[00:07.86]He wasn t famous but I sure did love him
[00:11.55]I ve got his picture in a little frame
[00:15.49]He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name
[00:23.58]But there s so many more and I ve lost count
[00:28.14]The hows and whys aren t important now
[00:32.40]All that matters is they came around
[00:35.89]And brightened up our lives
[00:40.50]She was twenty one with her life ahead
[00:44.20]You don t need to know her name
[00:47.67]She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade
[00:56.08]But fate s right hand isn t always just
[01:00.31]Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust
[01:04.42]She was just a little girl ain t that enough
[01:07.78]To rage against the day
[01:12.31]And how did we get so lucky?
[01:16.36]Targets on the rifle range
[01:20.59]Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
[01:24.68]Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
[01:28.87]It s like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
[01:32.80]And blues never fade away
[01:39.77]Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls
[01:44.96]But blues never fade away

[01:56.68]He shone so bright with a lust for life
[02:01.09]Like the Sun King that he was
[02:04.96]His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth
[02:13.25]And for reasons I never understood
[02:17.91]About the choices made between the bad and good
[02:21.65]I ve tried to figure out but
[02:24.32]The pain never goes away
[02:29.25]And how did we get so lucky?
[02:33.66]Targets on the rifle range
[02:37.74]Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
[02:41.95]Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
[02:45.94]It s like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
[02:50.01]And blues never fade away
[02:56.89]Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls
[03:02.44]But blues never fade away
[03:10.90]And there s marble markers and little white crosses
[03:14.72]Along the beaten path
[03:18.29]And I ve spread their ashes on the wind
[03:22.49]And I miss John Lennon s laugh
[03:33.65]And how did we get so lucky?
[03:37.05]Targets on the rifle range
[03:41.19]Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
[03:44.76]Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
[03:48.96]And how did we get so lucky?
[03:53.57]Targets on the rifle range
[03:57.73]Who makes the call and who gets to choose?
[04:01.45]Who gets to win and who gets to lose?
[04:05.33]It s like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues
[04:09.38]And blues never fade away
[04:16.25]Hey hey the colors run when the rain falls
[04:21.86]But blues never fade away
