Terry Eason - Killing of the Lady Lyrics

Crawled out of bed one fine morning
Couldn't believed what I heard
Millions of people in mourning
Every network spread the word

The impact it was like an explosion
Was felt all around the world
People everywhere had mixed emotions
Every man, woman, boy and girl

The paper and the tabloids had a field day
Color pictures everywhere
Sometimes it's hard to tell what is just hearsay
But certainly there was despair

They say the driver of the car was hammered
Going much faster than the speed allowed
Some bystanders yelled at the men with cameras
Well I hope you're happy now

My eyes are not some deep white slime
That rolls across the printed page
Of news like some well trained showdog

People stood in line waiting for hours
To sign the book and pay respects
I swear you'd never seen so many flowers
It had quite a profound effect

Talk of price of celebrity and fame
Prestigious and the shady
Still we wonder really who is to blame
For the killing of the Lady

My eyes are not some deep white slime
That rolls across the printed page
Of news like some well trained showdog

This isn't some old parlor trick
Like a chewed up gumball from those
Penny machines found at drug stores

Better stop better stop crying
Hope you're happy now
