when Jim Morrison died in Paris back in '71
I saw my sister crying as she came out of school
just 8 years later i was close to tears myself
when sid vicious passed away too soon.
From that moment on i knew that life in the music industry was damn dangerous
When Bon Scott drowned in Alcohol in 1980
I was also having problems on my first acid trip
and I still know exactly how sad we all were
when rex guildo jumped from his window back in '99
It was a shock, a bad dream
the world was cold and grey
we were sad one summertime
we gave up our innocence
we were young and we were wasted
we were sad one summertime.
and when Michael Jackson was found dead in his room
I saw people dancing the moonwalk on the beach in ibiza
and I wanted them to know that life as a musician is no cakewalk.
