Alphabet City Lyrics - 1987
Debonair lullabies in melodies revealed
In deep despair on lonely nights
He knows just how you feel
The slyest rhymes - the sharpest suits
In miracles made real
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
You know you're right just to hold her tight
He soothes it right - makes it outtasite
And everything's good in the world tonight!
When smokey sings - i hear violins
When smokey sings - i forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
The front door might slam
But the back door it rings
And smokey sings...he sings
Elegance in eloquence - for sale or rent or hire
Should i say - yes i match his best
Then i would be a liar
Symphonies that soothe the rage
When lovers hearts catch fire
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
You know you're right just to hold her tight
He soothes it right - makes it outtasite
And everything's good in the world tonight!
When smokey sings - i hear violins
When smokey sings - i forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
Smashing the hell
With the heaven she brings
Then smokey sings...he sings
Luther croons
Sly's the original - originator
James screams
Marvin was the only innovator
But nothing can compare
Nothing can compare
When smokey sings
When smokey sings - i hear violins
When smokey sings - i forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
She threw back the ring
When smokey sings...
Smokey sings...
Smokey sings...
