Stand In Line Lyrics - Impellitteri

Standing like a statue waiting for the train 

In front of the cigarette vendor 

Slicking back his hair looking at the machine 

Reflecting like a mirror 

Pulling up his collar to avoid the breeze 

Of the oncoming bullet 

Taking inventory of the things he needs, 

He's checking out his wallet 

Standing before our eyes straight and tall 

*Here comes your hero, stand in line, 

Straight as an arrow, stand in line 

The mother's son, as perfect as his pompadour 

A Spanish-American lover 

Heading from the East into West LA 

He has to dance La Bamba 

So sophisticated is the French cologne 

He borrowed from his father 

Just another pistol, waiting for someone 

To come and pull the trigger 

So let his bullet fly through the air... 

He'll take you home, stand in line, 

If you deserve him, stand in line 

(Repeat *) 

That perfect stranger, stand in line 

IF you deserve him, stand in line 

(Repeat *)
