The great american diner Lyrics

A new part in a old play
A professional beauty
A different face every day
Momentarily saddened
In more supreme and cheerful
Days and nights
My heart breaks in...

And the beat goes: down
For the 21st century shrine
And the beat goes down
For the great american diner
And the beat goes: down
For the 21st century shrine
And the beat goes down
Fiercely fake
And the truth never to trace down

A dozen beauties live on stage
A yellow bird in a cage
Watch the man in his grey gloves
Playing the techno-coloured piano
Snap shot - picture taken
Short cut snap shot - life was taken
Sometimes seized by fits of melancholy

And the beat goes: down
For the 21st century shrine
And the beat goes down
For the great american diner
And the beat goes: down
For the 21st century shrine
And the beat goes down
With a rain-cloud and a great sonic boom

Patient help will enter
Patient - help will enter
With a raincloud and a sonic...boom!
But all that came was a letter
To whom it may concern
I've taken my life
With a sharp edge
Of my funny - wife

And the beat goes: down
For the 21st century shrine
And the beat goes down
For the last american diner
And the beat goes: down
For the 21st century shrine
And the beat goes down
Fiercely fake
And the truth never to trace down
