All my friends and all my lovers are... dead
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead
The filthy rich and the dirt-dirt poor

Are all the same when they can't take no more
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead


A slit wrist leaves a mess
On the breakfast table, oh yes
Betta' cut deep 'fore you go to sleep

But in the morning you're the one who gonna have to clean

Days I've seen make a priest lose his beliefs

Like Kathy crawlin' 'cross the carpet in the bloodstained briefs
Chewin pills like she was starvin' for a taste of relief
Her last wind was in the trash can; couldn't beat the disease


All my friends and all my lovers are... dead
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead

The filthy rich and the dirt-dirt poor
Are all the same when they can't take no more
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead


Johnny made a record, went straight to number one
But Johnny had a little fascination with guns

And cocaine, he couldn't stand to take the slow train
Got a little fortune, lost his breaks in the rain, ooo
What to do when your luck is through

Whether you come from the slums or live in Malibu
Seen runnin' down the avenue
Mickey Avalon with an attitude


All my friends and all my lovers are... dead
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead

The filthy rich and the dirt-dirt poor
Are all the same when they can't take no more
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead


Lean Lee Tucker was a mean mother$#&@er
Seen him knock a man clean out his corduroy slippers

And that same man's queen (?) monster truck and hit him
Found him lifeless as a log in the Mississippi river
Tara was a stripper

Tara done that %#@! with a smile on her face and her hand on her liver
But I ain't mad, I forgive her
I just get a little sad everytime I $#&@ her sister
