I come from a long way away
  And I know a fine thing when I see it.
  See it
  For the same reason no one ever
  Pointed a telescope at the sun
  Talking about the Red Angels of New York City
    [Chorus]
  Who shot the shot?
  Who got shot tonite?
    Not even five enforcement agencies can save their own.
  Never mind the people
  Tonite it's raining on the Angels of the City
  Did anyone prophesize these people?
    Only Travis
  Come in Travis
  One of these days I'm gonna get myself organized.
    All the animals come out at night.
  Queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick venal.
  Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.
    Thank god for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk. Listen you screwheads:
  Here is a man who would not take it anymore.
  A man who stood up against the scum, the filth.
  Now I see clearly.
    Personally I know the alley
  Where Jack feeds on the birds of night
  Not even bubbies on bicycles 2x2
  Can stop the blood and feathers flying
    Waring overalls and for once and for all
  What is the dream?
  I'll tell it
  To live like they do in the movies
  San Juan you listening?
    Yeah I bet you are
  Hands up for Hollywood
  Hooray
  I hear you
  Snappy on the air
  Hang in their
  Wall to wall
  You saved the worled
  What else? You saved the girl
  Chmpagne on ice
  No stranger to Alcatraz
  To boot
  Or strip it down
  Chop it a little
  Being reasonable
  Just freedom to move
  To live
  For women to take a walk in the park at midnite
  Hey, but this is serious
  She can't even get back home
    I come from a long way off
  And I know a lifegiver over a lifetaker
  For the same reason no-one ever pointed
  A gun at a policeman
  Talking about the Red Angels of New York City
  Yeah
