GA man walks Ddown the street,
its a Cstreet in a Dstrange world,
Gmaybe its the DThird World,

Ghe doesnt 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,CD
Ghe looks arouDnd, around,
he sees Cangels in Dthe architecture,
Gspinning in Dinfinity,
he says CAmen and DHallelujah!
GIf youll be my Dbodyguard
CI can be your Dlong Glost Dpal,CD
GI can call you DBetty,
and CBetty when you Dcall me
you can Gcall me Al.DCD
