Uneven Light of Day Songtext
von Howe Gelb & A Band of Gypsies

Un, do′, tre', y

Way back in the ′70s
We had these silent emergencies
They say, it started back in the '50s
With one too many bouffant hairdos

Atta saw
That that was all

Now, Clint Eastwood and Neil Young
Won't make a statement on this one
′Cause big guitars and big guns
Won′t put a dent in thisone

We got a hole in the O (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Wider than this nation (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Deeper than a mountain (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
And it's bigger than your imagination (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)


She burns the uneven light of day
Burns all the good light away
She burns
The uneven light
Of day
Of day, hey hey

So, we go off to see Mr. Dupont
We bring with us, our list of causes
He says, "We do what we will
You can do what you want
We′re in it to recoup all our losses"

There's a hole in the O (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Deeper than this mountain (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
It′s wider than this nation (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
It's way bigger than your imagination (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)

And it burns the uneven light of day
Burnin′ all the good light away
Burns, burns, burns
Burnin' the uneven light of day
Hey-hey, hey hey
Hey hey hey
