Marie Songtext
von Eddie Spaghetti

I guess that I led the way and took him to town
Some say it thrilled him
But that was the place that took him down
Some say I killed him

But it could′ve been anyone
I wish it woulda been anyone but me
But that's a fact that I can′t erase
That fact's a fact that I have to face
I took him to that place and he's gone

He was a talented boy
He was a talented boy
He was a talented boy

He had a pretty girl and a lotta good friends
They gave him all that they could have
He never got the chance to make amends
But I know that he would have


It must′ve just got outta hand
He lost his mind and he lost his band
He moved back home to escape it all
And everything was cool ′til I got that call
'Til I got that goddamn call

He was a talented boy
He was a talented boy
He was a talented boy
Ah, yeah

They say that no one wants to grow up to be a junkie
But I think he did
You could blame it on meth, like that one about Keith
Or you could blame it, blame on Sid, yeah

He let me and his mother down
She was the coolest, always let us hang around
And it′s for her that I gotta sing
Or maybe it's for me so that she can see
It didn′t have to be Marie

He was a talented boy
He was a talented boy
He was a talentless void


He was a talented boy
He was a talented boy (so that she can see)
He was a talented boy
Ah, yeah
