Friends and Lovers

Mickey Avalon


All my friends and all my lovers are... dead 
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead 
The filthy rich and the dirt dirt poor 
Are all the same when they can't take no more 
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead 

A slit wrist leaves a mess 
On the breakfast table, oh yes 
Better cut deep before you go to sleep 
Or in the morning you're the one who gonna have to clean 

Days I've seen make a priest lose his beliefs 
They get the call across the coffin in the bloodstained briefs 
See my cousin she was starvin' from the taste of relief 
Alas, windows in the trash, but you can't beat the disease 

All my friends and all my lovers are... dead 
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead 
The filthy rich and the dirt dirt poor 
Are all the same when they can't take no more 
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead 

Johnny made a record and went straight to number one 
But Johnny had a little fascination with guns 
And cocaine, he couldn't stand to take the slow train 
Got a little fortune lost, it breaks in the brain, ow 
What to do when your luck is through 
Whether you come from the slums or live in Malibu 
See him runnin' down the avenue 
Mickey Avalon with an attitude 

All my friends and all my lovers are... dead 
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead 
The filthy rich and the dirt dirt poor 
Are all the same when they can't take no more 
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead 

Lean B. Tucker was a mean motherfucker 
Seen him knock 'em dead clean in his corduroy slippers 
And the same way his queen bit Master Tucker's head off 
The life of his was lost in the Mississippi river 

Tara was a stripper 
With a smile on her face and her hand on a lever 
But I ain't mad, I forgive her 
I just get a little sad everytime I fuck her sister
