Down from the depths of nowhere You know you'll hear them coming. And no one, no one can stop them. The marching guitars. I saw them in the city Coming up an alley there. A whole crowd of people stood on the sidewalk and stared. Down through the streets Through hotels and through bars The marching guitars The marching guitars And no ear shall go untouched There's no place to hide Stay inside For the marching guitars And no one knows who they They come from afar. They do what they have to do And turn into big stars. And no one can stop them The marching guitars. I saw them in the city They were all around There must have been about a million It was a deafening sound
