Lyrics

Lying in her bed a brick fell on her head
Plaster finally crumbled and dropped it's load
Oh oh
Now the building was condemned
Recycled, used again
The brick that smashed her brain is now a road in maine
When the pressure is way way down, the water comes out brown
It was on television they took her brain uptown
Fearing (peace?) would poison her, some abstract modern saint
A painting or a sculpture or a cultural restraint

Inner city spillover
Where the big time ticks
Royal rose's ovens, have to warm, what the furnace skips
Inner city spillover
Pop the scene
Inner city spillover
Isle of dreams
Inner city spillover
Workmen on the beam

Lying on her bed a brick fell on her head
You find the ace of hearts and win
It's easy man!
At a higher school of knowledge, they put her brain in college
Replacement parts and slippery cards will come around again

The writings on the wall
Statesmen say it all
With the art wars on and the colors crash long long before the fall
One out of these three cards will definitely up the odds
Find the red heart, red to win
Drop on in
Time out and time in all the suckers play it again by the broadway babies and the island men and the hotshots gamblin'
Inner city spillover
Pops and picks
Inner city spillover
Where the big time ticks
Inner city spillover
Isle of dreams
Inner city spillover
Workmen on the beam
Inner city spillover
Subway riders fight
Newsmen uncover more horrors to describe
Ok sweetheart, pull over, where'd you learn to drive?
Angels eye the people over, ai ai ai ai ai ai ai ai!

Inner city spillover
Where the big time ticks
Royal rose's ovens, have to warm, what the furnace skips
Inner city spillover
Pop the scene
Inner city spillover
Workmen on the beam
