*** Bristol And Miami ***
Café on the corner peeling
Painted sign
Water in the vinegar and it never
Changes to wine
Causing no fuss just smoking inside
Heavy lights burst in and the
Shadows rush to hide
Then Bristol caught fire
Smell of burning in the air
Everybody listening to the reggae
Jukebox singer
Singing
Sing on sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Sing on sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Four thousand miles to the west
People only take so much
When surrounded by the best they
Want to reach out and touch
Miami beach hot and lazy sun
A yellow ball of light
Hiding invisible men living
In a world of white
Bristol and Miami where
It's gonna be tomorrow
Anytime or anywhere
Its only time we borrow
Sun beat down hot heavy afternoon
Hurricane swept the town
And didn't finish so soon
Black smiles thrown in the dust
Replaced by anger
White grins begin to rust when
They're looking in the face of danger
Then Miami caught fire
Smell of burning in the air
Everybody listening to the reggae
Jukebox singer
Singing
Sing on sing on
Listen to the echo of the street
Black man singing
In the heat of the night
Broken dreams just fly away
