Szzay and Harley Bill
were cutting a rug
Johnny and Edgar Winter
singing Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo
had the entire bar rocking
a cute .. hot little redhead cut in
leaving Szzay standing alone
looking lost .. twisting and shaking
waltzing over .. she took my hand
I downed my beer .. got up to dance
as soon as I reached the dance floor
Szzay flopped down hard .. on her back
started wiggling all over the place
her head looked like it had grown
a weird smile appeared upon her face
seeing the coke had taken effect
I tried to maneuver her towards our table
she was having none of that
springing up .. attempting to sing
stepping on everyone's feet
finally I dragged her away
from the dance floor
told her it was her shot
to shoot a solid ball
she couldn't stop twitching
holding the pool cue loosely
she knocked the cue ball
into the air .. off of the table
her stick followed through
making the seven ball .. side pocket
going to retrieve the cue ball
where it had rolled
to a dark corner of the bar
there sat a Venusian and Martian
drunk as hell .. eyes almost closed
a cold chill went down my spine
I picked the cue ball up
watching my back
hobbled towards the billiards table
letting out a deep breath
telling Szzay to practice some shots
I ambled slowly .. to my bike outside
returning with two rolls of duct tape
proceeded to drag the wounded locals
towards the Venusian and Martian
taping them all together
I noticed Szzay was observing
what I was doing .. from across the room
realizing there was a Venusian and Martian
she let out a piercing .. ungodly shriek
flew across the room .. clawing at their eyes
after attaching odd shaped devices
to their heads .. Szzay jerked me away
jukebox screaming .. ZZ Top's .. Got Me Under Pressure
I heard her counting .. in her siren alien voice
hard explosions rocked the Crazy Horse Saloon
