[00:39.020]Last night I dreamed
[00:40.875]I's a lonely tramp...
[00:43.180]And on the road I met one
[00:45.221]Of my dear old friends.
[00:47.429]His giant boat shoes
[00:49.529]And black, baggy trousers
[00:51.996]Were topped by a funny hat,
[00:54.225]Cane and moustache...
[00:55.790]I said “Hi Charlie,
[00:58.752]What are you doing here?”
[01:00.698]He said “I don't really know -
[01:02.874]I ain't never seen that place before
[01:04.895]In my whole life;
[01:06.912]But it looks like a mixture
[01:08.966]'Tween Hell and Paradise...
[01:12.785]
[01:13.313]While we were talking
[01:15.129]'Bout the good ol' times
[01:17.242]We came 'cross a junction -
[01:19.282]Heard the ringing of chimes:
[01:21.519]We saw skyscraping buildings
[01:23.671]With hundreds of millions
[01:25.627]We saw thousands of streets
[01:27.642]Fenced by green plastic trees...
[01:30.010]Well some of these people
[01:31.887]Were teeming just like ants -
[01:34.224]Whereas some of them equalled
[01:36.202]Tamed elephants.
[01:38.224]Well, some of these people
[01:40.297]Were enjoying very cruel games
[01:42.382]Letting them others
[01:44.567]Have all the blames...
[01:47.994]
[02:25.346]We just looked at each other
[02:27.477]Wonderin' what's this all about
[02:29.686]"Well, that ain't no problem -
[02:31.631]Let's go and find out!"
[02:33.738]So we proudly marched towards
[02:35.818]These frightening huge towers
[02:37.866]Built as high as the clouds
[02:40.100]And a smell of dead flowers
[02:41.635]
[02:42.115]The first one we met there
[02:44.043]Was a young girl with red bair
[02:46.129]And curls looking very nice
[02:48.292]Her we asked for advice.
[02:50.391]She's just looking through us
[02:52.513]As if we were plain air -
[02:56.442]She just didn't care…
[02:58.896]
[02:59.148]We both were bewildered,
[03:00.808]Friend Charlie and I,
[03:02.825]And turned towards a grown-up man
[03:04.975]With a gray suit and tie.
[03:06.888]Charles put him a question;
[03:09.144]Something like "Hey, good friend,
[03:11.478]Could you please tell us
[03:13.283]The name of this land?
[03:15.363]'S if nothing had happened
[03:17.328]He sternly walked past us
[03:19.543]Not a single frown his face did show
[03:23.646]While he took the elevator
[03:28.860]To the eleventh floor…
[03:31.470]
[04:26.274]Well, Charlie and I
[04:28.204]Felt the same disillusion.
[04:30.209]Back out on the street
[04:32.191]We couldn't cope with confusion
[04:34.382]Any longer. No more
[04:36.345]We could bear like before
[04:38.419]To stare into faces
[04:40.543]Carved out of stone...
[04:42.102]
[04:42.523]Puzzled by this labyrinth
[04:44.654]We felt quite alone
[04:46.586]So we're desparately trying
[04:48.727]To find our way home.
[04:50.779]And we came 'cross a junction -
[04:53.065]Heard the ringing of chimes again -
[04:56.264]Again and again and again
[04:59.729]Then we saw the church standing
[05:02.021]Directly on the edge of town
[05:04.379]There's a sign on the front gate
[05:06.940]An'its words made us frown:
[05:08.792]
[05:09.266]This is New York town
[05:11.546]'Tis no place for a stranger
[05:16.127]'Tis no place for a clown
[05:19.327]
[05:20.106]And there's a flag on the steeple
[05:22.320]Fixed to it by certain people:
[05:24.454]
[05:25.122]'Tis Saturn City
[05:27.724]'Tis a city on Earth
[05:30.699]There's no place for pity
[05:33.418]Mercy's nothing worth
[05:35.601]
[05:36.064]Well, now at least we knew
[05:37.766]Where we were...
[05:40.200]Thanks Heaven - it was only a dream!
[05:44.991]Dream?...
