Whoever gave Marilyn
Her overdose
Killed a whole generation
It happened that as soon
As her flame was snuffed out
Cult figure deification
It's so sad
The brightest star we ever had
So unfair
In a hundred years
No one will care
Sands of time
Sweet dreams along the way
Put on your masquarade
For the passing parade
Sands of time
Like I used to hear you say
Better make it soon
They're walking on the moon
Jet age Jesus
And cereal box
Cartoon commercial religeon
It's all in vain
The whole world's gone insane
From watching it on television
What a joke
I try not to laugh
But I choke
What a bang!
When the gravity fails
you just hang
Sands of time
sweet dreams along the way
Put on your masquarade
For the passing parade
Sands of time
Like I used to hear you say
Better make it soon
They're walking on the moon
La la la
What a joke
I try not to laugh
But I choke
What a bang!
When the gravity fails
you just hang
Sands of time
Sweet dreams along the way
Put on your masquarade
For the passing parade
Sands of time
Like I used to hear you say
Better make it soon
They're walking on the moon
Sands of time
Sweet dreams along the way
Put on your masquarade
For the passing parade
Sands of time
Like I used to hear you say
Better make it soon
We're walking on the moon
