Lyrics:
the party? aren't the lights pretty at night?
Left Voice (Morrison, Tucker)
Sick leaf and sorrow and pincers net-scissors, regard and refrain from
Beau James, Beau James, Beau James
He walked along Broadway
They called him Beau James
The city streets were his pals
The lights were his gals
His
a superstar
Come let me sign you up
(Let's get into it)
Ooh it's the lights (You're blinded by the)
Action! (You need that)
Hollywood!
Ooh it's
(you're blinded by the)
Action! (You need that)
Hollywood (uh, uh, uh, uh)
Oh, it's the lights (you're blinded by the)
Satisfaction (you need that)
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame?
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land
a superstar
Come let me sign you up
(Let's get into it)
Ooh it's the lights (You're blinded by the)
Action! (You need that)
Hollywood!
Ooh it's
that early
In Morrison lines just beginning
Getting followed by feds like
"your hype cause your blick" but
We still rose from those cold
Broken nights
The clock of St. James looking down through the rain
In a city blackened with time
Alleys and the doorways are grim
Street lights dimmed from
He walked along Broadway
They called him Beau James
The city streets were his pals
The lights were his gals
His favorite flames
He wrote
after midnight
When he finally put down his wrench
Then in the dim light he saw her
Leaning against the bench
She said "James I have been waiting
their names?
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?
Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright
In the farms and in the cities they're
a nigga like you
And tell 'em Rick James, bitch
With your Hollywood stories on porches
We poli' hood stories about who became rich
And whatever light
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame?
She flew the Stars and Stripes
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame?
She flew the Stars and Stripes
Have you heard of a ship
Called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men both
Of honor and fame?
She flew the Stars and Stripes of
The land
Have you heard of the ship called the good Reuben James?
Manned by hard fighting men of both honor and fame
She flew the Stars and Stripes
Bentley's 'round the city on buttons, ya bitch
Arm hangin', wrist blingin', just stuntin' and shit
Drop the top, block is hot, stay bumpin', ya bitch
B.
to only, break apart, like the light and dark
In the early morning, I was writing these bars
Before the rapper trend started
Now everyone in Cape Town, is
Bentley's 'round the city on buttons, ya bitch
Arm hangin', wrist blingin', just stuntin' and shit
Drop the top, block is hot, stay bumpin', ya bitch

Hello, hello
Today we'll be doing a reading of
The Gift of the Magi, which was published by O. Henry
In the December of 1905
The Gift of the Magi
Well if theres a god, god bless the girls who always shine a light
Praise Etta James and Joplin
Praise Haliday and Franklin
Old friends, that bring
Have you heard of that ship
Called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men
Both of honor and fame?
She flew the Stars and Stripes
And "jiggaboo" and "spearchucker"
And ugly real ugly
By the local White folks
And the local Negroes too
Just because she was born tobacco brown like James Brown
Ma
The promise is supported”
We will light the city brighter than the WhoVille Forest
Cindy Lou World Order, too hot to ignore it
I'm talkin' all-seasons down
