Don McLean - Magdalene Lane Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The angels are lost in the city of stars
  • Wise men are down on their knees
  • And the Fruitman of Freeway will sell you his cars
  • When he's sure that you can't find the keys
  • And the ladies on Magdalene Lane
  • All worship the sun and the sand
  • And the migrants who come can't complain
  • For this is their promised land
  • MGM studios can't make the nut
  • They're auctioning Dorothy's shoes
  • Gable is gone, the good witch is a slut
  • And I've got the parking-lot blues
  • The wizard brought benzedrine smiles
  • And he never let Dorothy doze
  • Ha- she died as she walked down the aisle
  • And all that remains is her clothes
  • Over the rainbow a Kansas tornado
  • Can twist up a little girl's head
  • Aunt Em's on relief and the tin man's a thief
  • And even the wizard can't wake the dead
  • The prophet has come to the kingdom of lights
  • But there's no one to listen or learn
  • And the saviour performs for the prophet's delight
  • While dissenters are banished or burned
  • And the heretics beg to be heard
  • But the saviour's on tour for the week
  • Salvation is found in his word
  • If only he'd learn how to speak!
  • And Lincoln is laughing with Amos and Andy
  • Concerning the great Civil War
  • And Paul Revere sleeps with the worst-looking creeps
  • While revolution's knocking at his door
  • Magdalene Lane is the red-light domain
  • Where everyone's soul is for sale
  • A piece of your heart will do for a start
  • You can send us the rest in the mail
  • For we have our own families to feed
  • And we can't let them starve just for you
  • But we'd rather not watch while you bleed
  • So come back in an hour when you're through
  • It's just another city full of sorrow
  • Makes no differ
