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 ?
