Danny Death and Dope
SOMETIMES THERE AIN’T NO FUN IN BEING DONE
Danny said “hey brother, let’s take us a ride”
The rest would be for fate to decide
At first I thought I espied innocence in his eyes
But the soul of Satan showed me otherwise
We headed downtown where the dope dealers dwell
And then in Danny’s eyes I saw a league of heathens in hell
It wouldn’t have mattered but Danny had to involve me
For it was then when Danny decided to go on a killing spree
He yearned to kill anyone who ever stole money from us two
“Listen Danny,” I said, “I’m getting out since this is all about you”
I’d known killers like Danny but on the list his came first
And swear do I by a demon Danny had been caustically cursed
We were headed for a place only a desperate junkie ever goes
And inside I felt as if I were the last summer’s rose
He was about to create the death of thirteen and one more
As we sped from the city to the New England shore
Danny was about to do what he wanted no matter what I had to say
I opted to run but Danny had a hankering to stay
There were thirteen funerals that week, thirteen plus one
Because Danny aimed the gun at his head and 14 lives were then done
