Текст песни: City Drops into the Night + перевод

It’s when Billy’s whores are re to seeorkin'

They’re workin’with the skeleton crew

It’s when the sky over Jersey

That sky starts to drain from view

It’s when my woman pawns her voice so So she can make her old excuses sound new

But I just want one clue

'Cause when the city drops into the night

Before the darkness there’s one moment of light

When everything seems clear

The other side, it seems so near

What seemed wrong?

I think it’s gonna be just about right

Before the city drops, the city drops

Into the night

It’s when the door to the River

That door is like 26 miles

It’s when ambitious little girls start

They start to dream about a change in style

It’s when the slick boys got their fingers

They got their fingers in the telephone dial

But I think I’ll just wait a while

Repeat Refrain

It’s when the sneak thieves are checkin'

They’re checkin the alleys for unlocked doors

And Billy’s sister’s gettin’frantic 'cause

'Cause Billy’s sister’s little brother can’t score

It’s when the woman from the dream is. ..

Oh my God! That’s the woman on the floor

Each promise was just one promise more

Repeat Refrain

It’s when Teddy’s ghost is on the roof

Beatin’his drum

And Teddy’s best friend is two blocks East

And he’s makin’Teddy’s ex-girlfriend come

You know, they mistook Teddy’s blind trust. ..

Just to prove that Teddy was dumb. ..

But listen, you know, I think they are both just scum

Repeat Refrain

It’s when the body at the bottom,

That body is my own reflection

But it ain’t hip to sink that low

Unless you’re gonna make a resurrection

They’re always gonna come to your door

They’re gonna say, «It's just a routine inspection»

But what you get when you open your door

What you get is just another injection

And there’s always gonna be one more

With just a little bit less until the next one

They wait in shadows and steal the light from your eyes

To them vision’s just some costly infection

But listen, you should come with me

I’m the fire, I’m the fire’s reflection

I’m just a constant warning to take the other direction

Mister, I am your connection

Repeat Refrain
