Last Days of the Century - Constantinople - Last Days

When the cock crows
When the wind blows
When the primrose of dawn
Is at your windows
Moving through the deep
You chase dreams across your sleep
Scarecrows, waiting at your door

In the last days of the century
Leaning from your balcony
You said this is how its meant to be
Can't you feel it in the air
See that light come shining down
All the way to Chinatown
See it shine for miles around
Reflecting everywhere

You wore black clothes
You quoted Shakespeare
You know I still get the shakes
When you stand this near
You look like a star from Cecil B. DeMille
When I saw you waiting at your door

In the last days of the century
Leaning from your balcony
You say changes come so rapidly
Can't you feel them in the air
See that light come shining down
All the way to Chinatown
See it shine for miles around
Reflecting everywhere

In the last days of the century
Leaning from your balcony
You said this is how it's meant to be
Can't you feel it in the air
See that light come shining down
All the way to Chinatown
See it shine for miles around
Reflecting everywhere

Across the western world
The lights are going down
The gypsy armies of the evening
Have lit their fires across
The nether side of town
Will they not let them lead again

So here in the night
Leave your home it's time for running
Out of the light
I see the hosts of Mohammed coming

The holy sister bars her doors against the east
A town that stood so long divided
The unexpected guest is breaking up the feast
She may not let him leave again
And here in the night
Leave your home, it's time for running
Out of the light
I see the hosts of Mohammed coming

I dreamed I stood like this before
And I'm sure the words that I heard then
Were much the same
It's just old Greek tragedy they're playing here
Held over by popular acclaim

In the last days of the century
Leaning from your balcony
You say this is how it's meant to be
Can't you feel it in the air
Oh, see that light come shining down
All the way to Chinatown
See it shine for miles around
Reflecting everywhere
