You know they say the day the music died was in Feburary of '59
but that mortal wound took much more time to drain the veins of music dry
so now we're here to mourn and bury the corpse that's just a coil that i used to love
dollar signs and demographics nail the coffin shut
dont give yourself away
Cried until my eyes went blind the night I found out that Kurt died
I was seventeen and I got drunk on wine for the first time
nine years later lost Elliott
and people said they saw it coming like you could have expected that shit
but seriously, who expected THAT?
Hold on to hope and don't let it go
better days are coming but they're moving so slow it's hard to see
and it wont take long for us to bleed to death once our heart's broken beyond belief
No, no, the music never died
but it's clearly fighting for it's life...
