Jackie-O
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A warm dallas breeze floats
through the air as a million hungry
faces watch the king and his parade
on show for the world to see prime
time america nineteen sixty three
and you were by his side I still
remember pictures that look on your
face the king had been forsaken and
his country died in three seconds
that would last an eternity O Jackie-O
I wonder what you could be
thinking now your mixed up little
head has been left alone in a world
so cold just a foot note in history
book full of lies you such a good
girl keep smiling make 'em happy all
is well in the land of make believe
as soon as the bullet left the chamber
on that calm november day you knew
the world would never be the same
the killer in us all just victims of ourselves
looking for the perfect death trigger happy
patriots running from ourselves you knew it would
never be the same again o Jackie-O
I wonder what your thinking now
you've been left here all on your own in this land
a world of make believe you get back
what was taken from you and go moving on
