Bad Day in Bombay (Parts 1 & 2)

(Verse)
The silence was louder
Than China on New Year's Day
The closeness was closer
Than lovers from far away
The hotness was hotter
Than August in east L.A
The stillness was broken
By circling birds of prey
The doggy was twitching
An ear that was itching
While eating a piece of hay
And Cupid was dreaming
And suddenly leaning
To tumble from where he lay

(Chorus)
Bad day in Bombay
Bad day in Bombay
Bad day in Bombay

(Verse)
An agent who spied her
Who slowly moved down the road
The tеnsion was tighter
So tight that it could be bowed
Appеars like the curtain
Is lifting from the ground
The only thing certain
Where certainty could be found
A fly hit a window
A girl at the bingo
Had vanished without a trace
A stew that was stewin’
Something was brewin'
Bubble away with haste

(Chorus)
Bad day in Bombay
Bad day in Bombay
Bad day in Bombay

(Verse)
A bell rang to waken
A prisoner in his cell
A group of reporters
Came out of the new hotel
? ? ?
A man read his wife's goodbye
Today, like all others
Some people are going to die

[Instrumental for all of part 2]
