Lyrics
there?s a revolution on these quiet streets
young man in a black beret makes a party speech
and the sky runs red as the sidewalk swells
beats its aching drum, casts its violent spells
say goodbye I say goodbye
I?m lost to you now this is the time that has no end
well the chaos churns through the barroom glass
they beat the tourist put his name on the map
you can blame the doctrine, you can blame the greed
you can put the blame on me and I can blame my need
lend me your cheek, lend me your ear
lend me your neck again my dear
say goodbye I say goodbye
I?m lost to you now this is the time that has no end
