Real Audio Killed the Poetry Star I read you in a book from (18)52 Lying awake intent at reading poems by you If I was numb it didn't stop you coming through. Oh-a oh They took the credit for your second tragedy Rewritten by funk and punk rock newology, and now I understand the problems you can see. Oh-a oh I met your biographer Oh-a oh What did you tell her? Real Audio killed the poetry star Real Audio killed the poetry star. Microphones came and broke your heart. Oh-a-a-a oh And now we write in our fancy apartment studio. We hear the beat and it seems so long ago. And you remember the limericks used to go. Oh-a oh You were the first one. Oh-a oh Now they steal your best ones Real Audio killed the poetry star Real Audio killed the poetry star In my mind your still a star, we can't be beatniks we've come to far. Sound came and broke your heart, put the blame on Bill Gates part You are a poetry star. You are a poetry star. Real Audio killed the poetry star Real Audio killed the poetry star Real Audio killed the poetry star Real Audio killed the poetry star (You are a poetry star) Real Audio killed the poetry star (You are a poetry star) (repeat and fade) |
