Tony Adams Lyrics - Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

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 pageant 

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 glycerin, 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 

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? 

Has the new world begun? 

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
