NO SIGNAL

NO SIGNAL, electronics with no conscience,
drifting around randomly in the blue void,
the kind of blue that would make the sky sick,
food network as abandoned me, NO SIGNAL.

NO SIGNAL, eyes are burning from a lack of sleep,
bladder is swollen from an excess of cheap beer,
back hurts from months of couch sleeping,
throat is dry from dehydration, NO SIGNAL.

NO SIGNAL, I hear the thunder heads rolling by,
I'm sure the laundry room is leaking again,
hair of the blue healer clovers my blanket,
I'm alone again for another night, NO SIGNAL

NO SIGNAL, remove my bent glasses,
wipe the cold saliva from my mouth,
make my dog shake hands with me,
muster the strength to take a piss, NO SIGNAL

NO SIGNAL,  my eye lids get heavy again,
I leave my couch for a different place,
where I love a girl who doesn't exist,
where I long for a place I've never been, NO SIGNAL.

NO SIGNAL
