The Palace At 4 a.m. - A.C. Newman
Composer:A.C. Newman
In some Polynesian dive
Downwind from the badlands
But but but but
The palace at 4 AM
We kick through the diamond dust
Halfway between Vancouver and
The bingo game that made the man
Kicking around in promised land
Just one flick of the wrist
One flick of the wrist
And look look look
We're in the palace at 4 AM
When a daydream threw the covers
Back back back back
Back before you saw
The ribbon tied around your bomb
When you were kicking hearts around
It was a straight shot a straight shot
But lady would you call it art
A straight shot a straight shot
But lady would you call it art
Lady would you call it art
Now no more pushing words around
No more pushing words around
But but but
In the palace at 4 AM
You're asking for the book to be thrown down
It opens with a thud
With the dumb luck that was sublime
Kicking around in promised land
With a straight shot a straight shot
But lady would you call it art
A straight shot a straight shot
But lady would you call it art
Lady would you call it art
Now no more pushing words around
Straight shot
In the palace at 4 AM
Straight shot
In the palace at 4 AM
Straight shot
In the palace at 4 AM
Straight shot
In the palace at 4 AM
Straight shot
In the palace at 4 AM
Straight shot
In the palace at 4 AM
Straight shot
In the palace at 4 AM
Straight shot
In the palace at 4 AM
