PATTI SMITH - 1959
Send "1959" Ringtones to Cell Phone
Album: Peace And Noise (1997)
Listen to my story. Got two tales to tell.
One of fallen glory. One of vanity.
The world's roof was raging, but we were looking fine
'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings,
in Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.
Wisdom was a teapot; Pouring from above.
Desolation angels
Served it up with Love.
Ignitin' g strife like every form of light,
then moved by bold design,
slid in that thing and it grew wings,
in Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.
It was Blood, shining in the Sun;
First: Freedom!
Speeding the american claim:
Freedom; Freedom; Freedom; Freedom!
China was the tempest, and madness overflowed.
The Lama was a young man,
and he watched his world in flames.
Taking Glory down by the edge of clouds
It was a cryin' shame.
Another lost horizon. Tibet the fallen star.
Wisdom and compassion Crushed, in the land of Shangri-La.
But in the land of the Impala, honey, well,
we were lookin' Fine,
'cause we built that thing and it grew wings
In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.
'Cause we built that thing and it grew wings
In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.
It was the best of times, it's was the worst of times
In 1959, 1959, 1959, 1959, 1959, 1959, 1959.
It was the best of times, It was the worst of times.
In Nineteen-Fifty-Nine.
