about

(DON'T) OPEN IT - written by Simon Rigoni

lyrics

35 Oakfield Avenue, Freeport New York
Mailed buzz and heroin,
found post mortal thought

Poor man’s copyright, from 1965

Don’t open it, I said don’t open it

Creedmore state hospital, village green
Shock me, mock me, I don’t feel a thing
Queer leanings, hostile mood swings
Stomp my, my ostrich head,
I still don’t feel a thing

Poor man’s copyright, 1965
I don’t want to listen to that shit anymore
I don’t want to hear it

Don’t open it, I said don’t open it

Syracuse University, downtown New York
Tormented introspective, romantic poet
Delmore and Seymour, Bunnies gift
Shelley’s love, competing with this shit

Poor man’s copyright, from 1965
I said I don’t want to hear this stuff anymore
I don’t want it in my life
Poor man’s copyright, May 11, 1965
Primitive, warlocks,
falling like spikes from the skies

Don’t open it, I said don’t open itI said don’t open, I said don’t open, why would you open it

56 Ludlow Street, on the lower east side
Normal like a caveman, no drug fuelled high
Heroin and Venus, on a Harlem sidewalk
To pay the rent, to keep warm,
moreover just to score

Poor man’s copyright, 1965
I’m not going to listen to these things anymore
Poor man’s copyright, May 11, 1965
Primitive, warlocks,
falling like spikes from the skies
Poor man’s copyright, from 1965
Primitive, warlocks,
falling like spikes from the skies
Poor man’s copyright, May 11, 1965
Primitive, warlocks,
falling like spikes from the skies
