Tony Adams

Tonight there was a power cut in the city of madness

And all conversations died in the burst of a solar flare

In the darkness, an angel won the beauty pageant

And stroboscopic snowflakes fell from the stratosphere

And all the neon blew down funky Broadway

And shorted out the Eastern shore

Only saxophones and beach trombones

We're left to shout out, "We all need a little more"

I'm waitin' for the rays of the morning sun

Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun?

Let all the wailin' wail, let the drummer drum

We're waitin' for the rays of the morning sun

Hey

The morning sun

Whoa, whoa

The morning sun

Hey, hey

The morning sun

Has anybody seen the morning sun?

I'm lost in a world beyond the lost city

I'm lookin' for a phone and I can't find one

Got a Tony Bennet eight track in the hotel, pity

The moon turned around and shot someone

I'm lost in a Mack truck jack in the city of words

Only dead men stomp on the brake pedals in the city of nerves

Sow me some reaps, Jack, I'm dead on the heap

Show me some glycerine, Mack, downhill is so steep

I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun

Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun?

Let all the wailin' wail, let the drummer drum

We're waitin' for the rays of the morning sun

Hey

The morning sun

Whoa, whoa

The morning sun

Hey, hey

The morning sun

Has anybody seen the morning sun?

The whole city is a debris of broken heels and party hats

I'm standin' on a corner that's on a fold on a map

I lost my friends at the deportee station

I'll take immigration into any nation

And I'm waitin' for the rays of the morning sun

Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun?

Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum

Waiting for the rays of the morning sun

Hey

The morning sun

Whoa, whoa

The morning sun

Hey, hey

The morning sun

Has anybody seen the morning sun?

Has the new world begun?

Has the new world begun?
