Saint Dominic’s Preview

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Chamois cleaning all the windows Singin' songs about Edith Piaf's soul And I hear blue strains of "Ne regrette rien" Cross the street from Cathedral Notre Dame Meanwhile back in San Francisco We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend As we sit upon this jagged Story block with you my friend [Pre-Chorus] And it's a long way to Buffalo It's a long way to Belfast city too And I'm hoping the joist won't blow the hoist 'Cause this time they bit off more than they can chew [Chorus] As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on (Yeah) Saint Dominic's preview Saint Dominic's preview Saint Dominic's preview [Verse 2] All the orange boxes are scattered Against the Safeway supermarket in the rain And everybody feels so determined Not to feel anyone else's pain No one makin' no commitments To anybody but themselves Talkin' behind closed doorways Tryin' to get outside, get outside of empty shelves [Pre-Chorus] And for every cross-cuttin' country corner, country corner For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems And every strain on the brain and every eye [Chorus] As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on (Yeah) Saint Dominic's preview (Look at the man) Saint Dominic's preview (Look at the band) Saint Dominic's preview [Verse 3] All the restaurant tables are completely covered And the record company has paid out for the wine You got everything in the world you ever wanted And right about now your face should wear a smile (Doin' alright) That's the way it all should happen When you're in, when you're in the state you're in Have you got your pen and notebook ready? I think it's about time, time for us to begin [Pre-Chorus] And meanwhile we're over on a 52nd Street apartment Socializing with the wino few Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set But they was flyin' too high to see my point of view [Chorus] As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on Saint Dominic's preview (Look at the man) Saint Dominic's preview (Look at the band) Saint Dominic's preview (Set their freedom marching) Saint Dominic's preview (Out in the street, freedom marching) Saint Dominic's preview (Out in the street, look at the man) Saint Dominic's preview (Turn around) Saint Dominic's preview (Turn back, come back) Saint Dominic's preview (Turn around and look at the man) Saint Dominic's preview (Said, "Hold on") Saint Dominic's preview (Hey, hey) Saint Dominic's preview (A soul meeting) Saint Dominic's preview
