Lyrics
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 Scarlett has a fever ringlets full of ringworm angel of distemper the little fella has got Rubella nipper full of fungus junior full of gangrene minor's melanoma tyke full of grippe whipper snapper scurvy urchin made of acne get that thing away from me
Victim Or life’s adventurer? which of the two are you?
