order 1081

David Byrne

A bomb went off this morningâ??raining bodies on TV
They are blaming the insurgents, they are blocking off the streets
And the smoke is rising slowly, from the barrel of a gun
The solution to disruptionâ??Order 1081

Now the sunsets are incredible across Manila Bay
You can hear the bombers landing at the U.S. Air Force base
And somewhere in the distance, out beyond the setting sun
They will sign a proclamationâ??Order 1081

Now we live down by the water in a shack thatâ??s made of wood
And the bankers need to huddleâ??so they need some extra room
We will find us somewhere better, thereâ??s enough for everyone
Got a perfect explanationâ??Order 1081

I thought I ordered coffee but they gave me 7Up
Got to clear away these shanties and these ugly nipa huts
So the seeds of our great future, they can grow here when weâ??re done
And itâ??s clearly all because of Order 1081

For thirty days the rain fell, we were nearly washed away
The radio fell silent, nothing left to do but pray
And the senator he told us the guerrillas are on the run
And the reason they are hiding?â??Order 1081

They are planting plastic flowers on the seaside esplanade
The Pope is speaking Spanish but we canâ??t hear what he says
Got to stop all this confusion, got to wipe away this scum
And the way to make it happenâ??Order 1081

Itâ??s amazing that the soldiers somehow all know how to dance
Itâ??s amazing how the soldiers keep the creases in their pants
Now itâ??s safe to walk the streets at nightâ??a new world has begun
Evâ??rybodyâ??s sleeping soundlyâ??thanks to 1081
