Jim Caroll - People Who Died Lyrics
Teddy sniffing glue he was 12 years oldFell from the roof on east two-nineCathy was 11 when she pulled the plugOn 26 reds and a bottle of wineBobby got leukemia, 14 years oldHe looked like 65 when he diedHe was a friend of mineRefrain:Those are people who died, diedThose are people who died, diedThose are people who died, diedThose are people who died, diedThey were all my friends, and they diedG-berg and georgie let their gimmicks go rottenSo they died of hepatitis in upper manhattanSly in vietnam took a bullet in the headBobby odd on drano on the night that he was wedThey were two more friends of mineTwo more friends that died / I miss em--they diedRepeat refrainMary took a dry dive from a hotel roomBobby hung himself from a cell in the tombsJudy jumped in front of a subway trainEddie got slit in the jugular veinAnd eddie, I miss you more than all the others,And I salute you brother/ this song is for you my brotherRepeat refrainHerbie pushed tony from the boys club roofTony thought that his rage was just some goofBut herbie sure gave tony some *****en proofHey, herbie said, tony, can you fly?But tony couldnt fly . . . tony diedRepeat refrain:Brian got busted on a narco rapHe beat the rap by rattin on some bikersHe said, hey, I know its dangerous,But it sure beats rikersBut the next day he got offedBy the very same bikersRepeat refrain; repeat song to eddie
