Order 1081 David Byrne (Ft. Maria-Christina Oliveras, Melody Butiu, Natalie Cortez, Original Cast of Here Lies Love & Renée Albulario)

[ENSEMBLE 1]
A bomb went off this morning
Raining bodies on TV
They are blaming the insurgents
They are blocking off the streets
And the smoke is rising slowly
From the barrel of a gun
The solution to disruption: Order 1081

[ENSEMBLE 2]
Now the sunsets are incredible across Manila Bay
You can hear the bombers landing at the U.S. Air Force base
And somewhere in the distance, far beyond the setting sun
They will sign a proclamation: Order 1081

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[ENSEMBLE 3]
Now we live down by the water
In a shack that’s made of wood
And the bankers need to huddle
So they need some extra room
We will find us somewhere better
There’s enough for everyone
Got a perfect explanation
Order 1081
