Lyrics
Chamois cleaning all the windows Singing songs about edith piaf's soul And I hear blue strings of "no regredior" Across the street from cathedral notre dame
Meanwhile back in san francisco I try hard to make this whole thing blend As we sit upon this jagged story block With you my friend
And it's a long way to buffalo It's a long way to belfast city too And I'm hoping that joyce won't blow the hoist 'Cause this time, they bit off more than they can chew
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Saint dominic's preview Saint dominic's preview Saint dominic's preview
All the orange boxes are scattered Against the safeway supermarket in the rain And everybody feels so determined Not to feel anyone else's pain
No one's making no commitments To anybody but themselves Talkin' behind closed doorways Tryin' to get outside, get outside empty shells
And for every cross-cuttin' country corner For every hank williams railroad train that cries And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems And every strain on brain and every eye (?)
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Saint dominic's preview Saint dominic's preview Saint dominic's preview
And the restaurant tables are completely covered The record company has paid out for the wine You got everything in the world you ever wanted Right about now your face should wear a smile
That's the way it all should happen When you're in, when you're in the state you're in; Have you got your pen and notebook ready? I think it's about time, time for us to begin
And we're over in a 52nd street apartment Socializing with the winos too Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set But they're flying too high to see my point of view
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Saint dominic's preview Saint dominic's preview Saint dominic's preview
See them freedom marching Out on the street, freedom marching
