The CyberTones - Star 69

Going back in time
Far away to star 69
I'd look for Prince
In the purple rain
Way back in 1999
Those were the days
Before the real music died
Those were the days
Before the real music died

Jimi Hendrix Janis Joplin
Look at Kieth Moon
Hangin out with Jim Morrison
Jon Bonham too
Marvin Gaye Kurt Cobain
Chris Cornell John Coltrane
Michael Jackson Johnny Cash
Amy Winehouse Marley's stash

The day the real music died
They went to star 69
The day the real music died
They went to star 69

John Lennon Buddy Holly
Billy holiday
Richie Valens Hank Williams
Elvis Presley's grave
Sam Cooke David Bowie
Freddy Mercury
Nina Simone and Jerry Garcia

Those were the days
Before the real music died
Those were the days before star 69

So I turn it up loud on the radio
Or my cell phone
Baby I don't know
It may be old but it's in my soul
Can't let it go
It's rock and roll
Biggie TuPac JamMaster Jay
Robert Johnson Randy Rhodes
Selina and Brian Jones
Sid vicious Graham Parsons
Frankly Lymon Shannon Moon
I can still hear those radio tunes

Those were the days
Before the real music died
Those were the days
Before the real music died
Those were the days
Before the real music died
Those were the days
Before the real music died
Good ol days
Star 69
