Dennis Songtext
von Glenn Tilbrook

Maybe he took his life for granted
How can I say I never knew?
Pretty much finished as I started
When the fun fun was no longer new

Oh, the flat-topped, hard-nosed kid from Hawthorne
Everybody always wanted to be
Loved his distractions, wild and free form
Lived in the fast lane naturally

Tonight I find myself in Blackburn
Singing songs people want me to play
If I′m indulgent, I empathize
With burning the candle, fading away


Oh, the flat-topped, hard-nosed kid from Hawthorne
Who everybody always wanted to be
Loved his distractions, wild and free form
Lived in the fast lane naturally

He was beautiful and difficult too
There was always a party and somebody new
The fingers on one hand counting
The disappointment mounting
While the crazy shouting
While the crazy shouting

Maybe he took his life for granted
How can I say I never knew?
Pretty much finished as I started
When the fun fun was no longer new

The flat-topped, hard-nosed kid from Hawthorne
Who everybody always wanted to be
Loved his distractions, wild and free form
Lived in the fast lane naturally
