The Shining Hour

[00:13.07] Are we still on the phone
[00:18.19] With the lady Anna Clarke and her trumpet solo
[00:23.78] Whose ghost sings for pay
[00:28.60] In the blue billiard room of the Monterey
[00:34.03] For room and for board
[00:38.57] And the backdoor key is a 19th century Civil War sword
[00:43.56] Once owned by John Booth
[00:48.76] Who misplaced his script when he caught his leather boot
[00:54.61] This could be the shining hour
[00:59.44] Based on all those mad beliefs
[01:04.33] In the money oil and angel powder
[01:09.47] In the new age magazine
[01:14.80]
[01:25.91] There's a hole in the wall
[01:31.75] Behind the photograph of Al Capone he's a sittin' down at city hall
[01:36.88] The police they peek thru here
[01:41.93] And they watch you get dressed in the two-way mirror
[01:47.29] But it's all in good spirits
[01:52.35] And if you close your eyes ya can't help help but to hear 'em move
[01:58.06] This could be the shining hour
[02:02.61] Based on all those mad beliefs
[02:08.08] In the money oil and angel powder
[02:13.28] In the new age magazine
[02:20.25]
[02:40.79] I propose a toast
[02:45.11] To the memory of the horse who carried King Tut and his gold
[02:50.80] Into the sun
[02:55.52] He collapsed last summer from the heat stroke somewhere in the East Village oh
[03:00.99] It kills me to think
[03:05.86] That I'm no longer living just looking for excuses to drink
[03:10.92] So lift up your glass
[03:15.63] And you Ouija board 'cause I'm fading fading fading fast
[03:21.45] This could be the shining hour
[03:26.70] Based on all those mad beliefs
[03:31.41] In the money oil and angel powder
[03:36.94] In the new age magazine.
