Red Angel Dragnet

[Verse 1: Kosmo Vinyl]

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

[Refrain]

Who shot the shot?

Who got shot tonight?

Who shot the shot?

Who got shot tonight?

[Verse 2]

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

Someday a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets"

[Verse 3]

"Thank god for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk

Listen you screwheads

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 bubbies bicycling two by two

Can stop the blood and feathers flying

[Refrain]

Who shot the shot?

Who got shot tonight?

Who shot the shot?

Who got shot tonight?

[Verse 3]

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 women to take a walk in the park at midnight

Hey, but this is serious, she can't even get back home

[Outro]

Who got shot tonight?

Who shot the shot that dropped the cop

That dropped the cop, that made him drop?

One of these days, I'm gonna get myself out of this house
