Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me
|
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
|
Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me
|
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
|
|
[Verse]
|
Fleet of black, fleet of black limousines
|
These tinted machines, here comes the cavalcade
|
|
With the armored cars, armored cars like berettas
|
Flags on antennaes designed to keep me safe, keep me safe
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And oh my my oh hey hey
|
Here he comes, the candidate
|
Blue eyed boy, united states
|
Vote for him, the candidate
|
|
[Verse]
|
Diamonds cut, diamonds cut for the carrots
|
Plaster of paris, the floats fill up the street
|
|
And the beauty queens, beauty queens with the white gloves
|
All sick from the night clubs, they wave with pageantry, pageantry
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Oh my my oh hey hey
|
Here it comes, the big parade
|
Marching bands and barricades
|
Make way, for the big parade
|
|
[Bridge]
|
|
[Verse]
|
Canvas covered, canvas covered in resin
|
The violent men who dance the blood ballet
|
And the bookies say, bookies say it's the 3rd round
|
Oh when louie will go down, if he don't there's hell to pay, and hell to raise
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And oh my my oh hey hey
|
Here he comes, the welterweight
|
Take a dive, for goodness sake
|
Or say goodbye to the welterweight
|
|
[Verse]
|
Catholic priest, catholic priest in a crisis
|
He's torn between romance and jesus, who will win the civil war
|
|
And he says I'm in love, I'm in love with a woman
|
Yea this is my confession, I'm leaving I can't a priest anymore, anymore
|
|
[Chorus]
|
And oh my my oh hey hey
|
There he goes, the man of faith
|
|
Left the church for a fiance
|
Let him love, the man of faith
|
|
[Bridge]
|
|
[Verse]
|
T.v. cameras, t.v. cameras and stage hands
|
American bandstand, electric guitars
|
|
And he's singin songs, singin songs for the lonely
|
All the girls with the room keys, they know all his words by heart, by heart and they all sing
|
|
[Interlude]
|
Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me
|
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
|
Lovely girl won't you stay, won't you stay, stay with me
|
All my life I was blind, I was blind, now I see
|
|
Lovely girl won't you stay, oh oh ohoh
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Oh my my oh hey hey
|
Here she comes by saving grace
|
Burn the car and save the plates
|
She's arrived, my saving grace
|
