Lyrics
You were just a boy with dreams to live A boy lost in the wilderness so wide and so big The American night was oh so dark You had to shine bright just to leave your mark In the early years you lived on baked beans and LSD Helped you to be free and become what you wanted to be You knew you had so much that you wanted to say You admired most of those that had done it their way Youd played The Roundhouse in 68 I sold hotdogs outside the doors of the main gate You said Hi but you didnt wanna eat Said you didnt like the colour of the meat You were a rock rebel ahead of your time On stage you looked so dandy and so fine With your leather pants just like The Fugitive Kid You wanted to let it all out and keep nothing hid The Thought Police arrested you right there on stage Said that Public decency had been outraged Sentenced to 6 months inside of a jail You appealed and they let you out on bail You were like a Shaman on the stage A desperado full of confusion and rage Just like an angry young lion they said With all those demons screaming inside your head Jimi, Jimi howling at the moon Whyd they come and take you so soon Jimi, Jimi howling at the moon Whyd they come and take you so soon You moved to Paris and things looked great You shaved your beard and lost some weight They didnt call you a drunkard and a user no more You felt that life was now worth living for You took a bath at the end of the night You asked your girlfriend if things were alright Are you still there were the last words that you said Your heart stopped working, at 27 you were dead Jimi, Jimi howling at the moon Whyd they come and take you so soon Jimi, Jimi howling at the moon Whyd they come and take you so soon A Club 27 member you became So many of them suffered from the disease of fame That took over their mind, body and soul And then sucked them into that eternal black hole At that Paris cemetery they lowered you into the ground There were only 4 mourners that could be found Laid to rest near Oscar Wilde Whyd you go, you were still a child Jimi, Jimi howling at the moon Whyd they come and take you so soon Jimi, Jimi howling at the moon Whyd they come and take you so soon At the Chelsea youd stayed in Room 722 Near to the studio coz theyd taken your licence from you There is a price for fame and it sure sucks Later at auction they sold your hotel room door for 18,000 bucks Jimi, Jimi howling at the moon Whyd they come and take you so soon Jimi, Jimi howling at the moon Whyd they come and take you so soon
