River Phoenix Lyrics

born to hippie parents
given a different name
which he caught much flak for
the world was his oyster
and hollywood the clam
when he grew up
he joined a hippie band
he was directed by gus van zandt
we'd like to think he'd have joined the smartipantz
co-starred with flea and keanu
we didn't know jackie O
she was one of the people that we did not know
nor did we care about her hair
her pillbox hat and her savoir faire
but still we thought we knew
maybe you did too
river phoenix

river phoenix
ian curtis
and river phoenix
and me and you
