Eulogy To Lenny Bruce - Nico

I’ve lost a friend

And I don’t know why

But never again

Will we get together to die

And why after every last shot

Was there always another?

Why after all you hadn’t got

Did you leave your life to your mother?

And Honey Harlow

The singer burlesque queen

How did she know

You needed morphine?

Why didn’t you listen

To the warning words of your friends

While they told you so?

I know you couldn’t listen

To people talk about

What they didn’t know

I’ve lost a friend

And I don’t know why

But never again

Will we get together to die

And why after every last shot

Was there always another?

Why after all you hadn’t got

Did you leave your life to your mother?
