a maritime merchant marine with 7 brothers twice as mean
while on a ship he fell from ladder-top broke his hip
they compensate him to this day
still he moved to the west coast to sue for better pay
he left his wife and kids for L.A.
now he spends his time getting drunk on another's dime
the gin mills keep his dreams at bay
i once went to visit him
but he just peaked at me through the blinds
10 years have passed still no reply
they say his well ran dry
that's all it took to blow his mind
copacetic diabetic
no veins; all shot away
it's the only way he found to ease the pain
