The Creation of the Morning Line (Live) lyrics
by Charles Bukowski
The morning line runs about thus:
Cliche: 6 to 5
Originality: 5 to 2
Treachery: 4
Hope: 6
Malfunction: 6
History: 8
Medicine: 10
Syphilis: 12
Kindness: 15
Law: 20
Crime: 20
Copulation: 30
Love: 50
Forget overlays
Love never won yet
Since platitude was an overnight scratch
If you can get 3 to 5 on cliche
Put down everything you've got
