Three cans going 90

Bullets pinging off

Clinker built this so-called soft machine of mine

Moloko velocet, opioid milks, sitting with dullards in silks

Operation’s octopoidal in shape

Tentacles faraway, different places

Others taking my blame

Like an Oscar Wilde bargain with a satanic painting

Cops avoiding this estate plainly

Even in plainclothes, so no one hassles us making sales

Operations for surveillance made to run away, chasing Garda with chains

Blank license plates, paintjob all sable, always the same

Racing noisy Opals like Romans at the Circus Maximus

Bet pile on the table

Ben Hur when I merge into your lane

Other drivers screaming bloody murder

I’m urging the wheelman to go further

Third can, the real man starts to emerge.
