|
Young and strong Hollywood son |
|
In the early morning light |
|
This star fell down |
|
On Sunset Boulevard |
|
Young and strong beautiful one |
|
We embraced so close |
|
Is gone |
|
Was torn away |
|
Let the youth of America mourn |
|
Include him in their prayers |
|
Let his image linger on |
|
Repeat it everywhere |
|
With candles, with flowers |
|
He was one of ours |
|
One of ours |
|
Why don't you let him be? |
|
He's gone |
|
We know |
|
Give his mother and his father peace |
|
Your vulture's candor, your casual slander |
|
You murder his memory |
|
He's gone, we know |
|
It's nothing but a tragedy |
|
Lay to rest your soul and body |
|
Lay beside your name |
|
Lay to rest your rage |
|
Your hunger and amazing grace |
|
With candles, with flowers |
|
You were one of ours |
|
One of ours |
|
I saw cameras expose your life |
|
I heard rumors explode with lies |
|
I saw children in tears |
|
Cry and crowd around the sight |
|
Of where you had collapsed that day |
|
Where your last breath and word had been sighed |
|
Where your heart had burst |
|
And where you had died |
|
Where you had died |
|
Where you had died |
|
I saw how they were lost in grieving |
|
All half believing if you were gone |
|
The loss and pain of it |
|
Crime and the shame of it, you were gone |
|
It was such a nightmare raving |
|
"How could we save him from himself?" |
|
I saw how they were lost in grieving |
|
All half believing, you were gone |
|
The loss and pain of it |
|
Crime and the shame of it, you were gone |
|
It was such a nightmare raving |
