Additional lyrics:

2.I know this girl she's barely alive
  She's all haggard, she's only twenty-five
  She said she's never had a friend before
  I said: "Hey girl, I'll be your friend, but who's keeping score?"

3.I saw this other little girl on the phone
  Her mother comforts her from far from home
  The little girl was very hesitant
  Her best friend lies dead on the pavement

4.I always end up back on the hill
  Lookin' down at the landfill
  I always go there when I can
  My friend Marty said: "Tim, you're a lucky man"
