Walking out of England thinking you were king taking on this world On that bus that goes through Mexico a killer love finds a sweet Mexican girl But in Mississippi we rushed into the room Down in Dixie you were crying for dope Down in Alabama they like home cooked fare yeah So we're gonna strap you to the fryin' chair yeah
chorus: But I don't know what love is Is there something else giving me the chills? But if my hands are the color of blood Then, Baby, I can tell ya sure I can tell ya Love kills Kills Love kills Kills
Do you wanna hear all the sirens of the city drown the arguing? We're on riker's island on a population board They don't care about your fame
repeat chorus
On the Rio Grande they'll tie you to a tree Ooh-oh-ohh x2 And you can't call the lawyers 'cause the whorehouse is asleep Ohh-oh-ohh x2 You people will get weak Ohh-oh-ohh x2 They'll throw you in a cell where you can barely breathe Ohh-oh-ohh x2
Police and thieves in the street, oh yeah Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition Police and thieves in the street, oh yeah Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
From Genesis to Revelations The next generation will be hear me All the crimes committed day by day No one tried to stop it in any way All the peace makers turn war officers Hear what I say
London calling to the faraway towns Now war is declared - and battle come down London calling to the underworld Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls London calling, now don't look at us All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust London calling, see we ain't got no swing 'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin Engines stop running, but I have no fear London is drowning - I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone London calling upon the zombies of death Quit holding out - and draw another breath London calling - and I don't wanna shout But when we were talking, I saw you nodding out London calling, see we ain't got no hides Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin A nuclear era, but I have no fear London is drowning - I live by the river
Now get this London calling, yeah, I was there, too An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true! London calling at the top of the dial After all this, won't you give me a smile?
