Evening News Lyrics

CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: G
Jesus in the harbour stands
One foot on water, one on land
His life a gift, his life a curse
No sign of heaven here on earth
CHORUS:
And some they sit and they see right through
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
And the hangman mounts the gallows steps
Slips the rope around the neck
And the prisoner on the scaffold stands
His fate in the hooded hangman's hand
CHORUS:
And some they sit and they see right through
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
CHORUS:
And some they sit and they see right through
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
BRIDGE:
And the firing squad stands in a line
And the prisoner awaits his time
He's just a hooded target now
About to take his final bow
CHORUS:
And some they sit and they see right through
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C G C G
BRIDGE:
And the firing squad stands in a line
And the prisoner now awaits his time
He's just a human target now
About to take his final bow
CHORUS:
And some they sit and they see right through
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
And the bomber waits to draw a crowd
To howl mighty, howl loud
And the cameras record the scene
For the TV and the magazines
CHORUS:
And some they sit and they see right through
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
CHORUS:
And some they sit and they see right through
The kaleidoscope of the evening news
