You Clean Up Real Bad

from Listener's Choice - Best of 2019 by Bill White

about

from the album Captain Willies Bizz Bag

lyrics

My face has emulsified
Like a piece of nitrate film
My cheeks are running gelatin
My eyes are churning milk

Still I bought a diamond ring
With the last gold piece I had
She just turned up her nose at me
Said Boy you clean up real bad

I splurged fifty cents on breath mints
My identity papers in place
Rented a suit for the interview
But there was nothing I could do about my face

But some gel in my hair but it looked
Like someone had vomited into the strands
The big boss blew his nose and said
Hey kid, you clean up real bad

So I got my hair done by the stylist
Who used to cut Cobain
Then put powder and foundation
Up and down my ruptured veins

The cop said Dont you know that flannel shirts
Are yesterdays laughable fad?
Go on and get back into your own good hole
You clean up real bad
