Ain't That Something

I see the Chinese lanterns sway in the evening
A frontier city at night
I see the cowhands loafing along the boardwalk
The senoritas catching the light
Ain’t that something, the world surviving you?
Ain’t that something? We are definitely doomed
At the Belasco Theatre ghosts of the Follies pirouette into the night
The Oriental Curio Company is open late for all your eastern delights
Ain’t that something, the world surviving you?
Ain’t that something? Bolt me out of the blue
And when the lightning strikes it won’t be a minute a minute too soon
Now, I’ve been Illinois’d, I’ve been Omaha’d
Think I’m hitting the road
Back to the haunted city of angels
Its solar powers and demons galore
Ain’t that something, the world surviving you?
Ain’t that something? We are definitely doomed
And when the lightning strikes it won’t be a minute a minute too soon
