Initiation - At The Drive-In

i-n-i-t-i-a-t-i-o-n

follow you home after every show

perforated into tiny fragments

heavy breathing’s your new fan club

a john handcock with the safety off

after every show

and how this pedastel fits like glove

such a pity i built no ladder from

the roots and above

i’ll be hacking off

after every show

initiation

there’s no restraining order to keep me from you

these parting contestants neverwin

watch you clap your hands by the stage

lend me your ears

for just another page

in the book that your friend signed yesterday

when i told you not to bother to holler

your telephone’s the one

that helped

me wrap

the cord

around your neck

you know you’re beautiful

when you’re dead

initiation

there’s no restraining order to keep me from you

these parting contestants never win
