Paroles
She was trapped in my peripheral vision like a long
lost silhouette
She was fine and dirty and curly and loose
And from that sacred moment when the ends of our
fingers met
I felt a shiver go down into the heels of my cowboy
boots
See I was cornered like a rat in a prewar drugstore
raid
And I was ranting and raving and reciting the raunchy
blues
Yeah she knew a thing or two so I didn’t have much to say
She said I’m here my dear to deliver the good news
II.
You see I felt my life was already over but my moment
had just begun
So I saw my chance and I grabbed it as best as I could
So I lay down in her sweet smelling soulfully seductive
quicksand
Though the ghost of romance stood behind me and might
have given me a push
We had no friends in common except mister and misses
happenstance
And I was talking more and more about movies and books
Then I ran out of words and I asked her well can I have
this dance
And she thought that was funny and gave me a very, very
special look
III.
Well the parade was passing and I was marching right
behind the majorette
She was throwing her baton much higher than the oldest
oak tree
There was such symbolism I thought Christ had risen and
I just had to forget
And start over again from the day I stood at my daddy’s
knew
When he said son there’s a few things here that I gotta
tell you
And he bent down low to whisper in my childish ear
When just then a squadron of jet fighters passed right
over my head
And he sai promise me boy you’ll always keep that
thought dear
IV.
Well I guess I forgot more now than I’ll ever remember
About why you plant roses when a rainbow is just at its
end
About why you shouldn’t make any new plans till say
mid-December
Keep the new year new as long as you can
Here’s to the crazies who make a dreary day worth
living
See them laughing at phonies and frauds who believe so much in themselves
Because among them I believe is where the magic it keeps itself well hidden
From those politicos who would steal the ring out of a church bell
So I went back to her every night till I was totally
addicted
And she knew it too and believe me that was the very
best part
Sure the newness gets old but she sure knew how to fix
it And soon I was sporting a good as new broken in head
Well we’ve fought about friends and we’ve argued about
the weather
And whether or not we turn left or right when we go out
at night
I’ve misused every sacred word that I could remember
Except for love cause that just wouldn’t be right
VI.
On Romeo street they’re selling bedroom sets and
mirrors
And couches covered in the most luxurious velour
And one day I lay down in the softness but I saw where
the fear lives
So I turned around and marched back onto the kiling
floor
Yeah Romeo street is twisting its way out into the
suburbs
But tonight the trade is all running the other way
Its a madness my dear that keeps us out here in the
moonlight
Its a madness I hope that never ever goes away
Traduction des paroles
Parce que parmi eux je crois est où la magie il se garde bien caché
De ces politicos qui voleraient l'anneau d'une cloche d'Église
Donc je suis retourné à elle tous les soirs jusqu'à ce que je sois totalement
accro
Et elle le savait aussi, et croyez-moi, c'était le très
la meilleure partie
Bien sûr la nouveauté vieillit mais elle savait comment réparer
il et bientôt je arborais un bon comme neuf cassé dans la tête
Eh bien nous nous sommes disputés pour des amis et nous nous sommes disputés sur
météo
Et si nous nous tournons à gauche ou à droite quand on sort
la nuit
J'ai mal utilisé tous les mots sacrés dont je me souviens
Sauf pour la cause de l'amour ce ne serait pas juste
VI.
Sur Romeo street ils vendent des ensembles de chambre et
miroir
Et des canapés recouverts du velours le plus luxueux
Et un jour je me suis allongé dans la douceur mais j'ai vu où
la peur de la vie
Alors je me suis retourné et je suis retourné sur le kiling
étage
Oui Romeo street se tord dans le
banlieue
Mais ce soir le commerce tourne dans l'autre sens
C'est une folie ma chère qui nous maintient ici dans le
lune
C'est une folie j'espère que cela ne disparaîtra jamais
