Beebo The Sky King
When the fog would clear
You would stare at Rainier
With the spark in your eye
That the ground wouldn't satisfy
So for just one afternoon
You became a god over Steilacoom
Doing tricks on Puget Sound
Spreading love to the people on the ground
How did you do it
Where did you learn to fly a plane
When you went through it
In a way we all felt the same
We said long live the sky king
Long live the sky king
Was it fumes from the kerosene
Or did the ground get a little too mean
Once you threw up on the cockpit floor
Did you wonder what for
While they scrambled F-15s
You were cracking jokes with ATC
I hope you found serenity
Before you dove in the golden heat
Why did you do it
What part of your life could you not stand
We never understood it
But we wished you'd never have to land
We said long live the sky king
Love live the sky king
You would stare at Rainier
With the spark in your eye
That the ground wouldn't satisfy
So for just one afternoon
You became a god over Steilacoom
Doing tricks on Puget Sound
Spreading love to the people on the ground
How did you do it
Where did you learn to fly a plane
When you went through it
In a way we all felt the same
We said long live the sky king
Long live the sky king
Was it fumes from the kerosene
Or did the ground get a little too mean
Once you threw up on the cockpit floor
Did you wonder what for
While they scrambled F-15s
You were cracking jokes with ATC
I hope you found serenity
Before you dove in the golden heat
Why did you do it
What part of your life could you not stand
We never understood it
But we wished you'd never have to land
We said long live the sky king
Love live the sky king
