	作曲 : McLean
	The angels are lost in the city of stars
	the wise men are down on their knees.
	And the fruitman of freeway will sell you his cars
	when he's sure that you can't find the keys.
	And the ladies on Magdalene lane
	all worship the sun and the sand.
	And the migrants who come can't complain
	for this is their promised land.
	La la la la la la la la la,
	la la la la la la la.
	La la la la la la la la la,
	la la la la la la la.
	MGM studios can't make the nut
	they're auctioning Dorothy's shoes.
	Gable is gone, the good witch is a slut
	and I've got the parking lot blues.
	The wizard brought benzadrine smiles
	and he never let Dorothy doze.
	She died as she walked down the aisle
	and all that remains is her clothes.
	Over the rainbow a Kansas tornado
	can twist up a little girlÂ's head.
	Aunt Em's on relief and the tinman's a thief
	and even the wizard can't wake the dead.
	La la la la la la la la la,
	la la la la la la la.
	The prophet has come to this kingdom of lights
	but there's no one to listen or learn.
	And the savior performs for the prophet's delight
	while dissenters are banished or burned.
	And the heretics beg to be heard
	but the savior's on tour for the week.
	Salvation is found in his word
	if only he'd learn how to speak.
	And Lincoln is laughing with Amos 'n' Andy
	concerning the Great Civil War.
	And Paul Revere sleeps with the worst looking creeps
	while revolution's knocking at his door.
	La la la la la la la la la,
	la la la la la la la.
	Magdalene Lane is the red light domain
	where everyone's soul is for sale.
	A piece of your heart will do for a start
	but you can send us the rest in the mail.
	For we have our own families to feed
	and we can't let them starve just for you.
	Well, we'd rather not watch while you bleed
	so come back in an hour when you're through.
	It's just another city full of sorrow,
	it makes no difference why I came.
	I only know I'm leaving here tomorrow
	and only the motel man knows my name.
