THE ALARM - NEWTOWN JERICHO lyrics

See them run

Like characters in paintings

Turners frightening 'scapes

Industrial inside a nation of no escape

There's no escape in my frightened face

As we run run run

And turn to stone

OH LORD hear me now

The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho

OH LORD the wailing sound

Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho

See them fall

The rebecca ride at dawn

Petticoat ghost and tom

Working to reclaim the land for no reward

There's no reward my daughters of dawn

As we run run run

And turn to stone

OH LORD hear me now

The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho

OH LORD the wailing sound

Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho

I've been down amongst the crying there

Upon my knees I'm dying

And Polsen dragged across the city walls

Upon a wooden horse

Horse

Horse

Horse

This is Jericho

OH LORD hear me now

The fanfare sounds in a Newtown Jericho

OH LORD the wailing sound

Of helpless souls in a Newtown Jericho

Jericho, Jericho

Jericho, Jericho

Jericho, Jericho

Jericho, Jericho

Oh lord
