I don't know about all that Paroles

That much I can see

Anchormen and candidates and prostitutes are always influencing me

And though I'm standing over here

That distant sound reaches my ears

Tempts my comprehension and my sight with no lines

To read between



But I don't know about all that

Don't even keep it with me

And even if I come in last I know you'll be around me


There's hostages, there's world war three fulfilling biblical prophecy

I just don't know

Playing on the corner breaks the law the cops come tell me that I gotta go

And I have spent a night in jail

In sleep I've seen the gates of hell

God in all His glory forgot to do something about the litter on the streets



It's a roller coaster ride

If there's no handle clutch the sides

The carnival master has a ball

He catches your coins as they fall
