Last Days of an Empire |
Hey wait for me! |
The young man cried aloud, |
Running across the street, |
he couldn’t find the crowd. |
The streets were paved with garbage |
The size of motor cars, |
While businessmen were drinking cocktails somewere, |
Laced with caviar. |
Meanwhile in a basement, |
I am listening to the rain, |
thinking about the day going by. |
And wasn’t it a shame, I let the kettle boil dry. |
And I forgot to buy myself a TV guide. |
The last days of an empire |
Can be the first rays of hope |
Last days of an empire |
Can be the first rays of hope |
I saw and heard the news today, fifteen times or more. |
It helped me keep informed all day |
Of what’s going on outside my door. |
I read the papers in between the bulletins on the radio and TV. |
I didn’t have to move an inch, |
I felt as solid as a tree. |
I looked out of my basement window, |
At a cat lying fast asleep. |
The street looked like the aftermath |
And the sky was turning grey. |
The crowd had moved on somewhere else — |
The young man talked to a garbage heap. |
As I looked down at my feet, |
I felt nothing left to say, |
but then, the last days of an empire |
Can be the first rays of hope |
Last days of an empire |
Can be the first rays of hope |
Last days of an empire |
Can be the first rays of hope |
Last days of an empire |
Can be the first rays of hope |
