Wake up
walk around
heads pounding
feel like a clown

prayed all morning
to the porcelain god
forgiveness given
with each surge
I hope I can avoid the urge

Mighty was I the night before
when drinks poured down my throat
like never before

pills compounded my morning thrills
as the mental ache began to vibrate
hollow head filled with dread

blank spots start to return
a woman’s face is born
stranger in lace
what was she doing near my waist

wallet gone
I wonder for how long
ripped of in my drunken stupor
I start to laugh at myself because
I thought I was going to dupe her

No more
never again
Not me
won't repeat that sin

really this time I mean it
this is the last time I drink it
No more Tequila
ever
ever
AGAIN

The "last time" is always the last time, huh?
