Flowers of Evil

What is up? Are you asking me? What is up? I'm asking that too
My head's a little spongey today; work kinda sucked. Yeah, yeah
A guy got fired and left some stuff behind, I didn't know how to do
and I had to work with Hugo Havermeyer; he knows his shit cold and suffers no fools


And I came upon a book of poems; named flowers of evil by charles baudelaire


Our heads are hard and the floor is cold and I can see the river through the glass
and the sun shines on the ripplin waves that carry the barges out to sea


And I came upon a book of poems; named flowers of evil by charles baudelaire
It had a hardcover it was just lyin there


Leave us with a litte culture here I was talkin to my friend named billy mark
about poetry which I never got much of I always thought myself less for it.
And he said he reads poems like normal books, yeah, page by page, cover to cover
you don't skip ahead to the juicy stuff you take those words as they come
