Paddy

[Dark Shadows]

Here comes the Sun! She gripped Patty’s arm and they walked down the aisle as man and wife.
Little did she know that her life would be cut short by his cunning knife
A needle in a haystack is hard to find, you leave a friend a breathin’
In a hotel room because you are nothing but a heathen
The cops would come and find your ass, if you took your friend and revived him, even to dump him where the medics could get him, it might have saved your soul
But your heart has a darkness, black as the blackest hole
The smack you pack will live run around your head like His words from above
For you took my friend to heaven’s gate when all she wanted was your love.
You took a young and vibrant life
Your life was half gone to the needle and the spoon,
I would just as soon shoot your ashes to the moon
So no other woman can suffer your sharp and nasty claws
Once they’re in it’s all they can do but sin and sin
To understand a man who reads the paper from front to back
And yet has nothing to say but a dribble that reeks of smack
I have read your lines that are clear as the ones on the mirror after your last heart attack
When you are gone your memory will vanish like a moth flown too close to the flame
Not even your mother will want to blow your cover
