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
