He died at 29 at the end of a bottle.
So in so few years he wrote all those songs!
Many might say, that’s not how you oughta
live your life, but damn those songs!
-CHORUS
Watching the fire still burn!
Oh when will I ever learn
that don’t mean I have to get higher.
I don’t have to set me on fire.
This doesn’t have to go down to the wire.
It doesn’t have to go down.
She died at 33, OD’d in a hotel,
that famous hotel where genius would hang.
She was always free, now she always will be.
Was anyone freer than when she sang?
–
He died at 75 he was always a fighter
screaming at demons like a back alley cat.
He teased the reaper, I dare you to try it
I’ll shave with your scythe, wipe my face in your hat.
