|
As this blessed evening falls |
|
Turn your back against the wall |
|
And protect your hands and face |
|
As you shield yourself from slings and arrows |
|
Keep your eye upon the sparrow |
|
As this blessed evening falls |
|
Moonlight over Montreal |
|
Don't try to resist arrest |
|
'Cos they'll smack you down before they cuff you |
|
Plant some drugs then try to snuff you |
|
And the South will rise again |
|
And we'll be in bed by ten |
|
But just don't assume that you're my friend |
|
And we'll shoot until there's sparks colliding |
|
As this blessed evening falls |
|
Don't forget the alcohol |
|
I can smell it on your breath |
|
With a message from your undertaker |
|
Stuffed in a martini shaker |
|
As this blessed evening falls |
|
Turn your back against the wall |
|
And protect your hands and face |
|
As you shield yourself from slings and arrows |
|
Keep your eye upon the sparrow |
|
And the South will rise again |
|
And we'll be in bed by ten |
|
But just don't assume that you're my friend |
|
And we'll shoot until there's sparks colliding |
|
When this blessed evening falls |
|
As this blessed evening falls |
