Joe Strummer The Mescaleros Tony Adams Lyrics

Tony Adams Lyrics

Late news breakin', this just in



Tonight there was a power cut in the city of madness 



And all conversations died in the burst of a solar flare 



In the darkness an angel won the beauty pagent 



Stroboscopic snowflakes fell from the stratosphere



And all the neon blew down funky Broadway 



And shorted out the eastern shore 



Only saxophones and beach trombones 



Were left to shout out, "We all need a little more."







I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun 



Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun



Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum



We're waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun



Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun



Has anybody seen the morning sun







I'm lost in a world beyond the lost city



I'm looking for a phone and I cant find one 



Gotta Tony Bennett eight track in the hotel pity 



The moon turned and shot someone 



I'm lost in a mack truck, Jack, in the city of words 



Only dead men stomp on the brake pedals in the city of nerves



Sow me some reaps, Jack, I'm dead on the heap 



Show me some glycerine, Mac, downhill is so steep 







I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun 



Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun



Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum



We're waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun



Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun



Has anybody seen the morning sun







Late news breakin', this just in



Late news breakin', this just in







The whole city is a debris of broken heels and party hats



I'm standing on the corner that's on a fold on the map 



I lost my friends at the deportee station 



I'll take immigration into any nation 







I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun 



Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun



Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum



Waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun



Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun



Has anybody seen the morning sun



Has the new world begun







Who is that screaming in Lunar Park



If they make Tony Adams captain 



We could all go screaming in Lunar Park



I say yes, oh, yes - you should check it out



Check it out, yeah, check it out



Check it out, check it out
