On the day that Dennis Browns lung collapsed
Spring rain was misting down on Kingston.
And down at the harbor
Local cops were intercepting an inbound shipment.
And for a while there it was chaos
As they handcuffed and then ruffed up some sailors.
On the day my lung collapses, its not gonna be that different.
On the day that Dennis Browns habits caught up with him
School children sang in choirs.
And out behind the Chinese restaurants
Guys were jumping into dumpsters.
And the stench was overbearing
But they were past the point of caring.
On the day my habits catch up with me, Ill be down among the jumpers.

And when the birds come home in spring
We will fill them full of buckshot.
And jets of contaminated blood
Will cloud the rivers and the lakes.
It took all the coke in town
To bring down Dennis Brown.
On the day my lung collapses, well see just how much it takes.
