[00:00.00]X-ray Style - Joe Strummer/The Mescaleros
[00:08.51]I see a million walk the city mile
[00:15.26]The tickertape kings and the juveniles
[00:22.33]Will anybody tell me which way to go
[00:29.25]Will anybody come back on the C B Radio
[00:35.37]I'm counting the stars and the telegraph poles
[00:42.49]And each one represents the hopes of a soul
[00:50.35]You'd think that God wouldn't be so hard
[00:57.53]When you see all the little children running
[01:01.71]Running in the backyard
[01:03.68]On a Mississippi gourd with a Sub-Sahran song
[01:10.57]Somebody is wailing in the financial district sun
[01:18.34]Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
[01:25.65]I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
[01:31.48]Gonna make like Eddie on my rockabilly train
[01:38.26]Gonna beat out the blues on my ball and chain
[01:45.22]Oh you can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
[01:53.59]There's people living now
[01:56.05]Who ain't got no heart and ain't never had none
[01:59.96]Down on the border they crawl all the way
[02:06.78]To get a clip of living with a clean-all spray
[02:14.75]Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
[02:21.78]I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
[02:42.79]You can't pull a hold-up with a Be-Bop gun
[02:49.73]There's people living now
[02:52.18]Who ain't got no heart and ain't never had none
[02:55.92]I hear a payphone ringing out on murder mile
[03:02.89]The sucker who picks up gets his number dialled
[03:10.86]And all the sparkling waters that ever flowed
[03:17.89]Could never wash down this town so clean that it glowed
[03:24.21]And I need to see in an x-ray style
[03:31.18]I need some rock art that don't come in a vial
[03:39.05]Can anybody feel the distance to the Nile
[03:46.15]I wanna live and I wanna dance awhile
