Blind man beggin' for a little crust of bread

Rich lady wonderin' what the undertaker said

Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead

Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead

Hey, hey…hey, hey, hey

Mother nature's lookin' for the hands of father time

He's got 'em reachin' for the girl in number nine

She's readin' horoscopes lookin' for a sign

Waitin' for the train that'll take her down the line

Hey, hey…hey, hey, hey

Cell phones ringin' in the middle of the street

History's tellin' stories that a sailor won't repeat

Believers and infidels are fighting in the heat

While bodies of the innocent are covered with a sheet

Hey, hey…hey, hey, hey

I said hey,hey,…hey, hey, hey

Everybody's lookin' for what they cannot find

I'm down here on Bleeker Street tryin' to read your mind

Hey, hey…hey, hey, hey

Santa Claus and Robinhood are doin' what they can

To feed the poor and soak the rich and help their fellow man

While senators and congressmen are workin' on a plan

To get some more vacation time to get a deeper tan

Hey…hey, hey, hey

Sheena's in the jungle tryin' hard to keep it real

The doctor's in the ale house tryin' to cop a feel

The count of Monte Christo wants to make another deal

And Dracula's in the kitchen and he's lookin' for a meal

Hey, hey…hey, hey, hey…I said hey…hey, hey, hey

Everybody's lookin' for what they cannot find

I'm down here on Bleeker Street tryin' to read your mind

Hey, hey

Aristotle's ridin' on a ferryboat to Mars

While Juliet is creepin' through the closets of the stars

Romeo is on the run smoking' blue cigars

Puttin' cocoa butter on to cover up the scars

Maggie May and Captain Hook are walkin' down the aisle

As the president saunters in astride a crocodile

The Ayatolah swears he is not a pedophile

And the Right of Man don't mean a damn here in the age of style

Hey, hey…hey, hey, hey

I said hey…hey, hey hey

Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead

Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead

Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead

Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead

(Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead)

Hello?

(Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead)

Hello?

(Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead)

Is anybody there?

(Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead)

Hello?

I said hey…hey, hey, hey, hey

I said hey…hey, hey, hey, hey

Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead

Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead

(Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead)

(Cell phones ringin' in the pockets of the dead)
