it was early morning when they said
Mr Palmer's gone,
and he left the world in his own way,
his favourite suit was on

like a king removed from castles,
addicted still to love
no more earthly hassle,
he is rockin up above

now I believe he had to go
with undisputed class
loved to see his video
a beauty gothic lass

like a rebel and a rocker
suit was always new
he was singin like a talker
'bout all the stuff he knew

goodbye palmer, it's been nice
now you are in paradise
tried to see your point of view
now in heaven your dreams come true
goodbye Robert, glad you came
will we ever meet again,
some tomorrow, feel no shame,
now there's sorrow, here again

now some they rock and some they don't
and some they never will
and some will try, and some they won't
music was his thrill

had a flair for bad behaviour
and the video you see
and the dancing girls they gave you
addiction love for free

the music keeps on shinin
shining brand new,
Your life and times remind me
that rockers can be true..

goodbye palmer, it's been nice
now you are in paradise
tried to see your point of view
now in heaven your dreams come true
goodbye Robert, glad you came
will we ever meet again,
some tomorrow, feel no shame,
now there's sorrow, here again
