Poison Pipeline Plunge — Nirvana and Zen
A long time ago
in a city far far away…
Hollywood, CA, to be specific
The author cut his first real original demo. It features Heath ዟ on vocals, guitar, synths, and drum machine. Production and mixing is all mine (I hardly had the $$ to have a professional do it).
Like an embarrassing highschool photo, it’s fun to pull it out for a laugh. It’s got youthful exuberance, a hint of punk aesthetic, and a vocal style that I’d quickly move away from. Truth is, it’s pretty bad.
I present:
Junkie Girlfriend

Lyrics:
shove a sharp object under her skin
like a poison pipeline plunge, nirvana and zen
still, I hate like hell when she’s out on the floor
shining like ash and eyeliner, sleeping till 4this zombied out girl, passed out in my bed,
she’s got holes in her arms and a void in her head
bloodshot, her eyes, and a face like a mime
she is wasted now, like I’m wasting my timeJunkie Girlfriend, I can’t be with you till the bitter end
Junkie Girlfriend, keep putting needles under your skin
We used to laugh together, but I’m not laughing anymore.
No I’m not laughing anymoreIt’s just half the time she’s completely insane
from the shit that she puts constantly into her brain
the other half she spends it mostly dead
Dreaming of all the spiders trapped in her head.this pale-browed girl wrapped up in my sheets
blacked out and strung out, unconscious or asleep
bloodshot, my eyes, as the clock heads to 6
I think I’ll be going now, before her next fixJunkie Girlfriend, I can’t be with you till the bitter end
Junkie Girlfriend, keep putting needles under your skin
We used to laugh together, but I’m not laughing anymore.
No I’m not laughing anymore
