The King Of Pop

from Down The Bright Stream by Vinny Peculiar

/

lyrics

Tickets all gone sold out in a flash
A stage and a coffin draped in a flag
And the band know how to kick ass
The king of pop is dead

I was a fan a fan of his work
But lately it got way too absurd
But I’ll always remember when I first heard
The king of pop is dead

Tributes poured in from all over the world
Smokey Stevie Martha and the girls
Young children kneel at the foot of his bed say
The king of pop is dead

Elvis Toni Ela and Bing
They all loved to watch him dance and sing
David George and Elizabeth T knew what a treasure he could be

Some blame the media some blame the press?
Some blames the hangers on and the fame obsessed?
And we all blame the father for the child’s distress

Now the king of pop is dead

The Jarvis incident and the crazy chimpanzee
The peter pan of pop has his own toy factory
In the never never ever land of the free but
The king of pop is dead

Watching the footage from the comeback tour
As the minister says raw talent so pure
And of course we believe in we believe in him for sure
Now the king of pop is dead

Dead

We killed him

Dead
