Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine
Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old
He looked like 65 when he died
He was a friend of mine

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and just died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
And I salute you brother

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof
Tony thought that his rage was just some goof
But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof
"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"
But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers
He said, "Hey, I know it's dangerous, but it sure beats Riker's"
But the next day he got offed by the very same bikers

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old
Fell from the roof on East Two-nine
Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug
On 26 reds and a bottle of wine

He was a friend of mine

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head
Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
I miss 'em -- they died.

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, they just died

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room
Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs
Judy jumped in front of a subway train
Eddie got slit in the jugular vein
And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others
This song is for you, my brother.

Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
Those are people who died, died
They were all my friends, and they died

If you can survive with a small amount of Draino injected in you, then you can OD on it. 

You can OD on water, it's called drowning.

Growing up in the NYC area, I've always liked the rhyme of "Rikers" with "bikers". I've always had a soft spot for this song, especially the longer album version (SPOILER: it contains more people who died).

Morbid....harsh...too real for many, most.  This song is a modern masterpiece.  He walked the walk, talked the talk, wrote the song, sang the song.  Tough subject but it brings light to one of the worst swept under the rug issues of our modern culture.  RIP Jim.

Perhaps a better ballplayer than poet. All of Jim's artistry sprung from genuine feeling.

The basketball diaries remains essential for any "little punk", like myself, who grew up in New York.

I scrolled way down and was glad to finally see someone knew who Jim Carroll was beyond this song. His book "Basketball Diaries" was highly praised when it was first released and Leonardo DiCaprio did a great job playing him in the film. I saw The Jim Carroll Band perform live in San Francisco during the height of the punk movement when this album was first released and they put on a great show.
 

Oh, I knew about it.  I read it when it first came out, years ago.  And I bought this album (yes, album) when it first came out.

Knowing the history of Mr. Carroll provides quite a bit of legitimacy — and poignancy — to this particular song.

This whole album / cd is good.  Great guitar. The lyrics are a bit harsh  but so is life at times.
If you can't handle this song, you probably won't like It's Too Late  off this same offering.

It was also played on some offbeat ( dare I say eclectic?)  radio stations at the time.
The first line
"It's too late, to fall in love with Sharon Tate"
 would probably have all the hate flowing right up front and you wouldn't even hear the really cool bass line. 

but then, the next line, 
"and it's too soon, to ask for the words someone carved on my tomb."
brings it back and is a pretty cheery thought.  Ya know ? Hey, I'm still alive.

Cheers.  {#Cheers}

Hmm, you need to get out more often.  The song is an inside joke reference to his book, "The Basketball Diaries."

From Wikipedia:

"The Basketball Diaries is a 1978 memoir written by author and musician Jim Carroll. It is an edited collection of the diaries he kept between the ages of twelve and sixteen. Set in New York City, they detail his daily life, sexual experiences, high school basketball career, Cold War paranoia, the counter-culture movement, and, especially, his addiction to heroin, which began when he was 13."

Amazing. We were just talking about this song last weekend while out in howling gale in a sailboat race. The age range was from late 20s to perilously close to 60, and we were all doing a little "died, died" chant thing while hanging on for dear life.

Great song in its own bizarre way.

You just have to take this one with a grain of salt, and a maybe pint of formalin. I don't think he is making light of the subject, really, though the general tone and tempo would say otherwise. Perhaps he was tossing up a caution to those living (or dying) like there is ALWAYS a tomorrow in one life or another. I mean, doesn't sound like he holds a hope for a return visit, does he? Maybe a little deeper than we think...
