Bilingual
Charlie White is slummin'
And Billy Blues is hummin'
They ready for the nightly show
Everybody's runnin'
Cause the sons of drums are comin'
There's trouble on the street below
A little trouble on the street below
ย
Despair kick your gate in
Black and white are hatin'
While the money makers havin' fun
Christ your color's fadin'
Buddha where are you waitin'
Turn your halos on and come
Turn your halos on and run
ย
Leather tinker tailor man
Anyone you meet
Humpty dumpty sailor man
Is in a trance on Sedgewick Street
ย
Sweet Saint Peter
Pussy willow eater
Can you teach me how to pray
Stone wife beater
Yeah it shows up on your meter
But take the devil's time to pay
Cause it's the devil's time to play
ย
Handsome Harry couldn't stay
So he cut out with sister Sadie
Headin' back for where they been
Well tell me who can save the lady
Her reputation's gotten kind of shady
They say she smokes and drinks with men
It's all right cause I sneak a smoke myself every now and then
ย
Leather tinker tailor man
Anyone you meet
Here come a flunky what a failure man
He's in a trance on Sedgewick Street
ย
Now in the name of peace
Are you gonna pull that bomb release
Just because they told you to
Fears and doubts increase
I heard your angel lost his lease
And they say sorrow got a hold on you
And tomorrow got a hold on you
Leather tinker tailor man
Anyone you meet
A funky junkie and a jailer man
They in a trance on Sedgewick Street
They doin' a dance on Sedgewick Street
They in a trance on Sedgewick Street
Doin' a dance on Sedgewick Street
