<FONT COLOR="BLACK"SIZE="7"><b> American Pie </B>
<FONT COLOR="black"SIZE="1">I can still remember how that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry an them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die.
Did you write the Book of Love And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow
Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died
I started singin'
Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry an them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die.
Now for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the King was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book of Marx The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died
Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry an them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die.
Helter Skelter in a summer swelter The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul out on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While the
Sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died
We started singing
Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry an them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die.
Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation
Lost in Space
With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the
Devil's only friend
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in hell Could break that Satan's spell
And as the planes climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music woudn't play
And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken
And the three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died
Bye, bye Miss American Pie drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry an them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die.
