Sting - Jeremiah Blues Lyrics
It was midnight, midnight at noonEveryone talked in rhymeEveryone saw the big clock tickingNobody knew, nobody knew the timeElegant debutantes smiledEveryone fought for dimesNewspapers screamed for bloodIt was the best of timesEvery place around the world it seemed the sameCan't hear the rhythm for the drumsEverybody wants to look the other wayWhen something wicked this way comesSometimes they tie a thief to the treeSometimes I stareSometimes it's meEveryone told the truthAll that we heard were liesA pope claimed that he'd been wrong in the pastThis was a big surpriseEveryone fell in loveA cardinal's wife was jailedThe government saved a dying planetWhen popular icons failedEvery place around the world it seemed the sameCan't hear the rhythm for the drumsEverybody wants to look the other wayWhen something wicked this way comesSometimes they tie a thief to the treeSometimes I stareSometimes it's meSometimes I stareSometimes it's me
