lyrics

Kathy Acker is a friend of mine
I was going through a very bad time
Looking for a book that said
All modern literature wasn’t dead
I read Cities of the Red Night
By lonesome cowboy Bill
Then I found Kathy Acker
And I thought that she was brill

Kathy Acker is a friend of mine
she helped me through a troubled time
Empire of the senseless
And Blood and Guts
Great Expectations
And Young Lust
By the time I was nineteen
Kathy Acker was on my scene
Despite life being sometimes a bind
Kathy Acker is a friend of mine

Kathy Acker is a friend of mine
she’s a star that will last all time
I read about her in Elizabeth Young
thought it time someone wrote a song
I’ve never been to New York, but never mind
for Kathy Acker is a friend of mine
She died too young in Mexico
Why do the good ones have to go?
