Saint Dominic's Preview

(专辑： It's Too Late To Stop Now - 1974)

Chambois, cleaning all the windows
Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul
And I hear blue strains of "No Regredior"
Across the street from cathedral Notre Dame

Meanwhile, back in San Francisco
We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend
As we sit upon this jagged
Story block, with you, my friend

And it's a long way to Buffalo
It's a long way to Belfast city, too
And I'm hoping the joist won't blow the hoist
'Cause this time, they bit off more than they could chew

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on, yeah

All the orange boxes are scattered
Against the Safeway supermarket in the rain
And everybody feels so determined
Not to feel anyone else's pain

No one making no commitments
To anybody but themselves
Talking behind closed doorways
Trying to get outside, get outside of empty shell

And for every cross-cutting county corner, country corner
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried
And all the chains, badges, flags, and emblems
And every strain on brain and every eye

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

I look at them, man
Saint Dominic's preview
Look at the band

All the restaurant tables are completely covered
And the record company has paid out for the wine
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
And right about now, your face should wear a smile, do you know that?
That's the way it all should happen
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in
And you got your pen and notebook ready
I think it's about time, time for us to begin

And meanwhile, we're over on a 52nd Street apartment
Socializing with the white hope few
Just to be hip, and get wet with the jet set
But they was flying too high to see my point of view

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

Look at them, man
Saint Dominic's preview
Look at the band
Saint Dominic's preview
Set them freedom marching
(Saint Dominic's preview)
Out in the street, freedom marching
(Saint Dominic's preview)
Out in the street
Look at them, man
(Saint Dominic's preview)
Turn around
(Saint Dominic's preview)
Come back, come back
(Saint Dominic's preview)
Turn around
And look at them, man
(Saint Dominic's preview)
Said, hold on
Saint Dominic's preview
Hey, hey, Saint Dominic's preview
To soul me in
