Lyrics
[Verse 1] "Good God! Don't jump!" A boy sat on the ledge An old man who had fainted was revived (He's alright) And everyone agreed it would be a miracle indeed If the boy survived [Chorus] "Save the life of my child!" Cried the desperate mother [Verse 2] A woman from the supermarket ran to call the cops "He must be high on something," someone said Though it never made The New York Times In The Daily News, the caption read [Chorus] "'Save the life of my child!' Cried the desperate mother" [Bridge] (Hello, darkness, my old friend) (I've come to talk with you again) [Verse 3] A patrol car passing by halted to a stop Said officer MacDougal in dismay "The force can't do a decent job 'Cause the kids got no respect for the law today" (And blah, blah, blah) [Chorus] "Save the life of my child!" Cried the desperate mother "Oh, what's becoming of the children?" People asking each other [Verse 4] When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd And it made them wild In the atmosphere of freaky holiday When the spotlight hit the boy And the crowd began to cheer He flew away [Outro] Oh my grace, I got no hiding place Oh my grace, I got no hiding place Oh my grace, I got no hiding place Oh my grace, I got no hiding place Oh my grace, I got no hiding place...
