Whorehunter

cruises Hollywood Blvd.
east of Western
tanked on the need
helming his big long
baby blue Cadillac car
like he was Elvis The King

a man with a mission
he's looking to do
the wild thing

he digs the black chicks
likes to take them back to his pad and
go down on them

let the horny devil in his tongue do the talking
dance on their sweet pussies like Alladin's lamp
calling out the genie of
their sweet cherry juices and set them
free

from what he would tell me
most of them would refuse simply because they
thought he was nuts

what John in his right mind wants to eat prostitute pussy?

Whorehunter is a high wire act without a net
an expert at psychic roulette
who lives for the feeling of catching death
pants down around his
knees

he tells me that sometimes
he likes to
make like Superwhorehunter
jumping between some hooker in distress
and her pimp
in the act of
getting his
bitch's head on right

a death wish without a doubt

so one nite
The Hunter pulls up in a small rented car
jumps out screaming at us for help
he's got a great big black he/she hooker
from down in Thai Town on the line
tweaking and raging
all done up in
tights and tu tu
sez that the bitch won't get outta the car
cause she wants the 20 bucks for a blow job
he never got

shit
any fool knows better than to jump into the middle of a
domestic dispute
especially one involving some big ass
he/she hooker on meth

sure as hell
she/he produces a blade
and shreds the seats into
spaghetti like strips
then snatches the rear view mirror clean off
in one flawless
don't fuck with me
kung fu move
then stomps away in furious Missy Scarlett
Gone With The Wind style
disappearing around the corner and
into the now you don't see me anymore fog of darkness
because tomorrow is indeed
another day

Whorehunter flags down a black & white
then tells the coppers for real about this
crazy fucking hooker that jacked his rental car
the cops are stupified behind his tale of
urban woe
they just drop their heads down and nod
like they got a winner in the
loser lottery
look at each other and snicker
then trying to be serious
look up
all soberlike to
get the rest of his story
give him the old
we'll be on the lookout
wave goodbye
and drive away
laughing like hell

can't wait to tell the boys at the station about this one

for years after he'd retired his
Cadillac charge from the
chase
and hung up his cape
Whorehunter would claim that he
didn't know that
that she
was a he that
night

finally one day
he confided in me,
"I knew it was a guy. He had done me a
few weeks before.
Yeah,
we did the wild thing."

I told him that he was
crazy back then
and he sez
no
he was doing
research for his book

damned guy's lucky to be alive

that big blue Cadillac is one big beautiful
dream of a car

like a hotel on wheels

it means you've arrived

whoever you are
