'69: Judy Garland

2 views

Lyrics

The first brick the drag king threw
 To draw blood from the boys in blue
 Said "Here lies Judy Garland" on it
 It flew through historic air
 Even Taylor Mead was there
 And Allen Ginsberg wrote a sonnet
 One day after the funeral
 Stones flew over the Stonewall
 Judy Garland
 Halfway through her tell-all memoirs
 Who flew up into the stars?
 Judy Garland
 Judy Garland set us free
 We tried to drive to Woodstock but
 Our little blue bug couldn't cut
 Through that last hundred miles of traffic
 Love still dared not to speak
 In l'année érotique
 "Je t'aime" was banned as pornographic
 So put those feather boas on
 Drink too much wine
 And celebrate the revolution
 Of '69
 Cause life-sized life never was enough
 Who called reality's bluff?
 Judy Garland
 Patron saint, or victim of love?
 Let's try "none of the above"
 Judy Garland
 Judy Garland set us free
 Some say its a coincidence
 No relation
 As if she didn't die for us
 Her love nation
 Halfway through 1969
 Who joined Heaven's conga line?
 Judy Garland
 Sick and tired of being alive
 She flew back to Rigel V
 Judy Garland
 Judy Garland set us free
 Judy Garland set us free
 Judy Garland set us free
 So be free with me
 Judy Garland set us free
 Judy Garland set us free
 Judy Garland set us free
 So be free with me
