lyrics

I cried when I heard the news, cried when I saw the clip, end of his career
Too young to vote, but I wanted him to win, I had bumper stickers
Mom told me he was better off just slipping away
And if he hadn't died, he'd be a glassy-eyed vegetable to this very day

We rode the boat, we vomited, we had a ball
Watched a supernova that was actually a United States ballistic rocket gone astray

And then one night, they crept into my tent
Pitch black and not making a sound
From behind, a single blow to the back of my head

"Kennedy's been shot! Watch out for Sirhan Sirhan!"

I was Kennedy, sprawled on my back on the canvas bed
My pal was Sirhan, brandishing the gun he'd made in woodshop
The other guys waving flashlights at me like photographers
There in the blinding confusion, struggling
In the most surreal play I'd that I would ever live or see

'cos it was...

(Chorus)

Get that out of my eyes!
I want to live
