Slow Bombing The World

There’s a hotel in Paris where
he windows look out to sea
So many people stay there,
some dead and some like me.
I saw Chet Baker’s name on
the wall of the restaurant
and «Timothy Leary» carved on
the window in 503.
It’s not in Algeria.
And it’s midnight on the midnight express.
It’s all part of evolution, babe,
slow bombing the world.
Slow bombing the world.
I walked on the bricks of heaven,
saw the boats on the Seine,
met an old friend I used to talk to
till the morning came.
He’s livin' with Evelyn,
and he paints stuff and walks around town.
All cigarettes and magazines
and I know I’ve lost what he has found.
Slow bombing the world.
Slow bombing the world.
And it’s written on the subway walls
Russian girls love China boys.
There’s a hotel in Paris where
the windows look out to sea.
A girl with a candle burning
and playing for free,
and her face is like an angel lookin' up at me.
Slow bombing the world.
Slow bombing the world.
