It was midnight, midnight at noon Everyone talked in rhyme Everyone saw
the big clock tick-in', Nobody knew, nobody knew the time Elegant
dbutantes smiled Everyone fought for dimes Newspapers screamed for
blood It was the best of times
Every place around the world, it
seemed the same Can't hear the rhythm for the drums Everybody wants to
look the other way When something wicked this way comes
Sometimes
they tie a thief to the tree Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's
me
Everyone told the truth All that we heard were lies A Pope
claimed that he'd been wrong in the past This was a big surprise Nobody
knew the time Everyone fell in love A Cardinal's wife was jailed The
government saved a dying planet When popular icons failed
Every place
around the world it seemed the same Can't hear the rhythm for the
drums Everybody wants to look the other way When something wicked this
way comes
Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree Sometimes I stare,
sometimes it's me Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me
