Larry was a man with a guitar in his hand
and with his long blond hair
He was a friend in every land
and I saw him on the stage
but he fell down on the floor
a heart attack they said
But the people cried for more
Oh Larry, this isn't the way to die
Larry, don't let the people cry
Larry, this isn't the way to die
Larry, don't let the people cry
Was it '84 or was it '85
I opened up the door
they said your money or your life
they put a gun against my head
and blew away my dreams
and then they drove away
in a big white limosine
Oh Larry, I see visions in the sky
Larry, and I don't know why
Larry, I see visions in the sky
Larry, and I don't know why
It was in the night
it was in Berlin
I spoke a pilote in the Holiday Inn
And he showed me the room of a radio girl
And all that she wanted was to buy the world
Larry, goodbye goodbye
Larry, farewell goodbye
Larry, goodbye goodbye
Larry, farewell goodbye
