the day lee morgan died - to sidewinder

Happy with Helen
making money on the grand concourse
falling for the sweet young thing
and the cocaine is melting
loosin' his groovin'
so he totals the car
walking away from death
though the snow has turned to ice
or something like that
and she's got the gun
not the bitch, but Helen
slugs on third street avenue c
dying from loss of blood
and he says
get away from me you dirty bitch
talkin' to the man
it's Helen's ritual
the way it was
the day Lee Morgan died
