GA man walks Ddown the street,
its a Cstreet in a Dstrange world,
Gmaybe its the DThird World,
maybe Cits his firsDt time around,
Ghe doesn't speDak the language,
he holdCs no currenDcy,
Ghe is a foreiDgn man,
he is Csurrounded Dby
Gthe sound, Dthe sound,
cattle Cin the markDetplace,
Gscatterlings Dand orphanages,
C D
Ghe looks arouDnd, around,
he sees Cangels in Dthe architecture,
Gspinning in Dinfinity,
he says CAmen and DHallelujah!
GIf you'll be my Dbodyguard
CI can be your Dlong Glost Dpal,
C D
GI can call you DBetty,
and CBetty when you Dcall me
you can Gcall me Al.D
