Furious Love (For Liz) - Tom Russell

There’s a penthouse on top of the Plaza Hotel

In El Paso, looking out on Juarez

Liz Taylor lived there with her husband Nicky Hilton

At least that’s what the newspaper said

But now the Plaza’s closed down and Juarez is on fire

And the news came tonight that Liz died

And one old alligator, in the Plaza Square fountain

Looked up at that penthouse and cried

She chased furious love, through her furious seasons

Always dancing between the rhyme and the reason

Tonight in El Paso, I’ll raise a double gin fizz

For the loves and the legend of Liz
