Song Lyrics - He's Still Dead
Do you remember Freddie?
He’s still dead
His body’s gone
All that’s left is the lead
Maybe you never heard of him
Or maybe you did
Did the song reach you
Or did you shrug instead?
Yeah he’s still dead
Curtis took him away
Took him to his own grave
There’s not much else to say
He’s just another dead junkie
Or maybe a made-up soul
So you can see how life is
Next to the corner pole
Did it matter to anyone?
You figure he was a crazy nigger
Just one you read about
Maybe you pulled the trigger
That’s what I’m going to say
Where could he go anyway?
He was dead in his mother’s womb
But the song is his beautiful tomb
Yeah he’s still dead
Curtis took him away
Took him to his own grave
I wonder if anyone bothered to pray
He’s just another dead junkie
Or maybe a made-up soul
So you can see the show
Next to the corner pole
Maybe he asked you a question
About getting high
Maybe he said something else
Like wanting to live instead of having to die
Yeah he’s still dead
Curtis took him away
Took him to his own grave
All his life he had to pay
He’s just another dead junkie
Or maybe a made-up soul
So you can stand
Next to the corner pole
