A long long time ago

[JetMom]

The court room was adjurned
No verdict wad returned

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

and while Lenno read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in hte park, and we sang dirges in the dark, the day the music died.

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

helter skelter in a summer swelter

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

the birds flew off with a fallout shelter....8 miles high and falling fasttttttt

 

[JetMom]

It landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

with the jester on the sidelines in a cast. now the halftime air was sweet perfume...

 

[TNCarole]

While the sergeants played a marching tune we all got up to dance

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

oh, but we never got a chance. the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield.

 

[Gupsmom]

Do you recall what was revealed, the day...


Jess

 

[Briar Rose 7457]

the music died.

 

[NHAnn]

we started singing................

Bye
Bye
Miss American Pie..............

 

[JetMom]

Drove my Chevy to the Levy but the Levy was dry

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

them good ole boys were drinkin whiskey and rye, singing this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

 

[JetMom]

There we were all in one place
a generation lost in space

 

[SyracuseWolvrine]

with no time left to start again

 

[JetMom]

so come on
Jack be Nimble
Jack be Quick

 

[Otto's Doll]

Jack Flash sat on a candle stick
'Cause fire is the devil's only friend.

As I watched him on the stage

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

Jack Flash sat on a candle stick, cause fire is the devil's only friend

 

[Otto's Doll]

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

 

[SyracuseWolvrine]

the flames climbed high into the night, to light the sacrificial rite
