Watch  the sun switching  in the sky, off  and on,  where
 Our friend  stands bleeding  on the late  summer lawn,  a
 Slicked back  bloody black gunshot  to the head.  He has
Fallen  in the valley  of the rock  and roll dead.

 I hear a breeze that wheezes through the tips of the pines
 Ahere there's laughter and screaming to the rafters in the
 night. The moon rolls dreaming through the late spring
 sky, where our friend lies bleeding through his jacket and
 tie. A slit throat makes a note like a raw winter wind. We
 were piled in the river with the rock and roll skinned, times ten

 Like the water loves lapping at the skin of the shore, hear

 It's just a loud crowd crush. It's just a thrush, seen flying
 through the late autumn dusk for the very last time. It's
 just a busted-up body in the dust of the last road out of the
 city, when the city explodes. Light grows, and the light
 grows bright, and red-tinged. We were fallen on the
 border with the rock and roll singed. Times ten. Times
