Holly |
| Holly made the rules |
| She laid down all the laws |
| Then broke the ones she made |
| Most folks would be afraid |
| To play the games that Holly played |
| When she was seventeen |
| She ran away from home |
| As fast as she could run |
| Said home was just no fun |
| There was an awful lot of doing to be done |
| Holly on a cloud in the sky |
| Way above the crowd flying high, ooh-ooh… |
| Holly on a cloud in the sky, yeah |
| Way above the crowd flying high |
| Holly made the scene |
| She’s gone to every place |
| She never should have been |
| Oh, but she was hanging in |
| Couldn’t tell her nothing then, no |
| Strangers in the night |
| Have paid a handsome price |
| To sleep in Holly’s bed |
| She couldn’t see that far ahead |
| To know that she’d become |
| One of the living dead |
| Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh-ooh… |
| Way above the crowd flying high, ooh-ooh… |
| Ooh-ooh-ooh… |
| Holly was confused |
| She did some things |
| That even she could no explain |
| Oh, but now she’s so in pain |
| The devil running through her veins |
| Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh-ooh… |
| Way above the crowd flying high |
| How could Holly make such a great mistake |
| To take that she could beat the rap |
| In just one fling, it never happened |
| Holly on a cloud in the sky, ooh, Holly |
| Way above the crowd flying high |
| Ooh-ooh-ooh… |
| Holly on a cloud in the sky |
| Ooh, life is passing by, yeah |
| Way above the crowd flying high |
| Ooh, life is passing by… |
