Текст песни: Rosemont + перевод

Oh I know everybody here’s been dying to get back to Rosemont Street

But that road was made of flesh and now it’s dead and now it’s beat

The sun burnt past every rock across the street from that cracked lot

Detroit air just breaths away and that sun died in a petrified way

Onto the driveway, table napkins blown away

Into the alleyway and summer is the strangest time of day

I’ve seen beauty far upstate

A century is all it takes

To turn a homestead to the ground

But there is one thing that I found

I ain’t seen these things in vain

And deep outside the siren’s wailing far from me on the still night

And through the yards the spores are sailing on the toes of those dreams in

flight

To the north… back and forth

Our moments make us off-ramp islands where language tramps and falls to silence

Oh to forget… the T.V. set

And images of stranger feelings rape our walls and wallpaper our ceilings

I’ve seen beauty far upstate

A century is all it takes

To turn a homestead to the ground

But there is one thing that I found

I ain’t seen these things in vain

I was born to the lawnmower’s crying

And the drying of our gilded lot

Trust in God when our roofs are sighing, again

And the hill is crying thanks a lot

Watertowers are drunker than grandfathers

But they’re equally happy

All that’s golden was once eternally unfoldin'

Now dusktime is the glimpse to see it…

But I’m a burstin' piece, a questionin' priest, like a politician out east

I’ve seen swimming pools full of darkness, on the brightest moonlit nights

And I’ve seen fairgrounds, heard their sounds, and in that ground lies just

what I’ve found

Basements are now all we got with decade shades and days that rot

Landbirds flew over my head, flag at half mast no one is dead

Oh I know that that’s not true, but we’re so desp’rate, what else can we do?

I’ve seen beauty far upstate

A century is all it takes

To turn a homestead to the ground

But there is one thing that I found

I ain’t seen these things in vain

And everybody dying here has made it back to Rosemont Street

The roses shake, the sidewalk aches and Detroit air is hissing at our feet
