mad max men,
and jack of hearts
heart breakers,
moneymakers behind the bar
laughing at our need to be scary
with no awareness
of the real things that scare us
love, loss and ironed shirts
the homework, the housework
the headache of a human brain
this way it's easier
heaving cheap cider down a skeleton throat
trying to impress a girl dressed as a ghost
you hope that she'll notice you
and your acts of boneless bravado
so get spooky,
get so drunk that you can't see
just to go home lonely
lost mask, wet feet
plastic fantastic and a fake freedom
we leave the party early, purposeless people
face paint streaking we are half beauty/half beast
laughing and laughing
until we realise we've got no better place to be
