Seems lyke another night the flow
of high balled girly drunk
squandering favours far below
where girls should not be sunk...

and so it goes this passing trade
on youthful flesh they sate
their sickness spewed on rapine’s raid
their price the easy bait...

lucifer lucifer lucifer dear
where are the mannikens
charming and dear
where are the johnnie come lately’s an’ all...........
down in the fiery brim
having a ball....
