Phil Spector Says

I’m the first to pull 
a gun on John Lennon
I tried to build my wall 
of sound around him
brought him into 
my echo chamber studio
gave him the right amount 
of balance & reverb
but John was too far gone 
on his lost weekend
amateur drinking 
with the Hollywood Vampires
at the Rainbow Bar & Grill 
on the Sunset Strip
I showed up at the studio  
wearing a surgeon’s gown
not quite right on 
my perfected five drug 
cocktail of Prozac
Neurontin, Klonopin          
There’s a total of five
so I’m missing two 
but I’m ready to get John
on tape but Lennon 
could not deliver
and that bullet did not 
graze John’s ear
Don’t buy that scam
I was sending 
a warning shot
I love the echo
It’s like garlic
You can’t get 
too much
