Текст песни: Escape From New York + перевод

Stars are falling from the sky

And virgins all from the parapet

With arms outstretched, they have leapt

They are tired of waiting

For a groom they know will never come

Now that the King of Kings has gone out of his head

He’s whispering to fools in their beds

And giving them the power

And it’s late, but it’s not too late

We can still make our escape

I’ve tunneled beneath the subway line

So take a last look from the corner of your eye

At the city lights all fading

Now that the sky has come crashing to the ground

And we’ve played back all the black boxes we found

On the corner kids are moving to the sound

Of history repeating

So say goodbye to all that you love best

And hope we find it all again somewhere out west

For in these skyscrapers united we will stand

Only in our isolation

And I’m high, but I’m not that high

If we had a car, I think I could still drive

From here to the Berlin Wall

Or the bottom of the ocean

And it’s late, but it’s not too late

We can still make our escape

And though it’s sad, it’s not that sad

For soon the memories of the hard times that we’ve had

Will be like city lights all fading
