Ringing Hollow
(Jagger/Richards)

 

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 'round the fenty

Pass 'round 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

Yeah

 

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, yeah

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

Yeah, yeah

What do you think about that? Yeah

What do you think about that?

Yeah

 

There's no turning back, mm

Buy me a brand new hat

Mm, oh yeah, wooh, ooh, mm

 

Wooh ooh.....
