It was June 25, 2009
I heard the king of pop had died
People were crying and calling their friends
Between commercials on CNN

Larry King talking to Lisa Marie
About how those demons wouldn’t let him be
Oh the late night news couldn’t leave him alone
Never let monkeys...

That day remains burned in my mind
He was bigger than life but a lot like us
Singing and dancing and looking for love
Singing and dancing and looking for love

A thousand questions surround him still
Boys in his bed and the money and the pills
A hundred million records yet he died in debt
We all know the story, know the end

June 25, 2009
That day remains burned in my mind
He was bigger than life but a lot like us
Singing and dancing and looking for love
Singing and dancing and looking for love

Now there’s one more question we have to ask
What was he hiding behind the mask
Oh the fame and fortune, the tortured youth
It can rob your soul and steal your youth

Yeah, but the gig I did that night went fine

That day remains burned in my mind
He was bigger than life but a lot like us
Singing and dancing and looking for love
Singing and dancing and looking for love
