Crystal Palace — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

Movin kinda slow, no I never had much balance

Why does everyone I know keep makin lots a dough

I guess Ill find out soon when I get to that crystal palace in the sky



Ive heard stories second hand about its grand interior

Its gold and silver strands, cathedral ceilings way up high

All the furnishings unique when you get to your crystal palace in the sky





Well, Ive worked as a part time circus boy

Collected cans down saticoy

And patiently put forth my master plan





Ive imagined futures and full plates

And slept with every subliminal tape

But now Im so angry at someone

My contract is in breach

Why must my crystal palace be on hold this week?





I feel lucky I suppose, at least were all still breathin

Stuck here in escrow, just a waitin out our loan

But no big armed patrol will stop me when I get to my crystal palace by and by





And itll be my way or the highway

Gettin to my crystal palace in the sky
