| Tonight there was a power cut in the city of madness
|
| And all conversations died in the burst of the solar flare
|
| In the darkness an angel won the beauty pageant
|
| Stroboscopic snowflakes fell from the stratosphere
|
| And all the neon blew down funky Broadway
|
| And shorted out the eastern shore
|
| Only saxophones and beach trombones
|
| Were left to shout out «we all need a little more»
|
| I’m waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
| Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun?
|
| Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
|
| We’re waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
| Hey, the morning sun
|
| Whoa, the morning sun
|
| Hey hey, the morning sun
|
| Has anybody seen the morning sun?
|
| I’m lost in a world beyond the lost city
|
| I’m looking for a phone and I can’t find one
|
| Got a Tony Bennett eight-track in the hotel, pity
|
| The moon turned around and shot someone
|
| I’m lost in a mack truck, Jack, in the city of words
|
| Only dead men stomp on the brake pedals in the city of nerves
|
| Sow me some reaps, Jack, I’m dead on the heap
|
| Show me some glycerine, Mack, downhill is so steep
|
| I’m waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
| Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun?
|
| Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
|
| We’re waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
| Hey, the morning sun
|
| Whoa, the morning sun
|
| Hey hey, the morning sun
|
| Has anybody seen the morning sun?
|
| Late news breakin', this just in
|
| Late news breakin', this just in
|
| The whole city is a debris of broken heels and party hats
|
| I’m standing on the corner that’s on a fold on the map
|
| I lost my friends at the deportee station
|
| I’ll take immigration into any nation
|
| I’m waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
| Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun?
|
| Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
|
| We’re waiting for the rays of the morning sun
|
| Hey, the morning sun
|
| Whoa, the morning sun
|
| Hey hey, the morning sun
|
| Has anybody seen the morning sun? |
