Tonight there was a power cut in the city of madness 

All conversations died in the burst of a solar flare 

In the darkness an angel won the beauty pagent 

And 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!



And 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 

Has anybody seen the morning sun? 



I'm lost in a world, beyond 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 so steep 

And im 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 

Has anybody seen the morning sun? 



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

I'm standing on the corner, thats on a fold on the map 

I lost my friends at the deportee station 

I'll take immigration into any nation 



And im 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 

Has anybody seen the morning sun?
