Remember that song called "Kill Me"
From Vick Timm's last LP
Too much of a risk for a golden disc
The price he paid for money
Ce soir, ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star
Ce soir, ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n' roll star
"Sing your song, you can't go wrong,"
Tempted his business adviser
"No need for alarm, you'll come to no harm."
He didn't mention the sniper!
Ce soir, ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
The news is read, the meaning spread
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Come on, maman, bend down your head
Turn off the light and hold me tight
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie
Bonne nuit
Remember that song called "Kill Me"
A lecture on political chicanery
A people's rape
Recorded on tape
Bought shame to the presidency
Tonight, tonight
One more point for human right
Tonight, tonight
One more point for human right
Remember that song "Kill Me"
Once used by a man from Galilee
He had nothin' to lose
He was king of the Jews
Secured his place in history
Ce soir, Ce soir
Assassination d'un provocateur
One yawn, two yawn, and back to bed
Turn off the light and hold me tight
The news is read, the voice is spread
Come on, maman, bend down your head
And just sing on, immortal song
Fini belle vie
Vick played the part, with all his heart
He wasn't prepared for the shock
When howling lead bit into his head
A new martyr for the book of rock!
A new martyr for the book of rock
The book of rock
New martyr for the book of rock
Ce soir, ce soir
Assassination d'un rock 'n roll star
From Vick Timm's last LP
