lyrics

in the back alley
behind the yellow door
Junior went missing
his absence can’t be ignored

eight ball *sung by the 8 Ball Choral Ensemble

and on the wall after dark
a blood stained landmark
his last known sighting
he must’ve gone down fighting

eight ball
eight ball

hanging from the walls
legends fill the halls
even when they die
8 ball hangs them high

and if the tales are true
and resin's on your cue
8 ball gets you high
8 ball till you die

cues crumble
bucks fall
a bullseye wins
but Junior rules them all

maybe purchased
maybe stolen
a mystery now
our hearts a-swollen

eight ball

maybe murdered
maybe he fled
but sure as hell
he bled, he bled

eight ball
eight ball

hanging from the walls
legends fill the halls
even when they die
8 ball hangs them high

and if the tales are true
and resin's on your cue
8 ball gets you high
8 ball till you die

once shining through
the musty halls
reflections gone
but not forgot

eight ball gets you high

too soon no doubt
that Junior lost
his trusty spot
but at what cost

eight ball till you die
