Tim Buckley - Nighthawkin' - Текст песни

I was a nighthawkin' in my taxi 

On a cruise below the deadline 

My fare was a shaky ol' lush 

So I kicked it over and took off 

Then he whipped out this switch blade 

Straight outta nowhere level to my throat 

He said "You ever been over to the war boy" 

I said "Man I was a combat paratrooper daddy" 

Well then he slump back cool and he pocket that steel 

He said "Take me down to Fourth and Main" 

Ah that paratroop bluff always cools oh the red eyed geezers down 

Man that last block that cat was singing 

Man he was sittin' in the backseat singing to me this song 

I got my BAR boy 

I got my M1 on my hip right 

You better listen mr president 

Oh boy don't you mess up with my war, boy 

I wanna do I wanna do 

Lord I wanna do the Blood Boogaloo 

I'm just a Redneck son of a gun 

I wanna kill me a gook before dawn 

Ah, night hawkin' for my change
