Marky got with Sharon, Sharon got Sherice

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

Mikey had a facial scar and Bobby was a racist

They were all in love with dyin', they were doin' it in Texas

Tommy played piano like a kid out in the rain

And then he lost his leg in Dallas, he was dancing with a train

They were all in love with dying, they were drinking from a fountain

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 to look through other people's eyes

Some will die in hot pursuit in fiery 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 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

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 dyin', 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 drinking from a fountain

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
