Beatles Zebra Crossing

This was the holy land when they were more popular than God

Upon this bridge of black and white their sacred naked feet have trod

Seers and angels, they saw what no one saw before

And now with closed eyes they walk from shore to shining shore



[Chorus]

But is it still the Beatles' zebra crossing?

Is it still the Beatles' zebra crossing? [Repeat: x3]



And now the faithful come here as pilgrims to a shrine

They walk the stations of the crossing

Their feet are bare their eyes are blind

Friends with cameras click to record the ritual

And back home all around the world the same picture hangs upon their walls



[Chorus]



But history moves mysteriously and nothing stays here for too long

They scorch the zebra from the road and paint a new one further on

But it still means what it meant then and it still looks much like it did

The pilgrims take their pictures still, its guilty secrets they stay hid



[Chorus]



That used to be a warehouse then

And this was all bombed in the war

And here the last wild boar was slain

And there my father met my ma

This was the place where I was born

And in the sixties this was hip

And right through here the Romans came

And this was where it all began



[Chorus]



Beatles zebra crossing [Repeat: x2]

The Beatles zebra crossing

Beatles zebra crossing [Repeat: x5]
