He wasn't famous but I sure did love him    I've got his picture in a little frame    He lost his life to a big disease before it even had a name    But there's so many more and I've lost count    The hows and whys aren't important now    All that matters is they came around    And brightened up our lives      She was twenty one with her life ahead    You don't need to know her name    She breathed her last on the cold stone floor of a Hollywood arcade    But fate's right hand isn't always just    Puts a lot of pressure on your faith and trust    She was just a little girl, ain't that enough    To rage against the day       chorus:   And how did we get so lucky   Targets on the rifle range   Who makes the call and who gets to choose   Who gets to win and who gets to lose   It's like a rolling dice in the belly of the blues    And blues never fade away    Hey hey hey, colors run when the rain falls    But blues never fade away       He shone so bright with a lust for life    Like the Sun King that he was    His passions hung upon his walls and were printed onto cloth    And for reasons I never understood    About the choices made between the bad and good    I've tried to figure out why   The pain never goes away       [repeat chorus]      And there's marble markers and little white crosses    Along the beaten path    And I've spread their ashes on the wind    And I miss John Lennon's laugh       [repeat chorus]
