I was Captain Kirk, walkin' with a black t-shirt.
LAPD, the nurse asked did my knee hurt?

Hospitals came, detectives wrote down my name.

Drinkin' 40s, he jumped out the project window,
Stabbed himself with a yellow number 2 pencil.

It is best to hope for an experience of life in all its fullness-a life that can embrace both joy and sorrow, and will still be at peace.
