Out of the broken down peoples
And we built the new languages

And, "Boom," goes the refinery
Where do nomads go when the Dow Jones falls too low

At Leek town hall tonight
Get me a taxi, goddamn
Take me to a reggae city

I'm always reporting for you
In the dangerous bureau
This is McNally, badge forty-nine, calling in
I'm with Mike Flynn
Taxi, goddamn
Ringo
