THE LEDGE — текст песни (The Replacements)

All eyes look up to me
High above the filthy streets
Heed no bullhorn when it calls
Watch me fly and die, watch me fall

I`m the boy they can`t ignore,
For the first time in my life, I`m sure
All the love sent up high to pledge
Won`t reach the ledge

Wind blows cold from the west
I smell coffee, I smell doughnuts for the press (on their breath?)
A girl that I knew once years ago
Is tryin` to be reached on the phone

I`m the boy she can`t ignore,
for the first time in my life, I`m sure
All the love sent up high to pledge...

(Repeat)

Priest kneels silent, all is still
Policeman reaches from the sill
Watch him, watch him try his best
There`ll be no medal pinned to his chest

I`m the boy they couldn`t ignore,
for the first time in my life, I`m sure

(Repeat)

I`m the boy for the last time in my life

All the love that they pledge
For the last time will not reach the ledge
