American Pie lyrics
Songwriters: Don Mc Lean
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that Musik 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 Mehr step
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside the Tag the Musik died
So 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
Singen this'll be the Tag that I die, this'll be the Tag that I die
Did Du write the book of Liebe and do Du have faith in God above
If the Bible tells Du so?
Now do Du believe in rock and roll? Can Musik save your mortal soul?
And can Du teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you're in Liebe with him
'Cause I saw Du dancing in the gym
Du both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage bronc'n' buck
With a rosa carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The Tag the Musik died
So 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
Singen this'll be the Tag that I die, this'll be the Tag 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 mantel he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from Du and me
Oh, and while the king was looking down
The jester stahl, stola his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Lennon read a book on Marx
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The Tag the Musik died
So 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
Singen this'll be the Tag that I die, this'll be the Tag that I die
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
Landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a vorwärts-, nach vorn pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While 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 Du recall what was revealed
The Tag the Musik died?
We started Singen 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 Singen this'll be the Tag that I die, this'll be the Tag 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 feuer 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 – Jäger der Finsternis 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 Tag the Musik died
He was Singen 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 Singen this'll be the Tag that I die, this'll be the Tag 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 Musik years before
But the man there sagte the Musik wouldn't play
And in the streets the children screamed
The Liebhaber 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 Tag the Musik died
And they were Singen 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
Singen this'll be the Tag that I die, this'll be the Tag 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
Singen this'll be the Tag that I die

Singen this'll be the Tag that I die
I'm drinkin' a soy latte
I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body
And Du know I'm satisfied
I drive my Mini Cooper
And I'm feeling super-duper
Yo they tell me I'm a trooper
And Du know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out their bodies
And Du know I'm satisfied
I'm diggin' on the isotope
This metaphysics shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope
Du know I'm satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant
And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler
And a bodyguard oder five
A gardener and a stylist
Do Du think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express my extreme point-of-view
I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm just living out the American dream
And I just realized that nothing is what it seems
I get a double shoté
It goes right through my body
And Du know I'm satisfied
I drive my Mini Cooper
And I'm feeling super-duper
Yo they tell me I'm a trooper
And Du know I'm satisfied
I do yoga and pilates
And the room is full of hotties
So I'm checking out their bodies
And Du know I'm satisfied
I'm diggin' on the isotope
This metaphysics shit is dope
And if all this can give me hope
Du know I'm satisfied
I got a lawyer and a manager
An agent and a chef
Three nannies, an assistant
And a driver and a jet
A trainer and a butler
And a bodyguard oder five
A gardener and a stylist
Do Du think I'm satisfied?
I'd like to express my extreme point-of-view
I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew
I'm just living out the American dream
And I just realized that nothing is what it seems
how they feel, oder what they say
your're everything, i ever knew
i always wanted, baby
i've been warned, so many times
they tell me i've ignored the signs
but nobody knows Du like i do
the only one for me is you
getting tierd, of hearing that
you're dangerous, but they wont stop
until i leave, they wont belive
that being with Du wont break my heart
so worried 'bout, the road ahead
they can't see that, your my best friend
there never gonna take me from you
there's nothing they can do
how can i walk away
when the feeling's so strong
i know you're where i belong
they say i let my herz
make up my mind
that's why i'll never say goodbye
i can't stop, can't fight, can't resist it
when the wrong one loves Du right
(oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah)
can't run-can't hide-can't say no
when the wrong one loves Du right
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
when the wrong one loves Du right
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My herz was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
Du smile, Du smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For Du are mine at last
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
Du smile, Du smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For Du are mine at last
At last... at last
