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
