Saint Dominic's Preview

[Verse 1]

Chamois cleaning all the windows

Singin' songs about Edith Piaf's soul

And I hear blue strains of "Ne regrette rien"

Cross the street from Cathedral Notre Dame

Meanwhile back in San Francisco

We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend

As we sit upon this jagged

Story block with you my friend

[Pre-Chorus]

And it's a long way to Buffalo

It's a long way to Belfast city too

And I'm hoping the joist won't blow the hoist

'Cause this time they bit off more than they can chew

[Chorus]

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on (Yeah)

[Verse 2]

All the orange boxes are scattered

Against the Safeway supermarket in the rain

And everybody feels so determined

Not to feel anyone else's pain

No one makin' no commitments

To anybody but themselves

Talkin' behind closed doorways

Tryin' to get outside, get outside of empty shelves

[Pre-Chorus]

And for every cross-cuttin' country corner, country corner

For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried

And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems

And every strain on the brain and every eye

[Chorus]

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on (Yeah)

[Verse 3]

All the restaurant tables are completely covered

And the record company has paid out for the wine

You got everything in the world you ever wanted

And right about now your face should wear a smile (Doin' alright)

That's the way it all should happen

When you're in, when you're in the state you're in

Have you got your pen and notebook ready?

I think it's about time, time for us to begin

[Pre-Chorus]

And meanwhile we're over on a 52nd Street apartment

Socializing with the wino few

Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set

But they was flyin' too high to see my point of view

[Chorus]

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

Saint Dominic's preview (Look at the band)

Saint Dominic's preview (Set their freedom marching)

Saint Dominic's preview (Out in the street, freedom marching)

Saint Dominic's preview (Out in the street, look at the man)

Saint Dominic's preview (Turn around)

Saint Dominic's preview (Turn back, come back)

Saint Dominic's preview (Turn around and look at the man)

Saint Dominic's preview (Said, "Hold on")

Saint Dominic's preview (Hey, hey)

Saint Dominic's preview (A soul meeting)
