ringing hollow

The Rolling Stones

Well, I was madly in love with you
Before we ever met
I saw all your movies
I smoked your cigarettes
I drove down your highway
To the mountain top
I spent all my money
Putting quarters in your old jukebox

It s ringing hollow
It s ringing deep
It s ringing loud
And there s always a scoundrel
Trying to whip up the crowd
What do you think about that?
The clocks never gonna turn back
Lady Liberty don t look so good
When she s wearing a frown

And I wandered the cities
And I hit all the bars
I drove through the suburbs
And I lounged in the malls
Let the dreamers get the dream they want
My favorite joke
So pass around the fenty
Pass around the coke

It s ringing hollow
It s ringing deep
It s ringing loud
And there s always a king
Trying to pick up the crown
But what do you think about that?
They took away the welcome mat
Lady Liberty don t look so good
When there s a tear in her gown

And I drove through the desert
With the dust in my face
And I lived outside of Dallas
Rundown shack of a place
I was handcuffed and arrested
It don t make no sense
Went up to the White House
Shook hands with the president

Well, it s ringing hollow
It s ringing deep
It s ringing loud
When voices are stifled
I wanna scream out loud
Liberty s not looking too well
She s got another crack in her bell
Lady Liberty don t look so good
When she s wearing a scowl
What do you think about that?
What do you think about that?
There s no turning back
Buy me a brand new hat
