THE PHOENIX HE HELPED CREATE,
OUT OF CONTROL BOY WITHOUT DAD,
SHOT THE GUN THAT STARTLED MY LIFE,
WHILE I DROVE HIM WITH FORTY-FIVE.

FRIENDS FOR YEARS IMAGES IN RED,
BLEW OFF HIS OWN MOTHER [bad word] HEAD,
CONFIDENCE, DEATH, INSECURITY,
MEN FALL UNREALIZED,
UNREALIZED, UNREALIZED.

MAKING DECISION OF DEATH,
WHILE EVERYONE AROUND YOU PLED,
NOW YOU FLY IN PEACE,
I HOPE, MY FRIEND,
MAN CAN'T AVOID WHAT HE'S MEANT TO DO,
WHEN HE'S MEANT TO DO IT,
EVEN IF HE DOESN'T REALLY WANT TO,
MY MEMORIES ARE OF FUN AND FRIENDSHIP,
OF WEAKNESS WITHIN THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH,
FOR REASONS UNDEFINED, REASONS UNDEFINED,
REASONS UNDEFINED, REASONS UNDEFINED.

FRIENDS FOR YEARS IMAGES IN RED,
BLEW OFF HIS OWN MOTHER [bad word] HEAD,
CONFIDENCE, DEATH, INSECURITY,
MEN FALL UNREALIZED,

DON'T YOU REALIZE,
EVIL, LIVES IN THE M [bad word] SKIN,
DON'T YOU REALIZE,
EVIL, LIVES IN THE M [bad word] SKIN,

UNREALIZED, UNREALIZED.

DON'T YOU, REALIZE, EVIL,
LIVES IN THE MOTHER [bad word] SKIN,
DON'T YOU, REALIZE , THAT EVIL,
LIVES IN THE MOTHER [bad word]
