Текст песни: Resurrection Mary + перевод

In 1935 I was living in paradise, I had a friend up in Cicero

We used to go out to the track, we’d knock a few whiskeys back

I’d lose my shirt and then I would lose my way home

I was driving my Stutz Black Hawk through Justice in the dark

When suddenly the blood froze in my veins

She was standing by the road in an incandescent glow

My heart stood still, my foot slammed on the brakes

She said «Please, please would you dignify my wish?

I’m trying to get to Heaven, could you tell me where that is?»

On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white

I caught my first sign of Resurrection Mary

I was trembling like a leaf, I was scared beyond belief

After all my conscience ain’t that clear

I used to work for Mickey Finn, I did the numbers for Big Jim

Perhaps my day of reckoning lies here?

I said «Please, please, I would dignify your wish

But when it comes to Heaven, I’m just a little bit amateurish.»

On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white

I cheated time with Resurrection Mary

And I felt tears form in my eyes

For the first time I felt something deep inside

And the first time I saw angels high in the air

For the first time in my life

And I said «Mary, go to the light, it’s gonna be alright.»

I got down on my knees, I said «Sweet Mary, please

Dignify these wishes before you run

Will you tell him I’ve reformed, will you tell him I’m reborn?»

She closed her eyes and then she spoke in tongues

I said «Please, please, tell me what he said.»

She said «You must die

The day before the devil knows you’re dead.»

On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white

I waved goodbye

On a wild Chicago night, oh with a wind howling white

I lost sight

Of Resurrection Mary

Of Resurrection Mary

Of Resurrection Mary

Of Resurrection Mary

With the naked eye

With the naked eye

With the naked eye

With the naked eye

There are a number of differences to the lyrics in the live version as

performed at the Mick Ronson Memorial Concert at London’s Hammersmith Apollo,

29th April 1994

In 1935 I was living in paradise, I had a friend up in Cicero

We used to go out to the track and knock a few whiskeys back

I’d lose my shirt and then I’d lose my way home

I was driving my Stutz back home through Justice in the dark

When suddenly the blood froze in my veins

She was standing by the road in an incandescent glow

My heart said 'run' but my foot slammed on the brakes

She said «Please, please would you justify my wish?

I’m trying to get to Heaven, will you tell me where that is?»

On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white

I caught my first sign of Resurrection Mary, RM, RM, RM

I was trembling like a leaf, I was scared beyond belief

After all my conscience is not clear

I used to work with Mickey Finn, I did the numbers for Big Jim

Perhaps my day of reckoning was here?

I said «Please, please, I’d love to dignify your wish

But when it comes to Heaven, I’m just a little bit amateurish.»

On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white

I cheated time with Resurrection Mary, RM, RM, RM

Yeah the tears were forming in my eyes

For the first time, I felt something deep inside

And for the first time I saw angels high in the air

For the first time in my life

I said «Mary, go to the light, it’s gonna be alright.»

I got down on my knees and I said «Sweet Mary, please

Justify the wishes before you run

Will you tell him I’ve reformed, will you tell him I’m reborn?»

She closed her eyes and then she spoke in tongues

I said «Please, please, will you tell me what he said?»

She said «You must die

The day before the devil knows you’re dead.»

On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white

Well I waved goodbye to Ressurection Mary, RM, RM, RM

On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white

I lost sight

Of Resurrection Mary

Of Resurrection Mary

Of Resurrection Mary

Of Resurrection Mary

With the naked eye

With the naked eye

With the naked eye

With the naked eye
