X-ray Style |
| I see a million walk the city mile |
| The ticker tape kings and the juveniles |
| Will anybody tell me which way to go? |
| Will anybody come back on the C.B. radio? |
| I’m counting the stars and the telegraph poles |
| And each one represents the hopes of a soul |
| You’d think that God wouldn’t be so hard |
| When you see all the little children running, running in the backyard |
| On a Mississippi gourd with a Sub-Saharan song |
| Somebody is wailing in the financial district sun |
| Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile? |
| I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile |
| Gonna make like Eddie on my rockabilly train |
| Gonna beat out the blues on my ball and chain |
| Oh, you can’t pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun |
| There’s people living now, who ain’t got no heart |
| And ain’t never had none |
| Down on the border they crawl all the way |
| To get a clip of living with a clean-all spray |
| Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile? |
| I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile |
| You can’t pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun |
| There’s people living now, who ain’t got no heart |
| And ain’t never had none |
| I hear a pay phone ringing out on murder mile |
| The sucker who picks up gets his number dialed |
| And all the sparkling waters that ever flowed |
| Could never wash down this town so clean that it glowed |
| And I need to see in an X-Ray style |
| I need some rock art that don’t come in a vial |
| Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile? |
| I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile |
