Meter Junky

Meter reader baby boy blue
Walking the backyards all dressed as who
The man with the clipboard the pen and the glue
Clipboard for holding
Pen for writing
Glue for snorting up his flue

High meter reader baby boy blue
Seeing nothing but color by numbers
A black and white world
Open coloring book with cheater numbers everywhere
And him with no paints crayons nor colored pixels to fill in the voids
Causing a collapse and creation of noise

Withdrawal meter reader baby boy blue
Curled in the fetal by the wall with his glue
Trying to get a hit off the empty as hell tube
Offering his body with no requirement of lube
Pennies on the dollar a value to you
Now satisfied you are on your way
Leaving him happy as well with his new tube of glue

Happy junkie meter reader baby boy blue
With a skip in his step mighty high it is true
Writing his numbers though the height of boredom
In another world entirely that no one else sees
Off he walks to his next stop not a care in the world
Whistling hands in his pockets jingling change and his keys
