Píseň: Jeremiah Blues (Part I)

Interpret:
Sting
Album:
The Soul Cages
It was midnight
Midnight at noon
Everyone talked in rhyme
Everyone saw the big clock ticking
Nobody knew
Nobody knew the time


Elegant debutantes smiled
Everyone fought for dimes
Newspapers screamed for blood
It was the best of times


Every place around the world it seemed the same
Can´t hear the rhythm for the drums
Everybody wants to look the other way
When something wicked this way comes


Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree
Sometimes I stare
Sometimes it´s me


Everyone told the truth
All that we heard were lies
A pope claimed he´d been wrong in the past
This was a big surprise


Everyone fell in love
A cardinal´s wife was jailed
The government saved a dying planet
When popular icons failed


Every place around the world it seemed the same
Can´t hear the rhythm for the drums
Everybody wants to look the other way
When something wicked this way comes


Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree
Sometimes I stare
Sometimes it´s me


Sometimes I stare
Sometimes it´s me...
