lyrics

Mayor

Look what's coming down the street again
Marty Balin, Bernie Taupin, Bowie, Bolan
Kris Kristofferson
Amen

Heaven knows we're always on the mend
Old Messiahs
New pariahs
Maybe all the Gods retire
In the end

And the mayor don't rock
And the mayor don't roll
While the whole world is watching
They're stealing the show
Right out from under your nose

Didja hear what's crawling up the charts my friend?
Sounds like someone's lying to you
Sounds of sirens
Lullaby-ing
You to them

Diplomats and Go Go brats
On the disco floor with the technocrats
It's a foxtrot in a honey trap for sure
Sounds like someone's plying you
With chemicals and crazy glue
Who made that bed?

And the mayor don't rock
And the mayor don't roll
While the whole world is watching
They're stealing the show
Right out from under your nose

Repeat Chorus

Diplomats and Go Go brats
