BREADCRUMBS
from the corners of your closet
when the shadows of the august sun are fading
she’ll be waiting
scarlet letter on your chest
cherry vodka on your breath taste like regret
your karmic debt
jack and jill they went up the hill
strung out on coke and pills
gone all night
sticky fingers in cookie jars
where they did not belong
out of sight
moon was bleeding, crimson red
every trail had crumbs of bread
spread like jesus on the bed
poor old jack he lost his head
dirty money on the table
bet you thought you’d get away it this time
your perfect crime
little piggies wrapped in blue
burn the paperwork and hide inside the zoo
you’re guilty too
humpty dumpty sat on the wall
and took an awful fall broke his neck
all the horses and all his men
couldn’t put him together again
moon was bleeding, crimson red
every trail had crumbs of bread
spread like jesus on the bed
poor old jack he lost his head
