Mountain Goats, The - Song For Dennis Brown Lyrics
On the day that Dennis Brown's lung collapsed
Spring rain was misting down on Kingston
And down at the harbor
Local cops were intercepting an inbound shipment
As they handcuffed and then roughed up some sailors
On the day my lung collapses
It's not going to be much different
On the day that Dennis Brown's habits caught up with him
School children sang in choirs
And out behind the Chinese restaurants
Guys were jumping into dumpsters
And the stench was overbearing
On the day my habits catch up with me
I'll be down among the jumpers
And when the birds come home in spring
We will fill them full of buckshot
And jets of contaminated blood
Will cloud the rivers and the lakes
It took all the coke in town
To bring down Dennis Brown
On the day my lung collapses
We'll see just how much it takes

Mountain Goats, The Song For Dennis Brown Comments
If my love leaves
I'll be down with the jumpers
On the day that Dennis Brown's lung collapsed
Spring rain was misting down on Kingston
And down at the harbor
Local cops were intercepting an inbound shipment
And for a while there it was chaos
As they handcuffed and then roughed up some sailors
On the day my lung collapses
It's not going to be much different
On the day that Dennis Brown's habits caught up with him
School children sang in choirs
And out behind the Chinese restaurants
Guys were jumping into dumpsters
And the stench was overbearing
But they were past the point of caring
On the day my habits catch up with me
I'll be down among the jumpers
And when the birds come home in spring
We will fill them full of buckshot
And jets of contaminated blood
Will cloud the rivers and the lakes
It took all the coke in town
To bring down Dennis Brown
On the day my lung collapses
We'll see just how much it takes
"On the day my habits catch up with me, I'll be down among the jumpers..."
so sad but real
fuck robin williams bati boi . d b roughest rude boy bumboclot
John inspired me to try to write something similar for Robin Williams. "Try", heh. Been at it for three years now... John, Elliott, Eliot, Folds and Faulkner... they all know how to eulogize. Not me.
I know you'll have made something wonderful in no time.
