Neal Cassady Drops Dead - Morrissey

Neal Cassady drops dead

And Allen Ginsberg's tears shampoo his beard

Neal Cassady drops dead

And Allen Ginsberg's lips tighten and thin

Neal Cassady drops dead

And Allen Ginsberg's hosed down in a barn

Neal Cassady drops dead

And Allen Ginsberg's howl becomes a growl

Everyone has babies

Babies full of rabies

Rabies full of scabies

Scarlet has a fever

Ring's full of ringworm

Angel of disdain

Poor little fella has got rubella

Liver full of fungus

Junior full of gangrene

Mine is melanoma

Tikes full of gripe.

Whippersnapper's scurvy

Urchin made of acne

Get that thing away from me

Victim, or life's adventurer

Which of the two are you?

Victim or life's adventurer

Which of the two are you?
