I clap my hands along in Babylon like a vagabond
I wear my uniform and bend the floor 'til the early mornin'
I take that dollar bill and spend it all before bombs kill me
I save my best for last and after that, don't even ask me

Clap hands
(That's right)
Clap hands

I take my broken bell and make it ring like a million churches
I scratch that kind of itch down in the ditch and switch my plates out
I drive to San Francisco, death to disco take my shirt off
I swim to Mexico, don't tell the mermaids where I'm goin'

Clap hands
(That's right)
Clap hands

I clap my hands along in Babylon like a vagabond
I wear my uniform and bend the floor 'til the early mornin'
I take that dollar bill and spend it all before bombs kill me
I save my best for last and after that, don't even ask me
