Текст песни: Living Bones of Mayor Jones + перевод

Now gather my children, Let me tell you a tale

Of a man lost his soul on his way down to Hell

He once lived as mayor, this city he built

But he gave it all up for the dirt and the filth

He walked off the job at a quarter to four

«What about your bills?» I won’t pay anymore

He gave it all up and you’re asking why?

«It's better to stand than to lay down and die.»

He’s grown much wiser in his old age

You can’t be corrupt if there’s no one to pay

I left my prime position

For this sunless disposition

Nobody will recognize me now

That I am living my life underground

I wanted to see how very bad it can be

Amongst the broken men on the streets

Life underground is a very hard place

There are men with no hearts, who have fallen from grace

So tonight I will lay down to sleep on the tracks

Tonight I will slumber and never come back

I’ll spare you the details and tell you know more

But I’ll die a free man, not a government whore

I left my prime position

For this sunless disposition

Nobody will recognize me now

That I am living my life underground
