Repetition

In the morning
I get up out of bed
Smoke a cigarette
I didn't even know I had
Half-naked
Bandages around my head
It's bleeding
Seeping through the fabric
And defeated
I pour a glass of bourbon
Oh the feeling
The feeling that I had
It's like I'm dreaming
Though I haven't slept since I can't think of when

In the yard there is
An in ground swimming pool
With no water in it
I'm not dumb but I'm a fool for falling in
I wasn't even sure just what was happening
When I hit my head it was an accident
It felt like falling into an oblivion
It felt like being cast into damnation
One moment I was standing on the pavement
And waking in a hospital the next

And it was glorious
I was victorious
And it was glorious
I was victorious

We are savages
Carousing with our clothes off
Like javelins
We're throwing tiki torches at our children
If you don't have any children then start making them
Make your children how they make them disciplined
Make them grow up starving for salvation
Make them grow up standing at attention
Tell them there's a heaven

And it's glorious
We are victorious
And it's glorious
We are victorious

And now I'm rambling
Never sure when to say when
Like gambling
You have to cash your chips in or risk losing them
To start over with nothing
Repetition
A beginning and a middle without an end
