[02:40.30] [02:41.39]Now for ten years we've been on our own [02:44.99]And moss grows fat on a rolling stone [02:48.86]But that's not how it used to be [02:53.04] [02:53.60]When the jester sang for the king and queen [02:57.46]In a coat he borrowed from james dean [03:00.89]And a voice that came from you and me [03:06.14] [03:07.49]Oh and while the king was looking down [03:11.30]The jester stole his thorny crown [03:14.82]The courtroom was adjourned [03:17.96]No verdict was returned [03:21.39]And while lenin read a book on marx [03:25.24]The quartet practiced in the park [03:28.67]And we sang dirges in the dark [03:32.10]The day the music died [03:36.66] [03:37.92]We were singing bye bye miss american pie [03:42.29]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [03:45.89]And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye [03:49.49]Singing this'll be the day that i die this'll be the day that i die [03:56.58] [03:58.69]Helter skelter in a summer swelter [04:01.93]The birds flew off with a fallout shelter [04:05.99]Eight miles high and falling fast [04:10.92]Landed foul on the grass [04:13.93]The players tried for a forward pass [04:17.61]With the jester on the

[04:37.92]'Cause the players tried to take the field [04:41.86]The marching band refused to yield [04:45.30]Do you recall what was revealed [04:48.52]The day the music died [04:54.46]We started singing bye bye miss american pie [04:58.77]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [05:02.68]Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye [05:05.92]And singing this'll be the day that [05:07.36]I die this'll be the day that i die [05:12.83] [05:14.58]Oh and there we were all in one place a generation lost in space [05:21.84]With no time left to start again [05:26.54]So come on jack be nimble jack be quick [05:30.10] [05:30.67]Jack flash sat on a candlestick 'cause fire is the only devil's friend [05:40.41]Oh and as i watched him on the stage [05:44.05]My hands were clenched in fists of rage [05:47.73]No angel born in hell [05:50.29] [05:50.83]Could break that satan's spell [05:54.22]And as the flames climbed high into the night [05:58.13]To light the sacrificial rite [06:01.08]I saw satan laughing with delight [06:04.76]The day the music died [06:09.47] [06:10.80]He was singing bye bye miss american pie [06:14.85]Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

blues [06:35.15]And i asked her for some happy news [06:39.61]She just smiled and turned away [06:45.12]I went down to the sacred store [06:47.93]Where i'd heard the music years before [06:52.14]But the man there said the music wouldn't play [06:57.21]And in the streets the children screamed [07:03.27]The lovers cried and the poets dreamed [07:06.85]Not a word was spoken [07:09.76]The church
