Late news breakin', this just in
|
Tonight there was a power cut in the city of madness
|
And all conversations died in the burst of a solar flare
|
In the darkness an angel won the beauty pagent
|
Stroboscopic snowflakes fell from the stratosphere
|
And all the neon blew down funky Broadway
|
And shorted out the eastern shore
|
Only saxophones and beach trombones
|
Were left to shout out, "We all need a little more."
|
|
I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun
|
Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
|
We're waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun
|
Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun
|
Has anybody seen the morning sun
|
|
I'm lost in a world beyond the lost city
|
I'm looking for a phone and I cant find one
|
Gotta Tony Bennett eight track in the hotel pity
|
The moon turned around and shot someone
|
I'm lost in a mack truck, Jack, in the city of words
|
Only dead men stomp on the brake pedals in the city of nerves
|
Sow me some reaps, Jack, I'm dead on the heap
|
Show me some glycerine, Mac, downhill is so steep
|
|
I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun
|
Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
|
We're waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun
|
Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun
|
Has anybody seen the morning sun
|
|
Late news breakin', this just in
|
Late news breakin', this just in
|
|
The whole city is a debris of broken heels and party hats
|
I'm standing on the corner that's on a fold on the map
|
I lost my friends at the deportee station
|
I'll take immigration into any nation
|
|
I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun
|
Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
|
Waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun
|
Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun
|
Has anybody seen the morning sun
|
Has the new world begun
|
|
Who is that screaming in Lunar Park
|
If they make Tony Adams captain
|
We could all go screaming in Lunar Park
|
I say yes, oh, yes - you should check it out
|
Check it out, yeah, check it out
|
Check it out, check it out
|
