At A Theater Near You |
LyricsAT A THEATER NEAR YOUivory tower out o' sight sin and soot color it night dark clouds whispering shrouds of fate From Harlem to Bedford Stuy Oklahoma City Dynamite it all gets in your face it was somebody else's body (and now it's yours) it was somebody else's baby (and now it's yours) big buck bombs, bad charms armchair philosopher's call to arms so far away heavy air haze from another place dangerous games we play these days and it's getting late you don't have to go so far, you don't have to go... so far. you don't have to drive your car as you turn your head everything said is clear. what used to be there is here in plain view Now Showin At a Theater Near You. downtown's up n uptown's down no highway's gonna get you out o' town. there's no easy escape jungle thick alive with cries trixie on the corner sellin her lies to some poor ape. too close for comfort too close to home bag lady sleepin naked under the dome can't take her home but ya don't wanna leave her alone All those things you thought you'd never see All those things you thought there'd never be well now you're there 'n' it ain't through Now Showin Now Showin At a Theatre Near You. all those things you thought you'd never do all those things you thought were to taboo lost inside some dream come true...you come to At a Theatre Near You. When how much pain I can withstand becomes the test of how strong a man I am when all you have to give is gone and all that's left is your sacrificial lamb you won't have to go so far you don't have to drive your car ya just turn your head lost inside some dream come true you come to Now Showin...At a Theatre Near You. |
