Lyrics

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 Come in, Travis "All the animals come out at night Queens, fairies, dopers, 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?) the city knows "Thank god for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk Listen you screwheads, 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 bicycling (two-by-two) can stop the blood and feathers flying (Who got shot tonight?) (Who got shot tonight?) (Who got shot tonight?) Wearing 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 there, wall to wall You saved the world, what else, you saved the girl Chmpagne on ice, no stranger to Alcatraz to boot Or strip it down, chop it a little Being reasonable Just freedom to move, to live 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 the shot that popped the cop that chopped the cop and made him drop? "One of these days, I'm gonna get myself organizized"
