And it ain't shining, it ain't shining, shine, shine, shine...

There's cracks in the walls in the town of jericho,
sirens blaring out a lifetime never told rembrandt
at the wall his palate's small,
his hopes are tall he writes his name, his claim to fame

On red bricks bright white
Hey pretty thing, voices out a window sing a puerto
rican peggy sue of seventeen in yellow shoes
All are out tonight you might say they're looking for
some action a dog strays, music plays, kids stay in the streets all day
They see the man in the black coat as a form of satisfaction
