Geography of a Horse Dreamer — текст песни (big head todd and the monsters)

(based on the play "Geography of a Horse
Dreamer" by Sam Shepard")

Old man put down your bottle, go and tidy up your room
the t.v. is broken. There ain`t no room, there ain`t no food.
There ain`t no air only cigarettes and it`s
time to tell us something

And he turns with his eyes wide open and bleedin`
and cryin` tell us what did you see
in the neon in the halflight
did you dream us a number
did you dream us a winner
tell us what did you
dream?

Don`t pretend like you don`t love us really you`re a
part of it all goin`
bad and money
you`ll get a little
maybe you can take a walk outside,
breathe the air
see what it`s like to be
alive.

And he turns and he wonders what city he is in
in a motel on some highway
with bruises on his skin
in the neon in the halflight did you dream us a number did you dream
us a winner, tell us what did you dream?
and he turns and he smiles and he makes them wonder
he say`s I`ll give you a number he say`s I`ll give you
a dream
It ain`t Jersey it ain`t Lilly it ain`t no bloody mare or queen
that keeps on comin` in to keep us in this hell that
we`re in.

She lives on the third floor.
she has three children to feed.
I`ll give you her number, you can call her and ask her
If she remembers me.
