The Lyrics

The Obama administration may reverse this bad decision before you read this. I have included for comparison TOS lyrics on the left side. The preceding or trailing dots serve to centralize the lines; I could have used blank spaces, but that would have hidden the method. The central divider C; is shift \ backslash. I invite others to try this.

. Autumn in New York ...C;... Khalid in New York --
............. Why does it seem so inviting ...C;... Why does it seem not the right thing?
... Autumn in New York ...C;... Khalid wins New York;
It spells the thrill of first-nighting ...C;... Intell can spill, they're indicting!
C;
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds ...C;... Jittery crowds and simmering shrouds ...
. In canyons of steel ...C;... Recall twisted steel;
. They're making me feel - I'm home ...C;... They're making Sheik feel at home.
C;
... It's autumn in New York ...C;... Mohammed in New York's
. That brings the promise of new love ...C;... That stinking promise by Blue Dove.
. Autumn in New York ...C;... Gotta spin New York,
...... Is often mingled with pain ...C;... Where coffins linger with pain.
C;
Dreamers with empty hands ...C;... Dreamers with wimpy hands
..... They sigh for exotic lands ...C;... Won't try him in foreign lands.
......... It's autumn in New York ...C;... They brought him to New York;
........ It's good to live it again ...C;... We should be livid times ten!
C;
Autumn in New York ...C;... Khalid in New York .
.... The gleaming rooftops at sundown ...C;... Will wear his roof-mop and Hun gown.
. Oh, autumn in New York ...C;... So cautious in New York,
It lifts you up when you run down ...C;... Adrift U.S. will be run down. ......
C;
.. Yes, jaded roues and gay divorcees ...C;... Jihadis will praise the way he portrays
Who lunch at the Ritz ...C;... Our bunch as the pits
Will tell you that it's divine ...C;... And calls U.S.A. a swine.
C;
This autumn in New York ...C;... Mohammed in New York
....... Transforms the slums into Mayfair ...C;... Rants for his chums who don't slay fair.
Oh, autumn in New York ...C;... So Khalid in New York ..
.. You'll need no castles in spain ...C;... Will freedom's castle have slain.
C;
Yes, lovers that bless the dark ...C;... This government, on a lark, ....
....... On the benches in Central Park ...C;... Wants court benches in Central Park
Greet autumn in New York ...C;... For Khalid in New York. ...
........ It's good to live it again ...C;... Their mood's to live like 9/10.

Did I forget to mention the estimated $200,000,000 annual cost for these trials?

(cont'd) "shift ' character changed to "C;" here; in future I'll use cap I or lower case l.
In line 17, "beam in" fits TOS better than "wears his".

Ah... the classic Vernon Duke opus. Wonderful song, and your lyrics hit the bullseye for this situation.

Plus, now they're talking millions for security - money is better spent elsewhere.

Interesting way to help out those who don't know TOS. I do, but like the Friendly Turtle's footnotes, I appreciate the extra mile you have gone. Oh yes...hell of a job too. ;D

Thanks, all, for v/c, but nobody promised to try my dual display method. Maybe I should recommend it to BHO; he could put his campaign & SOTU promises on the left and his actual presidential actions on the right.
