lyrics

MICHAEL JACKSON IS NOT DEAD - ℗© 2023 Dave Birk

Michael Jackson is not dead, he's merely sleeping
I wonder if he's having some nice dreams (yeah-e-yeah)
In the next room John Lennon's tea is gently steeping
I wonder what happens when the two finally meet
Have they been knockin’ on the walls

who-who-who-who really knows anyway
who-who-who-who really can say-ay-ay-ay
who-who-who-who really knows anyway

I saw Elvis in the flesh one certain Friday
At a payphone in a small suburban town (yeah-e-yeah)
I wonder who he was calling and if they hung up
Did they think it was some punk kid just foolin’ around
If they listened he’d be home by now

who-who-who-who really knows anyway
who-who-who-who really can say-ay-ay-ay
who-who-who-who really knows anyway

Maybe it's not true
Maybe it's all made up in my head
Maybe I'm just hoping for some miraculous discovery

Michael Jackson is not dead, he's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He’s sleeping

Dave Birk recommends:

HISTORY SPEAKS
by Deep Sea Diver

Indie/Alt with a twist of 60's feel, it has a smart feel and rich textures. "Ships" is more adventurous than 99% of the stuff out there. Dave Birk

The Daylight EP
by Andrew Belle

Andrew is the real deal. His voice reminds me of Mumford & Sons, but he has this cool folky-pop, singer/songwriter styling with excellent songs and production. Definitely one to watch. Dave Birk
