People who died — текст песни (Jim Carroll Band)

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East two-nine
Kathy was eleven when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends
They just died

G-Berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam, took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD`d on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends
They just died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from his cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And, Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
(First time) And I salute you, brother
(Second time) This song is for you my brother

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends
They just died

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys` Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some, some bitchen proof
Herbie said, Tony, can you fly?
But Tony couldn`t fly, Tony died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends
They just died

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin` on some bikers
He said, Hey, I know it`s dangerous,
But it sure beats Riker`s
But the next day he got off`d
By the very same bikers

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends
They just died
