Bristol And Miami |
Cafe on the corner peeling painted sign |
Water in he vinegar and it never changes to wine |
Causing no fuss just smoking inside |
Heavy light bursts in and the shadows rush to hide |
Then Bristol caught fire |
Smell of burning in the air |
Everybody listening to the reggae jukebox singer singing |
Sing on, sing on |
Listen to the echo of the street |
Sing on, sing on |
Listen to the echo of the street |
Four thousand miles to the west |
People only take so much |
When surrounded by the best they want to reach out and touch |
Miami beach hot and lazy |
Sun a yellow ball of light |
Hiding invisible men living in a world of white |
Bristol and Miami |
Where’s it gonna be tomorrow |
Anytime, anywhere |
It’s only time we borrow |
Sun beat down, hot heavy afternoon |
Hurricane swept the town, and didn’t finish so soon |
Black smiles thrown in the dust |
Replaced by anger |
White grins begin to rust when |
They’re looking in the face of danger |
Then Miami caught fire |
Smell of burning in the air |
Everybody listening to the reggae jukebox singer singing |
Sing on, sing on |
Listen to the echo of the street |
Sing on, sing on |
Listen to the echo of the street |
Black man singing in the heat of the night |
Broken dreams just fly away |
Everybody listening to the reggae jukebox singer singing |
Sing on, sing on |
Listen to the echo of the street |
Sing on, sing on |
Listen to the echo of the street |
Black man singing in the heat of the night |
Broken dreams just fly away |
