lyrics
You came home to sing your famous songs
Like you never sang them before
When you were through
Timmy I knew
I would hear you sing those songs no more
Your body low on heroin
Your brain high on cocaine
You fled the sunshiine heat of Hollywood
To the Oregon rain
I remember when we stood outside the Troubadour
You saw the dealers sign
And said, Dont let me go with him
Watch out for me tonight
We made it through the dawn
As sober as the dew
But I was nt there when again night fell
and the dealer came back for you
Nico fell off her bicycle
On the Tropicana lawn
Somebody telephoned me
To say Nico was gone
But you werent around to tell me
When you hit the floor
I still hear you singing
But I will hear your song no more
You came home to sing your famous songs
Like you never sang them before
When you were through
Timmy I knew
I would hear you sing those songs no more
Your body low on heroin
Your brain high on cocaine
You fled the sunshiine heat of Hollywood
To the Oregon rain
and I am still in the rain
