who were you who was he who were all those boys i used really and who
is this girl they used in return?
sitting
cramped in your shitty car
one a.m. skin absorbing so a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y. the traces of
alcohol and cigarettes on your breath i am limitless like a wanton
philistine, the delilah-BEcome-jezebel of this (and every similar)
situation, damaged smiles and soda water
salivia stalled in the back of my mouth (don't.cut.your.hair), i
remember he said, (i need something to tie you down with) you
make me adulterous pretentious badly forged artwork looking
for a patty hearst adventure, b r a i n w...a..s..h.. me with
glitter in this tangle of black lingerie knotted satin bedsheets,
bitemarks bloodstains ring around the shower drain
(you get what you
give, don't hurt the boys if you want to live)
they need something to tie you down with
ii.
jezebel,
oh jezebel/you made me such a tattle tale
jezebel,
jezebel/you make me scream you make me yell
pretty pill i pop like
methamphetamines
you make me free
you make me scream
jezebel, oh jezebel/you make me kiss
you
made me tell

they'll
find you on the street with rhinestones under your feet
dare dare

jezebel, oh jezebel/ you get what you fucking tell
oh, jezebel.
iii.
what
becomes
of the good that don't die young
and the sinners that
aren't really fools-
mirror, mirror that crashed and fell
they
threw me to the dogs so i wouldn't tell

(WHO PUT ME) /in/ HELL?
(they threw me to the dogs so i wouldn't tell)

Not what I usually write, a mix of two different styles I've been intrigued by lately. Jezebel is, of course, considered the archtype for the "wicked woman," and Delilah the deceitful temptress, and I've always liked those bad Bible bitches, so. . .here you go. This is partially based on real events, but in the end I really just took the idea and ran with it. Not sure if it's up to par, but nevertheless, this is what you've got. Also, if you know the story of Jezebel, the ending makes more sense. I promise.
