Jeremiah Blues — текст песни (Sting and Police)

It was midnight, midnight at noon

Everyone talked in rhyme

Everyone saw the big clock tick-in,

Nobody knew, nobody knew the time

Elegant dbutantes smiled

Everyone fought for dimes

Newspapers screamed for blood

It was the best of times



Every place around the world, it seemed the same

Cant hear the rhythm for the drums

Everybody wants to look the other way

When something wicked this way comes



Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree

Sometimes I stare, sometimes its me



Everyone told the truth

All that we heard were lies

A pope claimed that hed been wrong in the past

This was a big surprise

Nobody knew the time

Everyone fell in love

A cardinals wife was jailed

The government saved a dying planet

When popular icons failed



Every place around the world it seemed the same

Cant hear the rhythm for the drums

Everybody wants to look the other way

When something wicked this way comes



Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree

Sometimes I stare, sometimes its me

Sometimes I stare, sometimes its me
