Текст песни: Not Gone Tonight + перевод

Still with no name to his name — and not much money to it either

Cop light through the broken blinds, alarm clock starts its stutter

Little John will awake at once, violently throw back the covers

Shatter one word with another

Will you be gone tomorrow?

Bolt up at the dawn-break door, rumble of a dumptruck

Gutter gait down a wind-swept street — incantation for a late bus dumb luck

No such dumb luck!

Sound as an ancient schedule, ringing of a church bell

Shot off, got off, caught off, bought off — time down a wish well

You keep blowing higher — you’re the everlasting kite

You’ll be gone tomorrow, but your not gone tonight

«Hey — hey, look! Little John alive at long last, burns bright like a summer!»

Throws his shoulder up against the mold inside the old factory for rubber

Approaching the hour you exchange your labor for your lover…

Then learning in a cold sweat moonlighting in a quintet

Most minds, most mouths, tongue-tied. Not him, flipped on by the riverside:

Slide, slip, shake her a little smile — lit, fired, takes to a sudden sky —

You keep blowing higher — you’re the everlasting kite

You’ll be gone tomorrow, but your not gone tonight!
