Bedlam Bridge
Lyricist:Robert Hirst, James Moginie
In this city with no footpath there's a building with no people There is crime and gun decisions There's a street of heat and hawkers, there's a house of hope drifters There's a gang that shoots then listens
There's a place that knows no poverty, a town without pollution There's a soul with good intentions There are canyons full of movie stars, churches made of metal There are mountains made of muscle
We have leaders who are anxious, we have captains not courageous Captains tumbling into madness But there's a main who makes no enemies, a body never breathless No ambition ever hopeless
Up on bedlam bridge somebody is waiting Up on bedlam bridge I'm shot to heaven Oh, up on bedlam bridge, waiting
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com In these locked and shackled neighborhoods, bridge and tunnel diplomats See the golden ghetto's creeper Crazy flags from history, songs for the White House gangsters Guns for hell gate railway sleepers
But there's a main who makes no enemies, a body never breathless No ambition ever hopeless So how stands the city on this winters night? The city on the hill or so they said
The snow is falling down around the armory The city's closing in around my head
Up on bedlam bridge somebody is waiting Up on bedlam bridge I'm shot to heaven Oh, up on bedlam bridge, waiting
Drive, won't you drive the engines harder, drive Drive, won't you turn the engines over, drive
