Lyrics:

Len got a pain in his vein
And that mean it looks like rain
And there ain't no sunshine
For a very close friend a mine
For a very close friend a mine

There's a man way across town
If Len is lucky he can run him down
For him to screw him blind
Running numbers on a friend a mine
Running numbers on a fried a mine

In a poisen paint chipped room
He plays solitaire with doom
And I pray that he don't go blind
He's a very close friend a mine
He's a very close friend a mine

Lenny's been doin' it for years
Hiding from his fears
And you say that he's to blame
And I say that we're all to blame
And I say that we are all to blame

And there just ain't no pain
After racing with your vein
On the devil's freeway -
He died yesterday
And there ain't no sunshine
For a very close friend a mine
For a very close friend a mine
