Lời bài hát: Natalie Merchant. Tigerlily. River.

Young and strong Hollywood son
In the early morning light
This star fell down
On Sunset Boulevard

Young and strong beautiful one
We embraced so close
Is gone
Was torn away

Let the youth of America mourn
Include him in their prayers
Let his image linger on
Repeat it everywhere

With candles, with flowers
He was one of ours
One of ours

Why don't you let him be?
He's gone
We know
Give his mother and his father peace

Your vulture's candor, your casual slander
You murder his memory
He's gone, we know
It's nothing but a tragedy

Lay to rest your soul and body
Lay beside your name
Lay to rest your rage
Your hunger and amazing grace

With candles, with flowers
You were one of ours
One of ours

I saw cameras expose your life
I heard rumors explode with lies
I saw children in tears
Cry and crowd around the sight

Of where you had collapsed that day
Where your last breath and word had been sighed
Where your heart had burst
And where you had died
Where you had died
Where you had died

I saw how they were lost in grieving
All half believing if you were gone
The loss and pain of it
Crime and the shame of it, you were gone
It was such a nightmare raving
"How could we save him from himself?"

I saw how they were lost in grieving
All half believing, you were gone
The loss and pain of it
Crime and the shame of it, you were gone
It was such a nightmare raving
