Tim Hardin - Eulogy to Lenny Bruce lyrics

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?
