Next of Kin |
| I saw a crash on the interstate |
| It left a feeling I could not shake |
| Just a name in a database who must be notified |
| It’s not a phone call I wanna make |
| A stranger answers, I hesitate |
| Got some bad news that couldn’t wait |
| Are you sitting down? |
| Her bathrobe hangs on the bedroom door |
| Though she’s been dead for a year or more |
| He buried her by the sycamore |
| So that he could keep her close |
| It broke his heart and it made him old |
| Tries to rebuild but it just erodes |
| Some people say that’s the way it goes |
| But he don’t feel that way |
| Get too drunk and you can’t perform |
| Something dies when a star is born |
| I spread my anger like Agent Orange |
| I was indiscriminate |
| Yeah, I met Lou Reed and Patti Smith |
| It didn’t make me feel different |
| I guess I lost all my innocence |
| Way too long ago |
| She called my bluff and she won the fight |
| I ran outside in the hot twilight |
| I had a lighter that didn’t light |
| Well I know I shouldn’t smoke |
| I was gone, I was free to leave |
| Walking fast down the Bowery |
| Tears in my eyes so I couldn’t see |
| But I made my way back home |
