Song | Romeo Is Bleeding |
Artist | Tom Waits |
Album | Greatest Hits |
作词 : Waits | |
romeo is bleeding but not so as you'd notice | |
he's over on 18hh street as usual | |
lookin' so hard against the hood of his car | |
and puttin' out a cigarette in his hand | |
and for all the pachucos at the pumps | |
at romeros paint and body | |
they all seein' how far they can spit | |
well it was just another night | |
but how they're huddled in the brake lights of a 58 belair | |
and listenin' to how romeo killed a sherrif his knife | |
and they all jump when they hear the sirens | |
but romeo just laughs and says | |
all the racket in the world ain't never gonna | |
save that coppers ass | |
he'll never see another summertime for gunnin' down my brother | |
and leavin' him like a dog beneath a car without his knife | |
and romeo says hey man gimme a cigarette | |
and they all reach for their pack | |
and frankie lights it for him and pats him on the back | |
and throws bottle at a milk truck | |
and as it breaks he grabs his nuts | |
and they all know they could be just like romeo | |
if they only had the guts | |
but romeo is bleeding but nobody can tell | |
and he sings along with the radio | |
with a bullet in his chest | |
and he combs back his fenders | |
and they all agree its clear | |
that every thing is cool now that romeos here | |
but romeo is bleeding | |
and he winces now and then and he leans against | |
the car doors and feels the blood in his shoes | |
and someones crying in the phone booth | |
at the 5 points by thestore | |
romeo starts his engine | |
and wipes the blood off the door | |
and he brodys through the signal | |
with the radio full blast | |
leavin' the boys there hikin' up there chinos | |
and they all try to stand like romeo | |
beneath the moon cut like a sickle | |
and they're talkin' now in spanish about there hero | |
but romeo is bleeding as he gives the man his ticket | |
and he climbs to the balcony at the movies | |
and he'll die without a wimper | |
like every heros dream | |
just an angel with a bullet | |
and cagney on the screen |
