In matching blue raincoats our shoes were our show boats We kicked around From stairway to station we made a sensation With the gadabout crowdAnd oh, what a bargain we're two easy targets For the old men at the off-tracks Who've paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars Which we squirreled away in our rat trap hotel by the freeway And we slept-in SundaysYour parents were anxious your cool was contagious At the old school You left without leaving a note for your grieving Sweet mother, while your brother was so cruel And here in the alleys your spirits were ralliedAs you learned quick to make a fast buck In bathrooms and barrooms on dumpsters and heirlooms We bit our tongues sucked our lips into our lungs Till we were falling such was our callingAnd here in our hollow we fuse like a family But I will not mourn for you So take up your makeup and pocket your pills awayWe're kings among runaways on the bus mall We're down on the bus mallAmong all the urchins and old Chinese merchants of the old town We reigned at the pool hall with one iron cue ball And we never let the bastards get us down And we laughed off the quick tricks the old men with limp dicksOn the colonnades of the waterfront park As 4 in the morning came on, cold and boring we huddled close In the bus stop enclosure enfolding our hands tightly holdingBut here in our hollow we fuse like a family But I will not mourn for you So take up your makeup and pocket your pills awayWe're kings among runaways on the bus mall We're down on the bus mall We're down on the bus mall Down on the bus mall, oh ooh oh
Это интересно:Главный поэт-песенник и лидер группы The Decemberists Колин Мелой (Colin Meloy) родом из славного города Портленда. Когда-то в середине 90-х он еще играл alt-country в захудалой группе Tarkio. Группа, так и не отведав славы распалась, после того, как два их прекрасно сделанных альбома не окупили себя и, можно сказать, провалились. Но ничего, это было только начало.Долгие творческие поиски в итоге вылились в... продолжение
