The Last Tambourine Lyrics

Well, the dogs will howl and the bells will ring
They'll bring in the laundry and the birds will sing
They'll be toastin ' our health the headlines will scream
But not until the last tambourine

Chorus:

Tambourine
The last tambourine
That's gotta be just what we need
The last tambourine's goin' straight to the top
The last tambourine's gonna make it rock, well

Well, the courts will adjourn and the ships will come in
There'll be absolution for all of our sins
And the paparazzi will be making a scene
But not until the last tambourine

They don't write the writin' on the walls
They don't see it comin' till after they fall
They couldn't tell a pig's ear from a golden ring
Until of cours the last tambourine
