Текст песни: Palookaville + перевод

This place has changed since we were the kings

The shops torn down where we pawned our rings

8 by 10's no one sees no more

Like Telly Savalas hangin' by the door, Palookaville

Well, you can’t tell your baby how a left jab feels

The first you take rocks you on your heels

Soon you’re back in the car up for the long ride home

The canvas is splattered with your blood and bone, Palookaville

You coulda been somebody

Coulda been somebody to see

You coulda been somebody

Coulda been somebody like me

The crowd was dressed in leathers and lace

They scream for more, why you work this fast?

Then they tore up their programs and they jumped to their feet

Whatd’ya say, we go get somethin' to eat? Over in Palookaville

Palookaville cast off by crooks

A punch drunk fighter with two left hooks

You only blame yourself for the way it went

You threw away your chances now you’re sweatin' the rent

All in Palookaville

You coulda been somebody

Coulda been somebody to see

You coulda been somebody

Coulda been somebody like me

Now you’re one of the crowd walkin' where they walk

There’s a new kid hoppin' and talkin' the talk

But you know what’s it’s like fallin' off’a the map

Your heaven sent treasure got sprung like a trap

Over Palookaville

Now there’s a boy in the dark he’s got a ways to go

Underneath the covers with a radio

He’s tunin' in a fight from Bangor Maine

Once you catch the bug it’s never the same, Palookaville

You coulda been somebody

Coulda been somebody to see

You coulda been somebody

Coulda been somebody like me
