Big City Cat — текст песни (Steve Forbert)





Buildings an` people down under the skies,
I walk down the street lookin` out through my eyes,
I`m getting so skinny it hurts to sit down,
I`m deep in the well, I`m in the rat trap town.

Where it`s dirty for dirty, it`s an eye for an eye,
it`s a tooth for a tooth an` a sigh for a sigh
an` ev`rything`s edgy like musical chairs
an` ev`ryone`s lookin`, but who really cares?

Well, I`m tryna get up, tryna laugh in my head,
I`m walkin` on eggs and I`m climbin` on thread.
There`s motors an` traffic an` racket an` horns;
my weary ol` stairway is wobbly an` worn.

There a hissin` of heaters an` bangin` ol` pipes,
screaming of women an` laughin` all night,
there`s babies a-cryin` an` somebody`s dog,
he`s barkin` so loudly, there`s a man in the hall...

Hell, it`s some kinda lunatic followin` me.
He`s down by the john so I can`t take a pee.
I`m `s`posed t` be happy, I`m here where it`s at,
I`m a face in the crowd, I`m a big city cat.
