*Horn  Part  A*
How  did Camus really die that night?
 Were they right? When he died was it really his time,  or was it suicide?
And  Holden Caulfield is a friend of mine
 We go drinking from time to time, and I  find it gets harder every time.
*Horn  Part  B*
Three  went down (But only two  of them come up again)
The  minimal is criminal but less  is a sin
Though  three went down (only two  of them come up again)
 I’m not gonna  play if there ain’t no way I’ll win
*Horn  Solo*
Hemingway  never seemed to mind the banality of a normal life,
 And I  find it gets harder every time.
So  he aimed the shotgun into the blue, placed his face in between the two,
 And sighed:  Here’s to Life!
*Horn  Part  A*
*Horn  Part  B*
Three  went down (but only two  of them come up again)
The  minimal is criminal but less  is a sin
Though  three went down (only two  of them come up again)
 I’m not gonna  play if there ain’t no way I’ll win
Hey  there Salinger, what  did you do?
Just  when the world was looking  at you
 To write anything  that meant anything,
 You told  us you were through
And  it’s been years since you passed  away,
 But I see  no plaque, and I see  no grave
 And I  can’t help believing  you wanted  it that way
And  Vincent Van Gogh, why do  you weep?
 You were on  your way to heaven but the road  was steep
 And who  was there to break  your fall?
 We’re guilty,  one and all
 And I don’t  know much, but I do  know this:
 With a golden  heart comes a rebel  fist
 And every  single soldier  wasn’t fired;
 Some have quit
*Horn  Part  B*
*Horn  Part  A*
And  it makes me sick when I think of it: All my heroes could not live with this
 And I hope  you rest in peace because with us  you never did
 And K.D.C.,  you were much too young and you changed my life but I draw the line
 At suicide,  so here’s to life
*Outro*
