Can You HEAR Me? |
Signal fading |
Listen to what I’m saying |
Can you hear me? |
Can you hear me? |
Testing, testing |
Can you hear me? |
This better be worth all of the breath I’m wasting |
Hear him coming through loud and clear |
Hear him treacling in your ear |
Well, you know your time has come |
And you’re sorry for what you’ve done |
All you gangsters |
You should have never have been playing with a gun |
Can you hear me? |
Can you hear me? |
Hear him coming through loud and clear |
Hear him treacling in your ear |
Next week there’ll be some fashionable new sin |
For each harlot and each puritan |
Pull off their wings, stick 'em on a pin |
Can you hear me? |
And just let the money roll in |
Can you hear me? |
Signal fading |
Listen to what I’m saying |
Can you hear me? |
Can you hear me? |
Testing, testing |
Can you hear me? |
This better be worth all of the breath I’m wasting |
Hear him coming through loud and clear |
Hear him treacling in your ear |
There’s a line that you must toe |
And it’s time for you to go |
All you gangsters |
It’s darker than you know |
Can you hear me? |
Hear him coming through loud and clear |
Hear him treacling in your ear |
The hands of the helpless are raised |
Your dead little secrets are praised |
The people stand dumbstruck and dazed |
Can you hear me? |
By the inches that you have erased |
Hear him treacling in your ear |
Do those drug dealer still polish women made of wax |
Can you hear me? |
Can you hear me? |
Gangsters and world leaders |
Require the same protection from attack |
Can you hear me? |
Can you hear me? |
Libraries filled up with failed ideas |
There’s nothing more for me there |
I trust in tender ink and gentle airs |
Tape starts running |
He’s going to tell you something |
Can you hear me? |
Can you hear me? |
Strings start strumming |
Another humdrum conundrum… |
Hear him coming through loud and clear |
Hear him treacling in your ear |
Barricaded in the talk radio station |
Hostage taken |
Can you hear me |
The red «On-Air"light shines on |
Can you hear me? |
Can you hear me? |
All you gangsters |
So pay the ransom |
Before the run-out groove |
Hear him coming through loud and clear |
Hear him treacling in your ear |
Get my wife down here |
A helicopter on the roof |
No police marksman |
Maintaining radio silence from now on |
Signal fading |
Listen to what I’m saying |
Mystery voices drowned out by too much choice |
Testing, testing |
Maintaining radio silence |
