letra de 3 o’clock flamingo street - david mcwilliams

Loading...

[verse 1]
empty sound, deserted town
beneath the silvery feathered down
of morning’s waking breath
forgotten tunes and silver spoons
goes to deeply shadowed gloom
and dies a silent death

[verse 2]
drunkard peers through plastic ears
holds his bottle heaven near
and dimly strains to rise
unreal, can’t feel
his dagger dangling, band of steel
through plastic coated eyes

[refrain]
don’t turn away, there ain’t no need
it’s just three o’clock flamingo street

[verse 3]
big band show an hour ago
i saw the laughing doorman show
the stairway to the crowd
yellow girl, hair uncurled
swaying in a rhythmic world
to the music playing loud
[verse 4]
close light, shines bright
pierces through the yielding night
and hides the shadows deep
feeling free, should be
no time to turn the door and see
where moaning widows weep

[refrain]
don’t turn away, there ain’t no need
it’s just three o’clock flamingo street

[verse 5]
pains begun, bottle done
no place where a man can run
to shield his shaking brain
head down ’round and ’round
hold on harder to the ground
untouched by the rain

[verse 6]
flesh cold, young or old
who cares if the truth be told
its only him to blame
jack and jill had their fill
begin to walk the day until
it all begins again
[refrain]
don’t turn around there ain’t no need
it’s just three o’clock flamingo street
