Crystal palace lyrics

Artist  : Stan ridgway 
Song : Crystal palace
 
Movin’ kinda slow, no I never had much balance
Why does everyone I know keep makin’ lots a’
dough
I guess I’ll find out soon when I get to that
crystal palace in the sky

I’ve heard stories second hand about it’s grand
interior
Its gold and silver strands, cathedral ceilings
way up high
All the furnishing’s unique when you get to your
crystal palace in the sky


Well, I’ve worked as a part time circus boy
Collected cans down saticoy
And patiently put forth my master plan


I’ve imagined futures and full plates
And slept with every subliminal tape
But now I’m so angry at someone
My contract is in breach
Why must my crystal palace be on hold this week?



I feel lucky I suppose, at least we’re all still
breathin’
Stuck here in escrow, just a’ waitin’ out our
loan
But no big armed patrol will stop me when I get
to my crystal palace by and by


And it’ll be my way or the highway
Gettin’ to my crystal palace in the sky
