you killed yourself with every howl
i saw you down on powell
you took the boulevard
and rolled it to the sky
you killed dear john
with the scowls you used to hang on
you even killed the hippies
they made you so mad
so mad
you had to kill them
so mad, so mad
and then you hit
the pillow hard
and broke your baby's fist
so hard
so hard
now your baby's on the boulevard
trying to get back to the gorge
back to the rocks and ice, so hard
got to get back to the gorge
where the rain will surely fall
you killed the peace
when you tore up every single lease
we asked you not to do it
oh, no
we asked you not to do it
by the way we
smiled at dawn
when the rain will surely fall
you killed bobby k.
at the hotel out in LA
did you think we wouldn't notice
when the bombs all fell down
ashes, ashes
all fell down
ashes, ashes
no one even asks anymore
no one manages the people anymore
no one even cares
you killed the peace
when you tore up every single lease
we asked you not to do it
oh, no
we asked you not to do it
by the way we
smiled at dawn
when the rain will surely fall
you killed the buffalo, sure
you killed the tiger and more
you killed apollo as he rolled out the sun
you killed just about every last one
oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh
you killed everyone
you killed dear john
with the scowls you used to hang on
you even killed the hippies
they made you so mad
so mad
you had to kill them
so mad, so mad
and then you hit
the pillow hard
and broke your baby's fist
so hard
so hard
now your baby's on the boulevard
trying to get back to the gorge
back to the rocks and ice, so hard
got to get back to the gorge
where the rain will surely fall
you killed the peace
when you tore up every single lease
we asked you not to do it
oh, no
we asked you not to do it
by the way we
smiled at dawn
when the rain will surely fall
