‘Cable’ [CK1]
… Cobain’s
‘Territorial
Pissings’
on repeat…
and I christen
you suitable
for [Public]
‘Emotional
Crucifixion’.
“You wanted
‘Dark’…
we’ve laid
‘Stingers’
on every
approaching
street here…
ain’t no way
an ambulance
gets through
… until
they’re only
needed for
Confirmation!”

* Cable or CK1 is street slang for a Cocaine and Ketamine drug cocktail.
