                        |  | Sting - Jeremiah Blues (Part 1) lyrics
 It was midnight, midnight at noon
 Everyone talked in rhyme
 Everyone saw the big clock ticking
 Nobody knew, nobody knew the time
 
 Elegant debutantes smiled
 Everyone fought for dimes
 Newspapers screamed for blood
 It was the best of times
 
 Every place around the world it seemed the same
 Can't hear the rhythm for the drums
 Everybody wants to look the other way
 When something wicked this way comes
 
 Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree
 Sometimes I stare
 Sometimes it's me
 
 Everyone told the truth
 All that we heard were lies
 A pope claimed that he'd been wrong in the past
 This was a big surprise
 
 Everyone fell in love
 A cardinal's wife was jailed
 The government saved a dying planet
 When popular icons failed
 
 Every place around the world it seemed the same
 Can't hear the rhythm for the drums
 Everybody wants to look the other way
 When something wicked this way comes
 
 Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree
 Sometimes I stare
 Sometimes it's me
 Sometimes I stare
 Sometimes it's me
