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 |
