Baby this town rips the bones from your back.
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap.
Bruce Springsteen
Cлайд с цитатойI was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt,
I was unrecognizable to myself,
I saw my reflection in a window,
I didn't know my own face,
Oh brother, are you gonna leave me wastin' away
On the streets of Philadelphia?
Ain't no angel gonna greet me,
It's just you and I, my friend,
My clothes don't fit me no more,
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip this skin
She'll let you come just far enough,
So you know she's really there.
She'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say,
She's got a secret garden,
Where everything you want,
Where everything you need,
Will always stay
A million miles away.
I walked the avenue 'til my legs felt like stone,
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone,
At night I could hear the blood in my veins,
Black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia
Well for a while I've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
Fear's a powerful thing, baby,
It can turn your heart black you can trust.
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust.
Everybody needs a place to rest,
Everybody wants to have a home,
Don't make no difference what nobody says,
Ain't nobody like to be alone.
The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake,
I can feel myself fading away,
So receive me, brother, with your faithless kiss,
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia?
Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy.
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company.
