歌曲歌詞
The streets are doing a war dance
As their sight is restored to the blind
And I'm sifting trash on the offchance
That there might be something to find
And Mary lets her fingers do the walking
Her baby's nearly due
She's listening but no one's talking
At the citizen's advice bureau
And joe is down on the dole queue
He should have signed on yesterday
Even if he was a carpenter and she was his
Lady
He still wouldn't be able to make it pay
No
And he don't believe in angels
She's been seeing another man
Infidelity runs in the family
But that wasn't a part of the plan
And shepherds watch the flicks by night
At the king's 'cross all night show
So much trying to catch their eyes
But they're too grossed out to know
And the three kings travel like three ships a sailing
They've got some gifts he'll need
Coc*ine for sniffing money for corruption and a whole load
Of videos of I love lucy
But the king of the country he's getting frightened
He doesn't want to be somebody man's pawn
And he crushes the beer can between his hands
He sees his fate the clown yells checkmate
And another star is born
But the baby is killed in an instant
As though his whole life were a dream
Though his book sells well and he pulls out the
Stops
Everyone knows he's a hyped up hasbeen
And the t shirts just embarrass
And thought become memories after a while
He's looking so much older now
It's hard to belive that that was style
And he throws his cloak out to his fan
It's his last chance sacrifice
The girls are crawling a cut glass sea
No one even wants to look twice
'Cos the circle's all but full now
But the stalls are empty for the latest son
Who just smiles and says
Give my regards to fleet street I've gotta run
I've gotta run
Oh get it
The streets are doing a war dance
As their sight is restored to the blind
And I'm sifting trash on the offchance
That there might be something to find
The streets are doing a war
Are doing a war
Are doing a war
