Eddie boy lit like paraffin
Spending two weeks in a crack house
Burns on his brain like Chernobyl
Dean was seen with a two bag purchase
He was lying dead on his mother's bed
Someone for pray for - 'til I met you
Life is like a broken arrow
Memory a swinging door
I could be your great misfortune
I can make you happy every day of your life
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Tessie turns tricks with a soul like ice
'Cause love left holes & four swell kids
Breaking her heart
I've got windows, I've seen much vice,
I've touched down with vermin,
Cowardice, lice, & I say
Nobody cares what you do
Please be yourself to death
I could be your great misfortune
But you'll never find a bet -
You'll never find a better man
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
Peter met Frank, formed a dummy run gang
Worked heist or hit for ten Gs flat
Blew heads outta shape for the name of Trotsky
Sinn Fein, Hitler cashdown
No hope heroes cover the page
With debts in hell & fingers in blood
Poor little bodies all covered in scabs
Threw it all away
Another life in the grave
Another life in the grave
Life is like a broken arrow
Memory a swinging door
I could be your great misfortune
I can make you happy every goddamn single day of your life
Making my love
Like a shining star
Like a shining star
Babe, that's what you are
Like a shining star
Making my love
Like a shining star
Taking my love
Just a touch too far
