Diminished

From Jane's Addiction Wiki

Lyrics

Words In Red version:

I was walking in Denver, Colorado
When I came across shadows and light
He played with such courage
And after a great performance
He'd look up and speak to the sky
Joco
It was just a bad end.

Ghost of addiction
Maybe death was a way out
Hugh told me about you
He told me you were a really nice guy
Your passion was taken
And you were diminished
You were diminished
Jaco
It was just a bad end.

I was walking in Denver, Colorado
When I came across shadows and light
He played with such courage
And after a great performance
He'd look up and speak to the sky
Jaco
It was just a bad end.

Gratitude version

I was walking in Denver, Colorado
When I came across shadows and light
You play with such courage
And after a great performance
You'd look up and speak to the sky
Jaco
It was just a bad end

Ghost of addiction
Maybe death is a way out
Hugh told me when he met you
You were very sweet to him
Your passion was taken
You were diminished
