I make love to my trance sister
My trance sister went on
And my trance parents see from the balcony
I looked out on the big field
It opens like the cover of an old bible
And out come the wolves
Their paws trampling the snow
The alphabet
I stand on my head and watch it all go away…”

-Jim Carroll from the song Junkie Man by Rancid

RIP you punk poet.

Not even Alanis Morisette would go that far ;) I’m pretty sure there’s nothing ironic about writing a song called ‘People Who Died’ thirty years before one’s death.

I guess he's now one of the people who have died? RIP Jim. When I was at KFJC I used to read the obits on the air, while “People who Died” played under me.
