Jeremiah Blues (part 1)

Sting & Police

It was midnight, midnight at noon

Everyone talked in rhyme

Everyone saw the big clock tick-in',

Nobody knew, nobody knew the time

Elegant débutantes smiled

Everyone fought for dimes

Newspapers screamed for blood

It was the best of times



Every place around the world, it seemed the same

Can't hear the rhythm for the drums

Everybody wants to look the other way

When something wicked this way comes



Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree

Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me



Everyone told the truth

All that we heard were lies

A Pope claimed that he'd been wrong in the past

This was a big surprise

Nobody knew the time

Everyone fell in love

A Cardinal's wife was jailed

The government saved a dying planet

When popular icons failed



Every place around the world it seemed the same

Can't hear the rhythm for the drums

Everybody wants to look the other way

When something wicked this way comes



Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree

Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me

Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me
