Who's Afraid of the Howlin' Wolf? (2018)

from Promises, Promises (or, Edible Feedback) by C Alexander

about

I recently learned this was my girlfriend's pre-Feeling Good favorite song. That makes me feel ... strange. Jim kills it on bass, as he always does.

lyrics

Who treats love like a vacancy
To be filled at the earliest opportunity?
Who needs someone to meet each day?
Who keeps pushing who away?

Who runs in to the nearest bed
Via highway or plane?
And whose pink skin turns the rawest red
After one hour of who's own name?
Whose gold ring is to tight a fit?
Who expects who to pay for it?
Who makes promises? Who's untrue?
Who keeps secrets away from who?

Who needs the last word in every fight?
Who here is happy and who here is right?
Who's got an answer for every charge?
Who keeps taking a step too far?
Who here speaks of some divine grace
The second that someone else's embrace
Dissolves to sweat on the poor soul's arm?
Who can get out of this unharmed?
Who's got a mouth full of ash and grime?
Who thinks who's been a waste of time?
Who doesn't get what they expect?
Who thinks the future is worse than death?

Who's afraid of The Howlin' Wolf?
I am/fuck you.
