"A Few Words About Dennis Hopper" lyrics
Say a few words about Dennis Hopper?
Well, I'm no gonna talk about "Rebel Without a Cause"
"Easy Rider" and "Apocalypse Now"
Even if he did act in the iconic films of three decades
Four if you count "Blue Velvet"
And I'm no gonna talk about his modern art collection
In the L.A. art scene of the 60s
But I would like to say
He was a brilliant photographer when he was younger, oh, aye
You've seen his photos without knowing it was him
Ike and Tina Turner at the piano, MLK and Selma
Buffalo Springfield in an L.A. canyon side
Andy Warhol getting vicious with a flower
That was Dennis Hopper
He had an eye for charisma, form, and perspective
And he loved what he saw, and he shot what he loved
You can ev' ask for more than that
Oh, aye, and he dressed well
Well, I'm no gonna talk about "Rebel Without a Cause"
"Easy Rider" and "Apocalypse Now"
Even if he did act in the iconic films of three decades
Four if you count "Blue Velvet"
And I'm no gonna talk about his modern art collection
In the L.A. art scene of the 60s
But I would like to say
He was a brilliant photographer when he was younger, oh, aye
You've seen his photos without knowing it was him
Ike and Tina Turner at the piano, MLK and Selma
Buffalo Springfield in an L.A. canyon side
Andy Warhol getting vicious with a flower
That was Dennis Hopper
He had an eye for charisma, form, and perspective
And he loved what he saw, and he shot what he loved
You can ev' ask for more than that
Oh, aye, and he dressed well
