lyrics

Sold my soul to the picture show
Everything I’d ever owed
It was burned away (I think it was May)
They were crying on the road

Dr. John said to Major Tom
"It’s your turn to play"
And the Boys of Wexford
In heart and hand
This world will have its day

The dreams we bore
And the deaths we’d score
Just to suffocate in pain
From the market dark
I swear I felt your spark
You were impaled by the rain

Kingdom Come, if your will be done
It’s going to leave a mark
And the Boys of Wexford
In heart and hand
This world we will embark

I do not doubt dieu honesty
No one’s dealt that perfect hand
For if every seventh dynasty
Should melt back into sand
It was not for me
This was not for me
It was not for me

From grey to black
There’s no turning back
To the life I’ll never know
From the concrete street to the Bristol heat
The circus touched by snow

Elston Gunn, he spit out his gum
Said "It’s your turn to deal”
The cards were dealt
And the boys they felt
The world could finally heal
