Chamois cleaning all the windows
Singin' songs about Edith Piaf 's soul
And I hear blue strings of No Regret Rien
Cross the street from Cathedral Notre Dame

Meanwhile back in San Francisco
I try hard to make this whole thing blend
And we sit upon this jagged story block
With you my friend

And it's a long way to Buffalo
It's a long way to Belfast city too
And I'm hoping that Joyce won't blow the hoist
'Cause this time they bit off more than they can chew

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
Saint Dominic's preview, Saint Dominic's preview,
Saint Dominic's preview

All the orange boxes are scattered
I guess the Safeway Supermarket in the rain
And ev'rybody feels so determined
Not to feel anyone else's pain

No ones making no commitments
To anybody but themselves
Talkin' behind closed doorways
Trying to get outside at the shelf

And for ev'ry cross country corner
For ev'ry Hank Williams rail-road train that cries
And all chains, badges, flags and emblems
And ev'ry strain on brian and ev'ry eye

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
Saint Dominic's preview, Saint Dominic's preview,
Saint Dominc's preview

All the restaurant tables are completely covered
And the record company has paid out for the wine
You got ev'rything in the world you ever wanted
And right about now your face should wear a smile

That's the way it all should happen
When you're in the state you're in
Have you got your pen and notebook ready?
Think it's about time for us to begin

And meanwhile we're over on a 52nd Street apartment
Socializing' with the winos too
Just to be here and get wet with the jet set
But they was flyin' too high to see my point of view

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
Saint Dominic's preview, Saint Dominic's preview,
Saint Dominic's preview

(You know that) No one's making no commitments
To anybody but themselves,
Hidin' behind closed doorways,
Tryin' to get outside, outside of empty shells

And for every cross-cuttin' country corner,
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried,
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
And every strain on every brain and every eye (?)

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

Saint Dominic's Preview.

And the restaurant tables are completely covered.
The record company has paid out for the wine.
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
Right about now your face should wear a smile.

That's the way it all should happen
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in;
You've got your pen and notebook ready,
I think it's about time, time for us to begin.

And we're over in a 52nd Street apartment,
Socializing with the whino few,
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set.
But they're flying too high to see my point of view.

As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on
As we gaze out on, as we gaze out on

See them freedom marching,
Out on the street, freedom marching.
