Janis Joplin - Listening - Текст песни

And she lies quietly amid her empty room 
And probes her open heart to verify the wound 
She receives the phone call, 
she rewinds the message tape 
She walks to the window 
Lets her sweat pour down the fire escape 
CHORUS: I am listening to you, I am listening to you 
You don?¦? ?° say a word, you don?¦? ?° have to 
Frozen in the hour the thought of going on 
Feels real and unreal until the feeling?¦? ?? gone 
Like a boy the begs for bread the snapshot is all there is 
To remind us of our place and 
return us to the hungry masses 

CHORUS 

And she lies motionless beneath the ceiling fan 
The blades become invisible 
and she becomes intransed 
No one knows the future and no one cares about the past 
But when a star is dying we all cling to what can not last
