Текст песни: I Dreamed I Saw Lou Reed Last Night + перевод

I dreamed I saw Lou Reed last night

He was stuck on the same bill as me

With David Nance and the Renderers

At the Cow Haus in Tallahassee

He said, «When no audience is there to hear you, kid

You’ve got to play as if there is

Because the best lack all conviction

And everybody else thinks they’re alone up on the bridge»

And then he addressed the darkness

He tapped the microphone and said, «Listen-

Let’s raise a glass to Jackson Browne’s roadies

Who finally went home and took that goddamn piano with them»

Then the spotlight went out, he turned up his amp

Slowly closed his eyes and started

He played the solo on 'I Heard Her Call My Name'

The he said, «This next one is for the departed»

Have you seen that vigilante man?

Have you seen that vigilante man?

Have you seen that vigilante man?

I’ve been hearing his name all over the land

Well, what is a vigilante man?

Tell me, what is a vigilante man?

Has he got a gun or will it be a chokehold with his hands?

Is that a vigilante man?

Oh, why does a vigilante man?

Tell me, why does a vigilante man

Carry that sawed off shotgun in his hands?

Would he shoot his brother and sister down?

Have you seen George Zimmerman?

Have you seen George Zimmerman?

Have you seen that vigilante man?

I’ve been hearing his name all over the land

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?
