Lyrics
0:00Lovely girl won't you stay won't you stay stay with me
0:06All my life I was blind I was blind now I see
0:12Lovely girl won't you stay won't you stay stay with me
0:18All my life I was blind I was blind now I see
0:30Fleet of black fleet of black limousines
0:36All tinted machines here comes cavalcade
0:46With the armored cars armored cars like berettas
0:53Flags on antennas designed to keep me safe keep me safe
1:01And oh my my oh hey hey
1:04Here he comes the candidate
1:08Blue eyed boy united states
1:10Vote for him the candidate
1:16Diamonds cut diamonds cut for the carrots
1:23Plaster of paris the floats fill up the street
1:31And the beauty queens beauty queens with the white gloves
1:38All sick from the night clubs
1:41They wave with pageantry pageantry
1:47And oh my my oh hey hey
1:50Here it comes the big parade
1:53Marching bands and barricades
1:56Make way for the big parade
1:59Oh oh oh
2:12Canvas covered canvas covered in resin
2:18The violent men who dance the blood ballet
2:27And the bookies say bookies say it's the 3rd round
2:33Oh when louie will go down if he don't
2:38There's hell to pay and hell to raise
2:42And oh my my oh hey hey
2:46Here he comes the welterweight
2:49Take a dive for goodness sake
2:51Or say goodbye to the welterweight
2:58Catholic priest catholic priest in a crisis
3:03Torn between romance and jesus who will win the civil war
3:12And he says I'm in love I'm in love with a woman
3:19Yeah this is my confession
3:21I'm leaving I can't be a priest anymore anymore
3:29Oh my my oh hey hey
3:31There he goes the man of faith
3:34Left the church for a fiance
3:37Let him love the man of faith
3:41Oh oh oh
4:00American bandstand electric guitars
4:08And he's singing songs singing songs for the lonely
4:15All the girls with the room keys
4:18They know all his words by heart
4:21By heart
4:24Lovely girl won't you stay won't you stay stay with me
4:30All my life I was blind I was blind now I see
