"Lenny's Tune" lyrics

"Lenny's Tune"

I have lost a friend and I don't know why
But never again will we get together to die
Why after every last shot was there always another
Why after all you've hadn't got
Did you leave your life to your mother

And Honey Harlow gypsy burlesque queen
How did she know that you needed morphine
Why after every last shot was there always another
Why after all you've hadn't got
Did you leave your life to your mother

I have lost a friend and I don't know why
You kid these teardrops glisten
I know it's hard to listen

Mmm, I know you work while your friends hang about
And say: "I told you so"
I know it's hard to listen to people
Talk about what they don't know

And Honey Harlow gypsy burlesque queen
How did she know that you needed morphine
And kid these teardrops glisten
While your friends say: "I told you so"
But I know it's hard to listen
To people talk about what they don't know

I have lost a friend and I don't know why
But never again will we get together to die
Why after every last shot was there always another
Why after all you've hadn't got
Did you leave your life to your mother
