X2
Me and Harvey shouted slogans in Spanish
Like it was our world to win
Then they move a plant down a hater
Time to bite your tongue again
I've seen the fabled city
It's streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs round it
It's iron gate is closed

What ain't right ain't right he told me
But something else passed behind his eyes
No he's downtown on his knees washing floors for somebody
And quietly biding his time
I've seen the fabled city
It's streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs round it
It's iron gate is closed
The gas station on Sunset and Crescent
I met an angel sad and old
She lived in the alley behind the market
In the shadows may be hidden from the lord
And for a dollar she sang a song
Sounded more like a prayer
A wish that her dead mother and father
Couldn't look down and see her there
I've seen the fabled city
It's streets are paved with gold
But an iron fence runs round it
It's iron gate is closed
X2
On a wire outside my window
There sit one hundred swallows
And I suspect that if one flew
Then ninety-nine would follow
