you can't hear entwistle strummin'
nor hear keith moon a-drummin'
i tell you...destroyed by death here, is this band
cause they moved in very dangerous directions
and the reaper made collections
i tell you...destroyed by death here, is this band

yeah, i really used to care
but its down to just a pair
i tell you...destroyed by death here, is this band
as a quartet, quite a staff
but now that's cut in half
i tell you...destroyed by death here, is this band

two of them...destroyed by death here
they're haunted...destroyed by death here
so long now...destroyed by death here, in this band
i see they're...destroyed by death here
they're gone now...destroyed by death here
so sad now...destroyed by death here, is this band

two of them still play
but its hollow, i gotta say
i tell you...destroyed by death here, is this band
with four, the sound was flowin'
but one by one, they're goin'
i tell you...destroyed by death here, is this band

there's the writer of the songs
and the singer tags along
i tell you...destroyed by death here, is this band
once the biggest in their prime
decimated over time
they're gone now...destroyed by death here, is this band
hey hey hey hey hey hey
yeah, half of them are long gone !

so long now...destroyed by death here, is this band
i see they're...destroyed by death here
half of them are long gone !
hey hey...destroyed by death here, is this band
