rate me

I come from a long way away<br>And I know a fine thing when I see it.<br>See it<br>For the same reason no one ever<br>Pointed a telescope at the sun<br>Talking about the red angels of new york city<br><br>Chorus<br>Who shot the shot? <br>Who got shot tonite? <br><br>Not even five enforcement agencies can save their own.<br>Never mind the people<br>Tonite it's raining on the angels of the city<br>Did anyone prophesize these people? <br><br>Only travis<br>Come in travis<br>One of these days I'm gonna get myself organized.<br><br>All the animals come out at night.<br>Queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick venal.<br>Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.<br><br>Thank God for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk. listen you screwheads:<br>Here is a man who would not take it anymore.<br>A man who stood up against the scum, the filth.<br>Now I see clearly.<br><br>Personally I know the alley<br>Where jack feeds on the birds of night<br>Not even bubbies on bicycles 2x2<br>Can stop the blood and feathers flying<br><br>Waring overalls and for once and for all<br>What is the dream? <br>I'll tell it<br>To live like they do in the movies<br>San juan you listening? <br><br>Yeah I bet you are<br>Hands up for hollywood<br>Hooray<br>I hear you<br>Snappy on the air<br>Hang in their<br>Wall to wall<br>You saved the worled<br>What else? you saved the girl<br>Chmpagne on ice<br>No stranger to alcatraz<br>To boot<br>Or strip it down<br>Chop it a little<br>Being reasonable<br>Just freedom to move<br>To live<br>For women to take a walk in the park at midnite<br>Hey, but this is serious<br>She can't even get back home<br><br>I come from a long way off<br>And I know a lifegiver over a lifetaker<br>For the same reason no-one ever pointed<br>A gun at a policeman<br>Talking about the red angels of new york city<br>Yeah
