0:10I come from a long way away
0:16And I know a fine thing when I see it see it
0:23For the same reason no one ever pointed a telescope at the sun
0:30Talking about the Red Angels of N Y City
0:38Who shot the shot
0:40Who got shot tonight
0:44Who shot the shot
0:47Who got shot tonight
0:52Not even five enforcement agencies can save their own
0:58Never mind the people
1:01Tonight it's raining on the angels of the city
1:04(Who got shot tonight )
1:06Did anyone prophesize these people
1:10Only Travis(Who got shot tonight )
1:13Come in Travis
1:15All the animals come out at night
1:18Queens fairies dopestrs junkies sick venal
1:22(Who got shot tonight )
1:23Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets
1:29(Who got shot tonight )
1:40Thank God for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk
1:44Listen you screw-heads here is a man who would not take it anymore
1:49A man who stood up against the scum the filth
1:53Now I see clearly
1:55Personally I know the alley
1:58Where Jack feeds on the birds of night
2:01Not even Bubbies bicycles two by two
2:04Can stop the blood and feathers flying
2:07Who got shot tonight
2:11Who got shot tonight
2:18Who got shot tonight
2:29Waring overalls and for once and for all
2:33What is the dream I'll tell it
2:36To live like they do in the movies
2:39San Juan you listening Yeah I bet you are
2:45Hands up for Hollywood hooray I hear you
2:50Snappy on the air hang in their wall to wall
2:53You saved the world what else
2:55You saved the girl
2:56Champagne on ice
2:57No stranger to Alcatraz to boot
3:00Or strip it down chop it a little
3:03Being reasonable just freedom to move to live
3:06(Who got shot tonight )
3:07For women to take a walk in the park at midnight
3:10(Who got shot tonight )
3:11Hey but this is serious
3:12She can't even get back home
3:15(Who got shot tonight )
3:20Who shot that
I come from a long way away And I know a fine thing when I see it see it For the same reason no one ever pointed a telescope at the sun Talking about the Red Angels of N Y City Who shot the shot Who got shot tonight Who shot the shot Who got shot tonight Not even five enforcement agencies can save their own Never mind the people Tonight it's raining on the angels of the city (Who got shot tonight ) Did anyone prophesize these people Only Travis(Who got shot tonight ) Come in Travis All the animals come out at night Queens fairies dopestrs junkies sick venal (Who got shot tonight ) Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets (Who got shot tonight ) Thank God for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk Listen you screw-heads here is a man who would not take it anymore A man who stood up against the scum the filth Now I see clearly Personally I know the alley Where Jack feeds on the birds of night Not even Bubbies bicycles two by two Can stop the blood and feathers flying Who got shot tonight Who got shot tonight Who got shot tonight Waring overalls and for once and for all What is the dream I'll tell it To live like they do in the movies San Juan you listening Yeah I bet you are Hands up for Hollywood hooray I hear you Snappy on the air hang in their wall to wall You saved the world what else You saved the girl Champagne on ice No stranger to Alcatraz to boot Or strip it down chop it a little Being reasonable just freedom to move to live (Who got shot tonight ) For women to take a walk in the park at midnight (Who got shot tonight ) Hey but this is serious She can't even get back home (Who got shot tonight ) Who shot that
