But he's front page news, let me tell you why
He's on the cover of the New York Post
All three networks, coast to coast
All he needed was a hot night in June
Cause he had the needle and he had the spoon
When he spiked it bit, and man, he flew
Into America's living room
We all love tragedy, it loves us too
It's a marriage made in Hollywood
Between greed and you
All you need to be a star is to die in open view
It's a marriage made in Hollywood
Between greed and you
Between greed and you
Between greed and you
Loved by women, admired by men
He walked down broadway with his best friend
His brain was wired like a light in a socket
With his old friend in his back pocket
That horse could kick, that horse could scream
Ride you out of here into a different scene
Unrequited love, that makes it fair
But who keeps score when you're in mid-air?
Repeat Chorus
Like a free-fall chute that didn't open
He looked down to see his dream was broken
He stared back up at a hot grey sky
Re-run his life and then he died
Well if you jump off a building, brother beware!
Cause my friend Jimmy woke up mid-air
No time to smile, no time to wave
They buried him in a media grave
Repeat Chorus
Jimmy's not a high concept guy But he's front page news, let me tell you why He's on the cover of the New York Post All three networks, coast to coast All he needed was a hot night in June Cause he had the needle and he had the spoon When he spiked it bit, and man, he flew Into America's living room We all love tragedy, it loves us too It's a marriage made in Hollywood Between greed and you All you need to be a star is to die in open view It's a marriage made in Hollywood Between greed and you Between greed and you Between greed and you Loved by women, admired by men He walked down broadway with his best friend His brain was wired like a light in a socket With his old friend in his back pocket That horse could kick, that horse could scream Ride you out of here into a different scene Unrequited love, that makes it fair But who keeps score when you're in mid-air? Repeat Chorus Like a free-fall chute that didn't open He looked down to see his dream was broken He stared back up at a hot grey sky Re-run his life and then he died Well if you jump off a building, brother beware!
