[01:13.55] Let's take it back to the first party
[01:16.64] When you tried your first molly
[01:19.75] And came out of your body
[01:22.21] And came out of your body
[01:25.18] Running naked down the lobby
[01:28.05] And you was screamin' that you love me
[01:30.79] Before the limelight tore ya'
[01:33.34] Before the limelight stole ya'
[01:36.08] Remember we were so young
[01:39.02] When I would hold you
[01:43.77] Before the blood on the leaves
[01:50.75] I know there ain't wrong with me
[01:55.56] Something strange is happening
[01:59.82]
[02:04.13] You could've been somebody
[02:06.16] We could've ugh, we could've been somebody
[02:09.83] Or was it on the first party
[02:12.63] When we tried our first molly
[02:15.64] And came out of our body
[02:18.20] And came out of our body
[02:21.79]
[02:24.61] Before they call lawyers
[02:26.82] Before you tried to destroy us

[04:08.60] Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze, breeze
[04:18.01] Strange fruit, fruit from the Poplar trees, from the Poplar trees
[04:28.80] That summer night holding long and long, 'din long
