I read it in the papers, I heard it on the radio.
I thought she'd live forever, but she didn't make it through somehow. And now
Everything is fading, the world's turning black on me.
I never even met her and baby I'm so sorry. And now
CHORUS
Now I'm locked in my bedroom,
Embraced by tears and gloom.
Don't you tell me it's alright...
Peggy-Sue died last night - O-O-O-O
Listening to the records, it's all that's left as it seems.
A satellite transmission just crashed into the dream-machine, and
Smashed a perfect picture, I don't know what to do
Thought about phoning Buddy, but we all know that he's dead too. And now
CHORUS
It's like 10.000 songs, I don't know what went wrong, it's like 10.000 songs.
Right there in your sleep, the last breath was too deep, the one you had to keep.
The kids don't know your name, and the kids don't feel ashamed, and no one has the blame.
I don't know what went wrong, but baby sing along, it's like 10.000, 10.000...
I thought she'd live forever, but she didn't make it through somehow. And now
Everything is fading, the world's turning black on me.
I never even met her and baby I'm so sorry. And now
CHORUS
Now I'm locked in my bedroom,
Embraced by tears and gloom.
Don't you tell me it's alright...
