Mikey got with Sharon, Sharon got Cherie

She was sharin' Sharon's outlook on the topic of disease

Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist

They were all in love dying they were doin' it in Texas

Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain

Then he lost his leg in Dallas he was dancin' with the train

They were all in love with dying they were drinkin' from a fountian

That was pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes

Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies

You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Some will die in hot pursuit and firey auto crashes

Some will die in hot pursuit while sifting through my ashes

Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain

That is pouring like and avalance coming down the mountian

I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes

Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies

You never know just how you look through other people's eyes

Another Mikey took a knife while arguing in traffic

Flipper died a natural death he caught a nasty virus

Then there was the ever-present football player rapist

They were all in love with dying they were doin' it in Texas

Paulie caught a bullet but it only hit his leg

Well. it should have been a better shot and got him in the head

They were all in love with dying they were drinkin' from a fountian

That was pouring like an avalance coming down the mountian

I don't mind the sun sometimes the images it shows

I can taste you on my lips and smell you in my clothes

Cinnamon and sugary and softly spoken lies

You never know just how you look through other people's eyes
