We built the buildings of the new city
|
Out of the broken down peoples
|
And we built the new languages
|
Out of courtesy and velocity
|
Somebody got to have propulsion
|
Push the envelope
|
|
Extra, extra - read all about it
|
Common sense makes a comeback
|
Extra, extra - late in the distant city
|
There are seventeen burned out cars in the valley
|
And, "Boom," goes the refinery
|
Where do nomads go when the Dow Jones falls too low
|
Crazy world
|
Lee says forty nine
|
|
We tried to get across the river
|
Ringo, Bobo, el numero - holy cow
|
At Leek town hall tonight
|
Get me a taxi, godamn
|
Take me to a reggae city
|
|
I'm always reporting for you
|
In the dangerous bureau
|
This is McNally, badge forty-nine, calling in
|
I'm with Mike Flynn
|
Taxi, godamn
|
Ringo
