Salam's Lot; new tenants coming
My little darling, mother of my child
Oh that I would join you in new abode
Living you were sweet, we had ups and downs
You were atop the world, I mostly down
But we cried and cursed together, huddled
Huddled where the witches were not welcome
They corpses, come back to haunt me and her
And now you've gone, of your own accord
Will you be like they, those of long long past
Oh that I would join you, I will, I will
You now, "a down payment on another
One at Salems's lot"*, pretty witch of late
*Stephen Kings novel, 'Salem's Lot has to do with my own disillusionment and consequent fear for the future. In a way, it is more closely related to Invasion of the Body Snatchers than it is to Dracula. The fear behind 'Salem's Lot seems to be that the Government has invaded (Quote of King, Wikipedia) everybody.[9](Quote of King, Wikipedia [URL]) - Note: Cobain died of suicide at age 27

where we were asked to use a line or more from one of Kurt Cobain's songs. Mine is in quotes as a part of the last two lines.
