Bing can`t walk (`cause bob broke both h — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

If you`ve got a friend that you want messed up
Just meet me on the corner by the Tail Of The Pup2
I`ll be there soon if you`ll wait a while
It`ll be just one punch for my « patients (patience?) »
And a drawer full of dirty shirts
We`ll find out just who hurts––`cause

Chorus:
Bing can`t walk
Bob broke both his legs
Bing can`t walk
Bob broke both his legs



You`re the one that I`ll remember most of all tonight
Someone let go of my string, I`m fallin` down like a broken kite
Who`s to say, and who`s to know––they don`t know what I know
There`s something out there floatin` free
Anything I had is tangled up in the branches of a hangman`s tree


Chorus repeat


Like a punch in the face or a kick in the groin
There`s nothin` goin` down––goin` down but the dollar and the coin


Greasy little fingers point to ugly little lies
Hide them in a hope chest in an attic in Van Nuys
Trusted friendships can go sour––betrayal in the midnight hour
Just remember––I hate to lose


There`s something out there floatin` free
Anything I had is tangled up in the branches of a hangman`s tree––`cause


Bing can`t walk
Bing can`t walk


Chorus repeat


A touch of sin could break your back
Or scramble up your eggs


But then I`ve got a personal code
I just hit `em on the head, throw `em in a trunk,
And then I drive on down the road
Ha.
