And I don't know why
But never again
Will we get together to die.
And why after every last shot
Was there always another ?
Why after all you hadn't got
Did you leave your life to your mother ?
And Honey Harlow
The singer burlesque queen
How did she know
You needed morphine ?
Why didn't you listen
To the warning words of your friends
While they told you so ?
I know you couldn't listen
To people talk about
What they didn't know.
I've lost a friend
And I don't know why
But never again
Will we get together to die.
And why after every last shot
Was there always another ?
Why after all you hadn't got
Did you leave your life to your mother ?
I've lost a friend And I don't know why But never again Will we get together to die. And why after every last shot Was there always another ? Why after all you hadn't got Did you leave your life to your mother ? And Honey Harlow The singer burlesque queen How did she know You needed morphine ? Why didn't you listen To the warning words of your friends While they told you so ? I know you couldn't listen To people talk about What they didn't know. I've lost a friend And I don't know why But never again Will we get together to die. And why after every last shot Was there always another ? Why after all you hadn't got Did you leave your life to your mother ? Explain Request ×
