[00:19.12]Watch the sun switching in the sky, off and on,
[00:22.50]where our friend stands bleeding on the late summer lawn,
[00:26.67]a slicked back bloody black gunshot to the head.
[00:30.99]He has fallen in the valley of the rock and roll dead.
[00:34.00]
[00:44.41]I hear a breeze, it wheezes through the tips of the pines,
[00:48.53]where there's laughter and there's screaming to the rafters in the night.
[00:52.91]The moon rolls dreaming through the late spring sky,
[00:57.85]where our friend lies bleeding through his jacket and his tie.
[01:02.06]A slit throat makes a note like a raw winter wind.
[01:05.95]We were piled at the river with the rock and roll skinned.
[01:10.33]Times ten.
[01:12.39]
[01:30.07]Like the water loves lapping at the skin of the shore,
[01:32.35]hear our friend come tapping at the latches on the door.
[01:36.54]Like a foot slips, slapping on the ladder's last rung,
[01:40.74]we were thrashing in the clatter of the rock and roll hung.
[01:45.26]Minus one.
[01:48.50]
[02:12.01]It's just a loud crowd crush.
[02:13.57]It's just a thrush, seen flying through the late autumn dusk
[02:18.54]just for the very last time.
[02:20.31]It's just a busted-up body in the dust of the last road
[02:25.14]out of the city, when the city explodes.
[02:28.83]Light grows, and the light grows bright, and red-tinged.
[02:33.26]We were fallen on the border with the rock and roll singed.
[02:37.69]Times ten.
[02:42.14]Times ten.
[02:54.83]Times ten.
[02:55.83]
[02:56.64]Ten again, then another ten million
[02:59.89]Fallen in the valley of the rock and roll dead.
[03:03.70]Times ten.
[03:05.08]Ten again, then another ten million
[03:08.51]Fallen in the valley of the rock and roll dead.
[03:12.76]Times ten.
[03:13.64]Ten again, then another ten million
[03:16.95]Fallen in the valley of the rock and roll dead.
[03:21.02]Times ten.
[03:22.08]Ten again, then another ten million
[03:25.83]Fallen in the valley of the rock and roll dead.
[03:30.35]Times ten.
[03:30.97]Ten again, then another ten million
[03:34.42]Fallen in the valley of the rock and roll dead.
