Heute morgen um 7 ging das Telefon
sie sagten: Dein Freund Jack ist tot
ein Laster ist frontal in ihn reingeknallt
der hatte überholt trotz Überholverbot
Zuerst wollte ich das nicht begreifen
ich dacht', das ist ein makabrer Gag
mein Freund Jack kann doch nicht so plötzlich sterben
wir wollen doch heute abend noch zusammen weg
Es war wie ein Faustschlag in den Magen
diese Nachricht von Jackies Unglück
ich versuchte mir vorzustellen
wie dieser Lkw auf ihn zukommt
und was in Jack vorgeht in diesem Augenblick
Ein komischer Zufall, erst vor zwei Wochen
haben wir noch über den Tod gesprochen
er hatte Angst davor, er meinte, dann ist alles zu spät
ich sagte: Nein Jack, ich glaub', daß nach dem Tod
das Leben irgendwie weitergeht!
Über den Wolken ist es so schön
wie in den Bergen der Antarktis
und weiter geht dein Flug, vorbei an den Planeten
und du erreichst die Rock 'n Roll-Galaxis
Und da siehst du ihn wieder
Jimi Hendrix, ich weiß noch, als er starb
warst du sehr traurig
weil's für dich keinen Größeren gab
und Buddy Holly
singt für dich noch einmal "Peggy Sue"
du bist froh, daß er auch da ist
und zusammen mit deiner neuen Freundin Marylin
hörst du ihm zu
Brian Jones und Janis Joplin auf dem Nebelpodium
und bald gehörst auch du zu ihrem Stammpublikum
