Upon Your Soul

With a throat of brass, the jukebox eats live nickels raw

It can turn itself on or shut itself off

It has no hangovers, knows no regrets, and it never feels the need for sleep

Can you do that ?

What can you do that a jukebox can't, and do it ten times better than you

And it hammers at your nerves, and stabs you in the heart, and beats upon your soul -

but can you do that to the box ?

King Juke

Just the Same

         There was no way to kiss her like a good boy. You could start up that way, but you always ended up on the other side of the tracks. If you hated her it didn't make any difference ; it worked just the same.
