on stopsigns and subway cars.
they got a mural up on e.13th.
that said halleluiah rest in peace.
halleluiah was a hoodrat.

she's been disappeared for years.
today she finally came back.
chords from the chorus
Walk on back.
walk on back. (or just solo on F# minor pent. scale)
she said don't turn me on again.
i'd probably just go and get myself all gone again.
holly was a sexy mess.
she looked strung out but experienced.
so we all got kind of curious.
