lyrics

black pavement on the street
even policemen can not see
a black woman with a white child
broken windows, a crack in the sky
broken windows, a crack in the sky

small children stand in a in line
a priest and a minister are waiting for wine
the lonely boy that no one can find
is waiting on tables in a cafe in Prague
waiting on tables in Prague

house boats on the river, cats in the yard
the boys from Yale are never apart
there off to london with a new job
money and romance and God
money and romance and God

black pavement on the street
even policemen can not see
a black woman with a white child
broken windows, a crack in the sky
broken windows, a crack in the sky
broken windows, a crack in the sky
