[00:00.47]群星 - American Oie
[00:01.58]A long. long time ago...
[00:05.60]I can still remember
[00:08.25]How that music used to make me smile.
[00:14.21]And I knew if I had my chance
[00:17.07]That I could make those people dance
[00:22.20]And. maybe. they'd be happy for a while.
[00:28.28]But february made me shiver
[00:32.96]With every paper I'd deliver.
[00:36.88]Bad news on the doorstep;
[00:39.99]I couldn't take one more step.
[00:43.90]I can't remember if I cried
[00:46.95]When I read about his widowed bride.
[00:52.12]But something touched me deep inside
[00:55.55]The day the music died.
[01:04.20]So bye-bye. miss american pie.
[01:09.71]Drove my chevy to the levee.
[01:12.29]But the levee was dry.
[01:15.13]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[01:19.97]Singin'. "this'll be the day that I die.
[01:25.64]"this'll be the day that I die."
[01:32.37]Did you write the book of love.
[01:35.12]And do you have faith in God above.
[01:39.31]If the Bible tells you so?
[01:43.92]Do you believe in rock 'n roll.
[01:46.89]Can music save your mortal soul.
[01:50.94]And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
[01:57.19]Well. I know that you're in love with him
[02:00.28]`cause I saw you dancin' in the gym.
[02:03.67]You both kicked off your shoes.
[02:07.13]Man. I dig those rhythm and blues.
[02:10.25]I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
[02:13.31]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck.
[02:16.72]But I knew I was out of luck
[02:19.94]The day the music died.
[02:25.40]I started singin'.
[02:26.68]"bye-bye. miss american pie."
[02:29.73]Drove my chevy to the levee.
[02:31.37]But the levee was dry.
[02:33.33]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[02:36.73]And singin'. "this'll be the day that I die.
[02:40.64]"this'll be the day that I die."
[02:45.50]Now for ten years we've been on our own
[02:48.67]And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone.
[02:52.36]But that's not how it used to be.
[02:56.61]When the jester sang for the king and queen.
[02:59.93]In a coat he borrowed from james dean
[03:03.24]And a voice that came from you and me.
[03:09.41]Oh. and while the king was looking down.
[03:12.86]The jester stole his thorny crown.
[03:16.25]The courtroom was adjourned;
[03:19.63]No verdict was returned.
[03:22.35]And while lennon read a book of marx.
[03:25.90]The quartet practiced in the park.
[03:29.31]And we sang dirges in the dark
[03:32.49]The day the music died.
[03:37.91]We were singing.
[03:39.01]"bye-bye. miss american pie."
[03:42.03]Drove my chevy to the levee.
[03:43.54]But the levee was dry.
[03:45.48]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[03:48.68]And singin'. "this'll be the day that I die.
[03:52.58]"this'll be the day that I die."
[03:57.58]Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
[04:00.74]The birds flew off with a fallout shelter.
[04:04.40]Eight miles high and falling fast.
[04:08.62]It landed foul on the grass.
[04:11.70]The players tried for a forward pass.
[04:14.80]With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
[04:21.10]Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
[04:24.41]While the sergeants played a marching tune.
[04:27.99]We all got up to dance.
[04:31.06]Oh. but we never got the chance!
[04:34.20]`cause the players tried to take the field;
[04:37.47]The marching band refused to yield.
[04:40.75]Do you recall what was revealed
[04:43.74]The day the music died?
[04:49.06]We started singing.
[04:50.11]"bye-bye. miss american pie."
[04:53.27]Drove my chevy to the levee.
[04:54.71]But the levee was dry.
[04:56.70]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[04:59.86]And singin'. "this'll be the day that I die.
[05:03.46]"this'll be the day that I die."
[05:08.25]Oh. and there we were all in one place.
[05:11.45]A generation lost in space
[05:14.92]With no time left to start again.
[05:19.05]So come on: jack be nimble. jack be quick!
[05:22.15]Jack flash sat on a candlestick
[05:25.26]Cause fire is the devil's only friend.
[05:31.70]Oh. and as I watched him on the stage
[05:34.68]My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
[05:38.04]No angel born in hell
[05:41.14]Could break that satan's spell.
[05:44.02]And as the flames climbed high into the night
[05:47.46]To light the sacrificial rite.
[05:50.65]I saw satan laughing with delight
[05:53.70]The day the music died
[05:59.22]He was singing.
[05:59.98]"bye-bye. miss american pie."
[06:03.02]Drove my chevy to the levee.
[06:04.48]But the levee was dry.
[06:06.40]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[06:09.44]And singin'. "this'll be the day that I die.
[06:13.09]"this'll be the day that I die."
[06:19.98]I met a girl who sang the blues
[06:22.58]And I asked her for some happy news.
[06:26.23]But she just smiled and turned away.
[06:31.14]I went down to the sacred store
[06:33.54]Where I'd heard the music years before.
[06:37.93]But the man there said the music wouldn't play.
[06:43.97]And in the streets: the children screamed.
[06:47.14]The lovers cried. and the poets dreamed.
[06:51.11]But not a word was spoken;
[06:54.54]The church bells all were broken.
[06:58.12]And the three men I admire most:
[07:01.75]The father. son. and the holy ghost.
[07:05.50]They caught the last train for the coast
[07:08.94]The day the music died.
[07:16.62]And they were singing.
[07:18.30]"bye-bye. miss american pie."
[07:22.63]Drove my chevy to the levee.
[07:25.18]But the levee was dry.
[07:28.17]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[07:32.54]Singin'. "this'll be the day that I die.
[07:37.93]"this'll be the day that I die."
