Shah Of Shahs - Al Stewart[00:00:00]

After these processions comes the sweeping up[00:00:04]

The rag and bone possessions an old tin cup[00:00:35]

The army trucks have hauled away the newly slain[00:00:42]

The angry crowd retreats but theyll be back again[00:00:50]

And the prisoner in the palace does not understand[00:00:57]

The ingratitude around him after all hes done and planned[00:01:05]

But if this the way that it must be then hell be damned[00:01:13]

If he will let them take away his perfect dream[00:01:20]

Ministers stuff bank notes into leather bags[00:01:25]

Their wives have packed the jewelry and the luggage tanks[00:01:34]

The word is on the street now growing day by day[00:01:41]

And even the informers know the stay away[00:01:49]

And the prisoner in the palace is appalled by this charade[00:01:56]

Feeling strangely unprotected by his miles of golden braid[00:02:04]

And if this is the way that it must be then Im afraid[00:02:12]

He will not let them take away his perfect dream[00:02:19]

And these mountains of equipment brought from foreign lands[00:02:25]

Are now stacked up in the desert being buried by the sand[00:03:04]

These rows of helicopters rusting where they stand[00:03:11]

Are butterflies to take away the perfect dream[00:03:18]

He cried inside the limousine and at the airport too[00:03:24]

Where the soldier knelt before him and kissed his shoe[00:03:32]

He flew across the desert and the open sea[00:03:39]

While they tore down all his statues and his legacy[00:03:47]

And the victor greets the newsmen with a strange and stoic style[00:03:54]

They take a hundred thousand pictures and in none of them a smile[00:04:03]

But this is just the way that it must be now for a while[00:04:10]

Hes only come to bring another perfect dream[00:04:17]
