Red Angel Dragnet

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 N-Y City

Who shot the shot?

Who got shot tonight?

Who shot the shot?

Who got shot tonight?

Not even five enforcement agencies can save their own

Never mind the people

Tonight it's raining on the angels of the city

Did anyone prophesize these people?

Only Travis, come in Travis

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

Who got shot tonight?

Thank God for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk

Listen you screw heads

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 bobbies bicycling two by two

Can stop the blood and feathers flying

Who got shot tonight?

Who got shot tonight?

Who got shot tonight?

Wearing 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 there

Wall to wall

You saved the world

What else?

You saved the girl

Champagne 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 the women to take a walk in the park at midnight

Hey, but this is serious

She can't even get back home

Who got shot tonight?

Who shot the shot that caught the cop

And took the cop and made him drop?

One of these days I'm gonna get myself all organizized
