Lyrics Inner City SpilloverLying in her bed
A brick fell on her head
Plaster finally crumbled
And dropped it's load
Oh oh
Now the building was condemned
Recycled used again
The brick that smashed her brain
Is now a road in Maine
When the pressure is way way down
The water comes out brown
It was on television
They took her brain uptown
Fearing peace would poison her
Some abstract modern saint
A painting or a sculpture
Or a cultural restraint
Inner City Spillover
Where the big time ticks
Royal Rose's ovens have to warm
What the furnace skips
Inner City Spillover
Pop the scene
Inner City Spillover
Workmen on the beam
Lying on her bed
A brick fell on her head
You find the ace of hearts and win
It's easy man
At a higher school of knowledge
They put her brain in college
Replacement parts and slippery cards
Will come around again
The writings on the wall
Statesmen say it all
With the art wars on and the colors crash
Long long before the fall
One out of these three cards
Will definitely up the odds
Find the red heart red to win
Drop on in
Time out and time in
All the suckers play it again
By the Broadway Babies and the island men
And the hotshots gambling
Inner City Spillover
Pops and picks
Inner City Spillover
Where the big time ticks
Inner City Spillover
Isle of dreams
Inner City Spillover
Workmen on the beam
Inner City Spillover
Subway riders fight
Newsmen uncover more horrors to describe
Ok sweetheart pull over
Where'd you learn to drive
Angels eye the people over
Eye eye eye eye eye eye eye eye
Inner City Spillover
Where the big time ticks
Royal Rose's ovens have to warm
What the furnace skips
Inner City Spillover
Pop the scene
Inner City Spillover
Workmen on the beam |
