Twilight Of A Champion-the the[00:00:04]

The rising moon faces the sickening sun [00:00:17]

As the lights in the tower blocks go on one by one [00:00:20]

A big shot overlooking this black iron skyline--[00:00:25]

Surrounded by his symbols of prosperity--[00:00:29]

Sits back in his new leather chair[00:00:34]

Ripped off the back of some unfortunate beast [00:00:37]

I'm smiling through my teeth [00:00:39]

Anybody can be a millionaire [00:00:44]

So everybody's gotta try[00:00:46]

But by the laws of this human jungle[00:00:48]

Only the heartless will survive [00:00:50]

& down there--but for the grace of god[00:00:53]

--go I [00:01:00]

The smoke & the steam & the broken down dreams [00:01:15]

The hope & the hunger frustration & anger [00:01:19]

The little drunken lives --[00:01:24]

Driven' through the traffic lights[00:01:26]

& away from who they are [00:01:29]

But I've been thinking of you--[00:01:33]

In this great city of great solitude [00:01:37]

Crossin' the central reservation of my imagination [00:01:41]

Searchin' for the world I left behind [00:01:52]

A shadow hunting shadows of childhood life [00:01:56]

It's all I want--& all I miss--[00:02:01]

But how can I return to a place that don't exist [00:02:05]

From Mombosa to Miami Beiruit to Bangladesh [00:02:09]

I've flown around the world standing[00:02:29]

On the wing of a jet [00:02:30]

Tryin' to salvage my emotions[00:02:32]

From the bottom of the oceans--[00:02:33]

Y'see I sold my soul to pay for my dinner [00:02:46]

My stomach grew fatter but my heart grew thinner [00:02:51]

I ain't foolin' I'm fallin' I wasn't wicked just weak [00:02:55]

I ain't lyin' I'm dyin' crippled by deceit--[00:03:01]

Oh the hand that wrote the agony[00:03:24]

Has just begun--[00:03:25]

Will be the hand that pulls the trigger[00:03:26]

--of this gun[00:03:46]
