Twistin in The Wind — текст песни (David Byrne)

Now washington, dcs

A funny little town

The further you look into it

The further things stick out



You oughta be ashamed

You oughta be destroyed

Ill chop you into little bits

And feed you to my dogs



Well well well well well

What have we got here?

What have we got now?

Hey hey hey hey hey

Twistin in the wind

Twistin all night long



Now can you picture this?

A taste of what will be

The weatherman is wrong again

It looks like rain to me



I heard the whistle blow

The train has jumped the track

The mighty engines outa gas

Bureaucratic heart attack



My sister likes the boys

They kinda like her, too

My mama says, "be careful"

Sister says, "now, that aint cool"



My daddy fell in love

Down at the factory

And me, I like to sit around

Get high, and watch tv



Well well well well well

What have we got here?

What have we got now?

Hey hey hey hey hey

Twistin in the wind

Twistin all night long



Now I can take a joke

Im laughin at myself

I faked my way through college

And I faked my way through sex



Ive been falling down too long

Ive been bangin up my head

And if I could stay on my feet

Id probly go right back again



Now harrys got a gun

And he just turned fourteen

He dresses like a gangster

And hes livin on the street



They kicked him in the balls

They shaved off all his hair

They put a current through his head

And left him lyin there



Well well well well well

What have we got here?

What have we got now?

Hey hey hey hey hey

Twistin in the wind

Twistin all night long



They say that crime dont pay

The judge does not agree

cause if you got the money

He will surely set you free



Ill watch you burn in hell

Ill see you in your grave

Id like to watch you suffer for

The evil that you made



Hi-dee hi-dee ho

What a funny clown

The fat man he fell off the wall

And he cant get up again



Its time to say goodbye

Its time to say goodnight

Whoever is the last one out

Well, please turn out the light
