Текст песни: Trudy + перевод

And my friend comes in

Seen old Barry on the wall

Said you oughta have an asterisk up there

So I painted on the wall

With the paintbrush in my hand

An asterisk but what the hell

He’s still up there

I am painting my mistakes

Underneath your soft embrace

They’re all marching to Pretoria but my dear

The Colts are on TV

And I guess we’ll have to see

How it goes, how it is

In the Christian New Year

And I have an escape route

For my life, for my time

Just one push of this button over here

New clothes, new face

New name, vanished with no trace

And a fine apartment on Cape Fear

I am painting something warm

To ride us through this storm

And the days fade and the car’s in second gear

And all the questions you been saving

For the next electric wave

Will all be answered

In the Christian New Year

Trudy Trudy Trudy

I’m still on active duty

And you know what happens when you’re AWOL

If you’re fragile you get dropped

If you’re tough they’ll help you up

And maybe though

In a little while

Every time a bird flies by

Tears well up in my eye

I can feel the rain from a couple mornings down

Out in the pasture the cow’s in heat

Someone gonna sweep her off her feet

Probably one of them bulls

Wander out here from town

I am driving to my grave

Sure as Moses was a slave

But I’m happy as long as I can steer

I am dreading the disease

But El Paso’s on its knees

And there’s still days and days

Til the Christian New Year
