Good Time Charlie

(albüm: The Seduction Of Kansas - 2019)

Like all great pornography
This story is touching
It's something I wanna see
For good time Charlie

Black and gold tile
Champagne flute
Sauna water dirtying
The birthday suits

Charlie says, "Turn up that TV!
There's something I wanna see"
In vegas, the topless genuflect in the jacuzzi
For good time Charlie

Five o'clock shadow
A desert landscape
The party politician
Has a hero's face
Fight the red army
Save the human race

He's an implacable machine
She's naked on the mezzanine
A lady in waiting, but, Charlie, the mujahideen
And joanne, your queen
Good time Charlie

Helen of troy, your helicopter lands
An honor is to serve at your command

Congressman and goldenrod
Will weaponize the forgotten
Because, they say, we worship the same God

Years from now he's gonna be
Half drunk in his office on fine whiskey
Do you cry for joanne or afghanistan, Charlie?
Contrition is a great american, Charlie

Good vs evil of stories we tell
We're the ones who never ever go to hell
It's not the stock and trade we sell
The hollywood and entertaining kinds of pell-mell
