Naked Lunch

Naked Lunch (sometimes The Naked Lunch) is a novel by American writer William S. Burroughs, originally published in 1959. The book is structured as a series of loosely connected vignettes. Burroughs stated that the chapters are intended to be read in any order. The reader follows the narration of junkie William Lee, who takes on various aliases, from the U.S. to Mexico, eventually to Tangier and the dreamlike Interzone. The vignettes (which Burroughs called "routines") are drawn from Burroughs' own experiences in these places and his addiction to drugs (heroin, morphine, and while in Tangier, majoun [a strong hashish confection] as well as a German opioid, brand name Eukodol, of which he wrote frequently).The novel was included in Time magazine's "100 Best En… more »

It smells like rain today
Hope it wash the sun away
So lay your body down
In the gutter where I try
To find shelter from the torrid sun
That makes us all undone
It's the sun that burns the green grass
But also dries your eyes
A marching band's on the street
In the city that always sleeps
A bitter sweet rhapsody
Leads you straight into agony
So lay your body down
In the gutter where I am
35 degrees and even more
It's the sun that kills us all

It's the sun that gives us everyone
The feeling that we're all
It's the sun- it's the sun-it's the sun

Went out and had a fight
Now I look you in the eyes
You testified your love
And proved that I'm undone
O did it with my best friend's wife
It felt like paradise
But now I burn down like the sun
I burn down like the sun
A marching band's on the street
In the city that always sleeps
A bitter sweet rhapsody
Leads your straight into agony
So lay your body down
In the gutter where I am
35 degrees and even more
It's the sun that kills us all

It's the sun that gives us everyone
The feeling that we're all undone
It's the sun that makes us shiver
Makes us equal but also shiver
