|
I come from a long way away |
|
And i know a fine thing when i see it. |
|
See it |
|
For the same reason no one ever |
|
Pointed a telescope at the sun |
|
Talking about the red angels of new york city |
|
Chorus |
|
Who shot the shot? |
|
Who got shot tonite? |
|
Not even five enforcement agencies can save their own. |
|
Never mind the people |
|
Tonite it's raining on the angels of the city |
|
Did anyone prophesize these people? |
|
Only travis |
|
Come in travis |
|
One of these days i'm gonna get myself organized. |
|
All the animals come out at night. |
|
Queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick venal. |
|
Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets. |
|
Thank god for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk. listen you screwheads: |
|
Here is a man who would not take it anymore. |
|
A man who stood up against the scum, the filth. |
|
Now i see clearly. |
|
Personally i know the alley |
|
Where jack feeds on the birds of night |
|
Not even bubbies on bicycles 2x2 |
|
Can stop the blood and feathers flying |
|
Waring overalls and for once and for all |
|
What is the dream? |
|
I'll tell it |
|
To live like they do in the movies |
|
San juan you listening? |
|
Yeah i bet you are |
|
Hands up for hollywood |
|
Hooray |
|
I hear you |
|
Snappy on the air |
|
Hang in their |
|
Wall to wall |
|
You saved the worled |
|
What else? you saved the girl |
|
Chmpagne on ice |
|
No stranger to alcatraz |
|
To boot |
|
Or strip it down |
|
Chop it a little |
|
Being reasonable |
|
Just freedom to move |
|
To live |
|
For women to take a walk in the park at midnite |
|
Hey, but this is serious |
|
She can't even get back home |
|
I come from a long way off |
|
And i know a lifegiver over a lifetaker |
|
For the same reason no-one ever pointed |
|
A gun at a policeman |
|
Talking about the red angels of new york city |
|
Yeah |
