A warm Dallas breeze floats naked through the air 
As a million hungry faces watch the king and his parade 
On show for the world to see prime time America nineteen 
Sixty three and you were by his side I still remember 
Pictures that look on your face the king had been forsaken 
And his country died in three seconds that would last 
An eternity o Jackie-o I wonder what you could be thinking 
Now your mixed up little head has been left alone in a world 
So cold just a foot note in history book full of lies you 
Such a good girl keep smiling make 'em happy all is well 
In the land of make believe as soon as the bullet left 
The chamber on that calm November day you knew the 
World would never be the same the killer in us all 
Just victims of ourselves looking for the perfect 
Death trigger happy patriots running from ourselves 
You knew it would never be the same again o Jackie-o 
I wonder what you're thinking now you've been left here 
All on your own in this land a world of make believe you 
Get back what was taken from you and go moving on
