[ti:Take A Long Line]
[ar:The Angels]
[al:Face To Face]
[00:31.61] He was selling postcards from a paper stand
[00:33.76]
[00:34.27] A whiskey bottle in his withered hand
[00:36.23]
[00:36.77] He put a finger on a photo from an old magazine
[00:38.75]
[00:39.50] And saw himself in the shadow of his dream
[00:41.75]
[00:42.30] They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
[00:44.32]
[00:44.86] Told him his feet stank and took him downtown
[00:46.96]
[00:47.60] Called him agitator spy and thief
[00:49.50]
[00:50.11] Shut him up in solitary third degree
[00:52.15]
[00:52.80] Take a long line
[00:54.27]
[00:55.23] Take a long line
[00:56.88]
[00:57.91] Take a long line reel him in
[01:01.08]
[01:06.16] He tried to appeal to the king of might
[01:08.47] He said I'm just excercising my sacred right
[01:10.43]
[01:11.22] The king he said you ain't got no rights
[01:13.53]
[01:14.04] You're a madman a traitor get outta my sight
[01:16.45] Take a long line
[01:17.89]
[01:18.86] Take a long line
[01:20.65]
[01:21.60] Take a long line reel him in
[01:25.18]
[02:02.48] They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
[02:04.65] Told him his feet stank and took him downtown
[02:06.74]
[02:07.36] Called him agitator spy and thief
[02:09.26]
[02:09.88] Shut him up in solitary third degree
[02:11.77]
[02:12.58] They put him aboard a well wound whirlwind
[02:14.50]
[02:15.19] Pulled out his teeth and rold him to grin
[02:17.81] He gave them a smile pulled out a bottle of wine
[02:20.46] And said I never existed you've been wasting your time
[02:23.05] Take a long line
[02:24.43]
[02:25.46] Take a long line
[02:27.14]
[02:28.12] Take a long line reel him in
[02:31.54]
[02:33.72] Take a long line
[02:35.16]
[02:36.23] Take a long line
[02:37.78]
[02:38.79] Take a long line reel him in
[02:42.03]
[02:44.35] Take a long line
[02:45.85]
[02:46.68] Take a long line
[02:48.60]
[02:49.58] Take a long line reel him in
