Cell Phones Ringing (in the Pocket of the Dead)
Willie Nile Blind man beggin' for a little crust of bread Rich lady wonderin' what the undertaker said Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead
Mother nature's lookin' for the hands of father time He's got "˜em reachin' for the girl in number nine She's readin' horoscopes lookin' for a sign Waitin' for the train that'll take her down the line
Cell phones ringin' in the middle of the street History's tellin' stories that a sailor won't repeat Believers and infidels are fighting in the heat While bodies of the innocent are covered with a sheet I said hey,hey,"¦hey, hey, hey
Everybody's lookin' for what they cannot find I'm down here on Bleeker Street tryin' to read your mind
Santa Claus and Robinhood are doin' what they can To feed the poor and soak the rich and help their fellow man While senators and congressmen are workin' on a plan To get some more vacation time to get a deeper tan
Sheena's in the jungle tryin' hard to keep it real The doctor's in the ale house tryin' to cop a feel The count of Monte Christo wants to make another deal And Dracula's in the kitchen and he's lookin' for a meal Hey, hey"¦hey, hey, hey"¦I said hey"¦hey, hey, hey
Everybody's lookin' for what they cannot find I'm down here on Bleeker Street tryin' to read your mind
Aristotle's ridin' on a ferryboat to Mars While Juliet is creepin' through the closets of the stars Romeo is on the run smoking' blue cigars Puttin' cocoa butter on to cover up the scars Maggie May and Captain Hook are walkin' down the aisle As the president saunters in astride a crocodile The Ayatolah swears he is not a pedophile And the Right of Man don't mean a damn here in the age of style
