Erasure
Ballad of John Doe
V1
My heart can give me life
But when it breaks I will die
So I wouldn't risk being your lover
I won't put up a cover
For I am who I want to be
Not what you want to see
But when I go Remember me
I see a light
Coming from the meadows
I feel so much pain
And you might catch a glimpse
Of who I've become
But something tells me
I should go
And leave you alone
But I will not leave
Until you remember me
V2
Waves crashing in the ocean
Lives are flashing in the open
Someday wе will all die
Someday we will all bе fine
Someday There'll be peace
But now it is deceased
I feel I should walk away
But what should I say
I feel a pain in my heart
I will never part from you
I need new love
I want not to be
A lone dove like you
But a proud man
Of the one I got
I see the stars
From much afar
V3
This is my melody
I should be free
No one wants me
Besides my family
I feel so much pain
When you are not by my side
I feel like my life is over
Now I loathe her
For not wanting me
I am a fortune in disguise
I have a good soul
I can be better than them all
Listen to my only voice
The one you find attractive
I feel desperation
When I'm lonely
When I'm only
Bridge
All I want is for someone
To know my name
For I can't remember myself
But they remember me
Outro
You see it's me
John Doe
Long long time ago, 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
So bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll 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 dancing in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Then 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 singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll 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 rolling 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 Lenin read a book of Marx
The Quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singing, bye-bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee
But the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will be the day that I die
Helter skelter in the summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
It landed foul on the grass, the players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the halftime 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
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singing, "This'll 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 flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will be the day that I die
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 wouldn'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
And they were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"
This will be the day that I die
They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die"

OK Seotbulli I am a furry UwU
MatPat for da win
We'll have a blue room
A new room, for two room
Where every day's a holiday
Because you're married to me
Not like a ball room
A small room, a hall room
Where I can smoke my pipe away
With your wee head upon my knee
We will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With mister and missus
Own little blue chairs
You sew your trousseau
And Robinson Crusoe
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room, far away upstairs
(They will thrive on, keep alive on
Just nothing but kisses
With mister and missus
Own little blue chair
She'll wear her trousseau
And Robinson Crusoe)
Is not so far from worldly cares
As our blue room
Far away upstairs
