"Bluebird"

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

-Chuck Bukowski

Bluebird

This is a track that didn't make it on to Bibles & Basterds. 


It's a song about redemption, the kind that drives with five speeds and four wheels. 

"Here I am, all alone in this place.

I got to thinking...

I couldn't help but feel like a slick chromed American prince.

There she was, bags packed and ready to go. 

We were never getting out of here, our love wasn't going to last. 

At least we got to pretend, if only for a little while."


My Last Letter To Charles Bukowski

But when we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
