|
WALKING DOWN THE SIDEWALK ON A PURPLE AFTERNOON,
|
I WAS ACCOSTED BY A BARKER,
|
PLAYING A SIMPLE TUNE UPON HIS FLUTE, TOOT, TOOT, TOO, TOOT.
|
SILVER RAIN WAS FALLING DOWN
|
UPON THE DIRTY GROUND OF LONDON TOWN.
|
|
PEOPLE PASS ME BY ON MY IMAGINARY STREET,
|
ORDINARY PEOPLE, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO MEET.
|
HOLDING CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE ALWAYS INCOMPLETE,
|
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
|
OH, WHERE ARE THERE PLACES TO GO?
|
SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE HAS TO KNOW.
|
I DON'T KNOW.
|
|
OUT OF WORK AGAIN, THE ACTOR ENTERTAINS HIS WIFE,
|
WITH THE SAME OLD STORIES OF HIS ORDINARY LIFE.
|
MAYBE HE EXAGGERATES THE TROUBLE AND THE STRIFE,
|
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
|
OH, WHERE ARE THERE PLACES TO GO?
|
SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE HAS TO KNOW.
|
|
CRAWLING DOWN THE PAVEMENT ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON,
|
I WAS ARRESTED BY A ROZZER,
|
WEARING A PINK BALLOON ABOUT HIS FOOT, TOOT, TOOT, TOOT, TOOT.
|
SILVER RAIN WAS FALLING DOWN
|
UPON THE DIRTY GROUND OF LONDON TOWN.
|
|
OO-OO-OO-OO,
|
OO-OO-OO-OO,
|
OO-OO-OO-OO - OO.
|
SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE HAS TO KNOW.
|
|
SILVER RAIN WAS FALLING DOWN
|
UPON THE DIRTY GROUND OF LONDON TOWN.
