DESTINY UNTAMED


Wasted for the Interview

 (old punk song from my stillborn band
        Near Dark)


looked at my watch
quarter past four
oh shit
I'm wasted for the interview

grabbed my coat
and my ball of thorns
and knew
I was wasted for the interview

wasted for the interview
wasted for the interview
it's only my job,
my home,
my food,
my life,
what the hell
wasted for the interview

too many beers,
too many tears,
it's all TOO MUCH!
so I'm wasted for the interview

what dedication to job preservation
I'm wasted for the interview again
what am i gonna do 
wasted for the interview???
