Sparkling Jaw

Sparkling Jaw Lyrics

Blinded by the sun, the dying night
Closed her eyes.
Giants of concrete and glas
Blotted out the light from my eyes
New York City is a jungle without trees

Walking down the street,
My spirit was dying
Waterlilies were fighting
New York is a jungle without tears

Step by step, a man like you and me
Followed his white funeral
A smiling lady pushed a luminous coffin
Into a dark yellow pushcart
Beggars and tramps were joking
Slaver on their lips
A crocodile was joining us
"You 're all my friends " he said
"Don't be afraid..."
"I only want to give you pleasure
And take a little thing from you..."
"Believe in me! I'm a man of repute"
Beggars and tramps were joking
Slaver on their lips
A crocodile was joining us
"You 're all my friends " he said
"Don't be afraid..."

Last night in Hong Kong
With my best friend Shung Long
I read a sparkling jaw
Fell back upon New York City
Beggars and tramps were joking
Slaver on their lips
A crocodile was joining us
"You 're all my friends " he said
"Don't be afraid..."
" I only want to give you pleasure
And take a little thing from you..."
