[Verse 1] I remember where I was when I first read William Burroughs shot his lover dead Put a highball glass on top of her head And missed And I wonder if he knew it right then Or if it took a while to sink in That he would never come back again Not from this [Chorus] Baby sit still and close your eyes Its only the price of a good time Baby sit still and close your eyes Its only the price of a good time Of a good time [Verse 2] Well I heard he hopped a boat to the east Looking for that opium release And hiding from the final scene With his next fix All Jacks horses and Ginsbergs men Couldnt put him back together again He was broken by the weight of his sin And his pen [Chorus] Baby sit still and close your eyes Its only the price of a good time Baby sit still and close your eyes Its only the price of a good time Of a good time
