Bee girl, you're gonna die. You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy. Do your dances alone in your room. Becoming a star will become your doom. Bee Girl, be a girl. Bee Girl, be a girl.
You know time is long, and life is short. Begin to live while you still can. Believe in nothing, believe me, Those who can be trusted can change their mind. When the anxious is the present, unwrap your gifts, take your time. Everything you imagine needn't be stuck in your mind. Bee Girl, be a girl. Bee Girl, be a girl.

So all you fools Who sing just like him Feel free to do so now Because he's dead
Using, using, using The using takes toll Isolation Just so happy to be one Sad to, sad to think Sad to think of him all alone
Lonesome friend, we all knew Always hoped you'd pull through
No blame, no blame No blame, it could be you Using, you can't grow old using
So sing just like him, fuckers It won't offend him Just me Because he's dead
4/20/02. This song was written by Eddie Vedder (the singer of the band Pearl Jam) after hearing the news of Layne's death.
PEARL JAM star EDDIE VEDDER has written a song about the death of ALICE IN CHAINS singer LAYNE STALEY - but it may never see the light of day. Staley, who was 34, was discovered at his apartment in the University district of Seattle earlier this year (April 19) after police were called when nobody had seen him for a number of weeks. He died of a drugs overdose.
Alongside Nirvana and Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains were at the forefront of the mid-'90s grunge scene out of Seattle.
Staley was a founding member of the group with guitarist Jerry Cantrell, and had a well-documented battle with drugs throughout his career.
According to the official Pearl Jam website, Vedder has written the track, but it won't feature on their forthcoming album 'Riot Act', released in November. The posting says that the song will "probably not be released".
