Lyrics
Baby Grace is the victim She was 14 years of age And the wheels are turning, turning For the finger points at me (All's well) But I have not been to Oxford Town (All's well) No, I have not been to Oxford Town Toll the bell Pay the private eye (All's well) 20th century dies And the prison priests are decent My attorney seems sincere I fear my days are numbered Lord, get me out of here Here (all's well) But I have not been to Oxford Town (All's well) But I have not been to Oxford Town Toll the bell Pay the private eye (All's well) 20th century dies This is your shadow on my wall This is my flesh and blood This is what I could've been And the wheels are turning and turning As this 20th Century dies If I had not ripped the fabric If time had not stood still If I had not met Ramona If I'd only paid my bill (All's well) I have not been to Oxford Town (All's well) But I have not been to Oxford Town Toll the bell Pay the private eye (All's well) 20th century dies This is my shave in hell This is my salute This is what I could have been This is what I could have been (All's well) But the wheels are turning and turning (All's well) As this 20th Century dies This is my bunk with two sheets This is my food though foul This is what I could have been Toll the bell Pay the private eye (All's well) 20th Century dies Toll the bell (But I have not been to Oxford town) Pay the private eye (All's well) 20th century dies (no, I have not been to Oxford town) Toll the bell Pay the private eye (no, I have not been to Oxford town)) (All's well) 20th century dies (I have not been to Oxford town) (All's well) 20th century dies (All's well) (All's well) (All's well) (All's well)
