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

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 the 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 but

The pain never goes away

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 the colors run when the rain falls

But blues never fade away

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

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?

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 the colors run when the rain falls

But blues never fade away
