Текст песни: Arc Of Bar + перевод

Hustlers, whores, in rooms galore

A sinking city’s stink

An arc of bar, a flesh bazaar

Of diamonds, dust, and drink

The jukebox jamming, the lions lambing

The jokers doing the dealing

And queens are over jacks

Remember that or catch a beating

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

The night had come into her own

And I made the arc of bar my home

Beneath my clothes, just a bag of bones

Under my skin, just skeletons

I was rolling like a pair of dice

With one for laws and one for lies

But all this, I tried to hide

Behind a glaze of sweat and fire

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

To some, a mistress

To some, a muse

Something soft for something blue

She sussed my needs out of my dreams

And baptized me in flesh that seethes

And then she lay me like a baby

On a bed of Spanish moss

And for her love, I would help the devil

To steal Christ right off the cross

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

I lay blame on the arc of bar

And the hundred proof in me

But the arc, it blames the air

Hundred percent humidity

Well at least those damned mosquitoes

That fall flounder to the flood

Get a thimble full of whiskey with their paltry pint of blood

My blood

Yeah

(The sun is sound asleep, baby)

Yeah

(So set your spirit free, baby)

Yeah

(Your secrets are safe with me, baby)

Yeah

(So stay all night)

This port of call

It ain’t no port at all

But cap my cup, and anchors up

The jokers, they tease another hand

But they’re out of luck ‘cause I’m out of town

And the sun, it’s like an omen

Goading me toward the gospel

But I got no plans at all

Except a drink as soon as possible

Yeah

(The sun is sound asleep, baby)

Yeah

(So set your spirit free, baby)

Yeah

(Your secrets are safe with me, baby)

Yeah

(So stay all night)

Some men offer confession

For their souls and grace of god

For others women, women are for mercy

And mosquitoes their applause

Yeah, some men offer confession

For their souls and grace of god

For others women, women are for mercy

And mosquitoes their applause

Yeah

(The sun is sound asleep, baby)

Yeah

(So set your spirit free, baby)

Yeah

(Your secrets are safe with me, baby)

Yeah

(So stay all night)

Yeah

(The sun is sound asleep, baby)

Yeah

(So set your spirit free, baby)

Yeah

(Your secrets are safe with me, baby)

Yeah

(So stay all night)
