Clap Hands Lyrics by Billy’s Band

Being Tom Waits (Игры в Тома Вэйтса)

0

Я родился на заднем сидении желтого нью-йоркского
Такси с трехдневной небритостью на щеках и велел
Таксисту двигать прямо на Тайм-скуэр за двойную
Плату. Я был страшно молод, но мне тут же пришлось
Принимать важные решения. И первое - оплатить по
Счётчику. Если мне не изменяет память, это было
Доллар, восемьдесят пять, что ли... А сделать это
Было чертовски сложно, ведь у меня не было
Карманов. Едва я выбрался наружу, как тут же
Принялся искать работу, и единственное, что мне
Удалось найти на тот момент, это была должность
Координатора центра по борьбе с материнством и
Девственностью. По-моему так она называлась. Или
По охране материнства и девственности, что-то...
Бред какой-то... Откуда меня, правда, вскоре уволили
И вот с тех пор я несколько охладел к работе...
Sane, sane, they’re all insane
Fireman’s blind, conductor is lame
A cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands...
Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar
Son of bitch is never coming back here no more
The bird is on the window, the moon is on the pole
Can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands...
I've said steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams
Going back to harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A five-dollar bill inside a palladin’s hat
And nobody was sure where mister knickerbocker’s at
Shine, shine, a roosevelt dime
All the way to baltimore and running out of time
Salvation army seemed to wind up in the hole
They all went to heaven in a little row boat
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands...
Shine, shine, a roosevelt dime
All the way to baltimore and running out of time
Salvation army seemed to wind up in the hole
They all went to heaven in a little row boat
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands...
Clap hands, yeah, clap hands, clap hands, yeah...
