lyrics

Blake Edwards died today,
His blood was spilled from his window.
And the doctors say it doesn't matter
And everyone says it doesn't matter, so it mustn't matter to me.

His mind was hard to change
But what's 200 lives for the greater good?
Don't listen to Jupiter, she lies.
And don't tell Laurie, it's still a secret

They're just absent friends
Who'd never hurt anyone
We're just forgotten souls,
So who's gonna watch you now?

Back in 'Nam he was a hero
And maybe got a little too close to one of the locals
Maybe he hates the human race as much as Manhattan
But the sight of his unborn son drove him crazy, drove him wild...
So he laid his vengeance on that girl

They're just absent friends
Who'd never hurt anyone
We're just forgotten souls,
So who's gonna watch you now?
