(A lone voice whispers)
I heard I'd lost a much cherished friend today
Such a wild joker
Irrepressible smile
Epic rave dancer
In her tight black jumpsuit
Wearing tiger balm and red lipstick
Who I loved to talk to on those 90s old black telephones
Rolled into one ball of irresistible energy
Oh, we had such irreversible fun whilst we were young but cancer
Came calling in her later years
And she got shot by his bright white SV40 gun
So now I grieve
For like so many others
Those we once loved
No matter how brief
From January to December
We always love them more when we remember
As their fire burns low
But never goes out
Like a never-ending bonfire night ember
