Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Echoes of the Broadway Everglades
With their mythical madonnas
Still walking in their shades
[Verse 2]
Lenny Bruce declares a truce
And plays his other hand
Marshall McLuhan, casual viewing
Head buried in the sand
[Verse 3]
Sirens on the rooftops wailing
But there's no ships sailing
Groucho, with his movies trailing
Stands alone with his punchline failing
[Verse 4]
Ku Klux Klan serve hot soul food
And the band plays "In the Mood"
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand
There's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almond
[Verse 5]
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air
And leads the parade
He knows, in a scent
You can bottle all you made
[Verse 6]
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes
Smiling at the Majorette, smoking Winston cigarettes
[Verse 7]
And as the song and dance begins
The children play at home
With needles, needles and pins
Written by: Mike Rutherford, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett, Tony Banks
