Dont Say Nothing — текст песни (Patti Smith)

Lower the thing the skin of a cat

Skin it to the left just laying there

No other thing is luck like that

And you set it said it said nothing



Went to the party very discouraged

I watched the litter pile like a wall

I looked at the river just couldnt forgive it

It was ladened with all kinds of shit

Still I admit that I didnt say nothing

I turned my back walked away

Got to face the fact that I didnt say nothing



Everyone was dancing I stood over in the corner

I was listening they were saying this and saying that

And putting this one down but nothing was delivered

Nothing good was coming I just stood there

I couldnt believe it but I didnt say nothing

I walked the floor then I looked away



Got to face the fact that I didnt say nothing



How long how long will we make do

Maybe its time to break on through

Gonna lift my skirts gonna straighten up

Gonna get well Im gonna do something

Gonna face the fact gonna give it back

And Im gonna do something wont hold my tongue

Wont hold the thought wont hold the card

Well Im gonna do something

Oh my brain I got to complain

You can refrain but Im gonna do something

How long how long will we make do

Maybe its time to break on through



Out in the desert I saw that old cat skinned

I saw it floating in the river

I saw and no one seemed to mind

They sat there they sat there watching the sun

I saw it float away and I watched the buildings crumble

Like dust in the hand and we watched the sun

Spread its wings and fly away

And in the mountains a cry echoes

Dont say nothing

Dont say nothing no

Dont say nothing no
