Played too hard and he died too young

	To be certain of earning his [burnt out/word of?] love 

	He won a place in history

	And his name will live eternally



	Lived the life of a movie star

	And he waved to the people from a big black car

	Down in a book with the greatest names

	As a lonely maid cried take [in/the?] pain



		Tell me a story minister

		There ain't no time left to lose



	Ten man tried in the dead of night

	??? the great man's final words to right

	In a room that was soft and red

	The great man spoke outside my head



		Tell me a story minister

	There ain't no time left to lose
