One night I upon my motorcycle
 sped
And smashed my body so that
All my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close
and whispered to my bleeding head

The joke is not upon me


In my motorcycle mirror
I think about the life I've had
And how my soul's in pink[?]
and the holes where I had bled

My image spoke to me
Yes to me and upped and said
'You are the son of incestuous 
union'
One two three

Now my head is clear
My  bought
My daughter's pure
My son is whole
