The Only Joy In Town歌词

[00:19.24]I want to paint a picture
[00:21.24]
[00:23.74]Botticelli style
[00:24.99]
[00:27.93]Instead of Venus on a clam
[00:30.11]
[00:31.05]I'd paint this flower child
[00:32.80]
[00:35.86]You are the air my flowers breathe
[00:38.86]
[00:39.68]He calls and the ladies turn around
[00:42.80]
[00:44.74]On the first day of spring
[00:46.18]
[00:47.68]I'm looking at the only joy around
[00:51.37]
[00:53.22]He's the only joy around
[00:55.79]
[00:56.47]Botticelli black boy
[00:58.16]The only joy I found
[00:59.54]
[01:00.72]Botticelli black boy
[01:02.22]The only joy in town
[01:04.16]
[01:05.97]The Spanish steps are crowded
[01:13.54]
[01:16.04]Bunch of bodies brooding there
[01:17.66]
[01:18.78]Dead pan side-walk vendors
[01:22.66]
[01:23.41]Hustling vacant stares
[01:24.94]
[01:25.57]Making all the more exceptional
[01:30.87]
[01:31.93]This fool in a flower crown
[01:34.83]
[01:35.77]On the first day of spring
[01:38.46]
[01:39.84]I'm looking at the only joy in town
[01:43.71]
[01:45.52]He's the only joy around
[01:48.15]

[02:06.40]Botticelli black boy
[02:07.40]
[02:14.96]Botticelli black boy
[02:16.15]
[02:21.78]The Botticelli black boy
[02:23.77]
[02:24.71]With the fuchsias in his hair
[02:27.59]
[02:29.96]Is breathing in women like oxygen
[02:33.59]On the Spanish stairs
[02:34.77]
[02:37.77]In my youth I would have followed him
[02:41.71]
[02:42.59]All through this terra-cotta town
[02:44.96]
[02:46.71]On the first day of spring
[02:48.21]
[02:49.28]We'd dance and sing
[02:51.27]And be the only joy around
[02:53.21]
[02:54.90]We'd be the only joy around
[02:57.28]
[02:58.47]Botticelli black boy
[02:59.90]The only joy in town
[03:01.47]
[03:02.09]Botticelli black boy
[03:04.09]He's the only joy I've found all day
[03:06.97]
[03:07.78]At night these streets are empty
[03:15.84]
[03:18.46]Where does everybody go
[03:19.65]
[03:22.47]Where are the brash and tender rooms
[03:24.84]
[03:26.03]In Roman candle glow
[03:27.53]
[03:29.22]Where are Fellini's circus
[03:33.65]
[03:34.59]La Dolce Vita clowns
[03:36.53]
[03:37.41]On the first day of spring
[03:40.41]
[03:41.09]I'm looking at the only joy in town
[03:45.78]
[03:47.84]The only joy around
[03:49.66]
[03:50.84]Botticelli black boy
[03:52.28]The only joy I found
