On the Other Side of Heaven

Cut off the
Phone
Turned the
Music
Way up 
High...
BANG!
BANG!
Someone's dead
BUT I DON'T
Want to
Die!
Put the
Phone back
On the hook
Turn the music
Way down low
Ray Charles singing
About
Being
Green!
And I GOT-A-GO
Onnnnnnnnn!
1975
(I had two friends with sucidal children...young adults...who really did kill themselves)
