Tim Buckley - Down In The Street - Текст песни

Down in the street

There's a gunshot warnin'

Here comes that blue parade

Ready to save the day;

Down in the street

There's a whole block burning

Shout out for rent control

I ride the gang patrol;

Oh it's just another sign

That summer's comin',

City wars and flash floods and tornados,

Festivals for rock and roll season

Beach talk baseball and a handy houshold hymns;


Yes it's true in the U.S. of A.

There's lots of room at the top,

Oh but you can't sit down,

On, no you can't sit down

And don't you know that boudoir

Looks just a ball and chain

Oh, no you can't sit down


All through the night

You hear gunshot warnings

This time it wasn't you,

Paid your dues;


All through the night

You hear the city moaning

But be a tomcat prowling

Baby, your stomach's growling;

Oh, it's just another sign 

That summer's comin',

City wars and flash floods and tornados,

Festivals for rock and roll season

Beach talk baseball and a handy household hymns;
