Текст песни: The Beaten Side of Town + перевод

I woke up this morning from a crazy dream:

The Earth was a turning ball of fire

Satan and the Pilgrims had wiped the scene

And I became their twisted gun for hire

Don’t let 'em getcha, boy, now use your head

The lights they’re coming 'round again

«Run like a demon, boy,» is what they said

And then began to count from one to ten

So now I’m tryin' to get out of the city

You know where I can be found:

The beaten side of town…

Won’t never let you down

I woke up this morning from a crazy dream:

The Earth was a burning ball of fire

I crawled right inside the spaces in-between

A miracle of science to admire

But everybody knows the way the story goes:

She’ll love you once and leave you once again

The wind sends a shiver from your head to toes

Whispers that you’ve reached your living end

So now I’m tryin' to get out of the city

You know where I can be found:

The beaten side of town…

Don’t never let me down

I woke up this morning from a crazier dream:

The Earth was a churning ball of fire

The Dragunovs were sniping

As I swam upstream

And then I saw a temple with a spire

There was a sign saying «Welcome all you deists, agnostics, and Buddhists,

Muslims and Christians, Caucasians, junkies and wrecker-heads, blue-lights and

deadbeats, homos and heteros and Negroes and down-lows

Speed-freaks and tweakers, pimps without sneakers, the handy the pure and the

atheist Nehru, and the peoples from countries in far-away places,

stupid ideas that the public embraces.»

We all were invited with mostly resignation

But that was only a dream…

The beaten side of town

And now I’m goin' down
