The Year The World Stood Still

from Montecarlo by Folk Damone

/

lyrics

waiting for the laundress
to press and fold my clothes
i watch three buses go by
witth no passengers
taxos the avenue
none can find a fare
a few stores are till open
bit there isnothing on the shelves

chorus
it wasnt just one innocent on the row
not even a natipn quarentned at guantanamo
world, interruted
from beijing to brazil
life, interrupted
in the year the world stood still


the rabbits on my balcony
refuse to leave their cage
the rabid dogs are silent now
having lost all their rage

the slickest wheler dealers
are down on their luc
someone opens up a window
because the sliding doors are stuck

chorus

a pigeon stumbles from its perch
onto a sicky trap
i try to help him out
but im afraid his legs wil snap

so i take a two by four
and smash that bird to bits
toss the mess into a bag
and throw it to the shit

chorus

papa drank all the whiskey
mama polished off the beer
theres nothing much to celebrate
on new years eve this year

as the slobs of the old world order
take their place on tv
i look into the future
but there is nothng much to see

chorus
