Letra de Billy Burroughs

[Verse 1]
I remember where I was when I first read
William Burroughs shot his lover dead
Put a highball glass on top of her head
And missed
And I wonder if he knew it right then
Or if it took a while to sink in
That he would never come back again
Not from this
[Chorus]
Baby sit still and close your eyes
It’s only the price of a good time
Baby sit still and close your eyes
It’s only the price of a good time
Of a good time
[Verse 2]
Well I heard he hopped a boat to the east
Looking for that opium release
And hiding from the final scene
With his next fix
All Jack’s horses and Ginsberg’s men
Couldn’t put him back together again
He was broken by the weight of his sin
And his pen
[Chorus]
Baby sit still and close your eyes
It’s only the price of a good time
Baby sit still and close your eyes
It’s only the price of a good time
Of a good time
