Альбом The Walkmen

Louisiana
Come go away with me
We'll take the highway
I'll see you in between
I listen to my head
And every word have come
It's been two days without it
The sleeping in the sun
Hey

Crossing through Tennessee watching the sunrise
Thinking about a dream
Well we'll listen all night
To the footsteps in the hall
There's thunder and there's lightening
A hundred miles off

I got my hands full all summer long
I got my hands full
I got my hands
full
Louisiana
Come go away with me
Drinking our coffee
Under the canopy
Never saw a morning
I slept through half a day
There's thunder and there's lightening
A hundred miles away
Oh

I got my hands full oh summertime
I got my hands full
I got my hands

Da da da da da
Da da da da da

I don’t know where the evening’s gone.
The celebration’s almost done
But I wasn’t done.
I wasn’t done.
We sit down across the street
But somehow no one waited up for me.

See the city sleeping
No one here is leaving.
Let’s go out and grab a drink.
Yeah, I’ll take care of everything.
That’s not saying much.
It all was such a mess.
Get stuck with the barmaid.
I never saw you leave.
I hope you’ve found what you were looking for.
Know just how you’re feeling.
I don’t know where you went.
Danny’s at the wedding, again.
Danny’s at the wedding, again.

I think I’d do it all again.
Cause I wasn’t done.
I wasn’t done.

The bird I have in my hands
Went back in the bush again.
You caught me off my guard.
It eats me inside out.
He’s walking out before its over.
Trying to remember
Why the kids went home.
One last call and everyone was gone.
I really tried my best.
I really tried my best.
Never saw you leaving.
Don’t know where you went.
Danny’s at the wedding, again

In the fall the air is dry,
in the shadow of this town.
And the sun is shining out
pushing shadows down the street.

Cross into the sunny side,
her and i am barreling out.
And the leaves are coming down
coverin' up this muddy ground.

Good for you is good for me,
maybe i'll stop by,
you weren't in the dream i had last night.

And the sun was shinin',
never so invitin'.
Yea the sun was shinin' out
underneath the dogwood tree.

Rent is always climbin',
why don't you move in?

On some hazy afternoon
heard a siren in the air,
high above this city sky,
over towers, over domes.

And the sun was shining out
cast my shadow on the walk.
Another year is goin round
in a shadow on this town.

I dont get some people
but i dont really try,
whats good for you is good for me
for now...

Emma get me a lemon
and if there are none
get me a lime
and if we got none
go out and get some
i'm gonna wait here
by your french door

and you ask me to come over
and its all coming together
there's so many ways
we can take our time
and you tell me not to worry
dont you ever think about it
i got so many ways to waste our time
it's a long way home, let's enjoy the ride (for 2nd chorus)

(name) go let the dog in
i hear him scratchin
against the kitchen wall
go let the dog in
i hear him howling
i got a feeling
it'll be all night

Broke my back out in the yard.
If you don’t like it
Won’t you tell me?
Work all day and all the night.
Later on
Can I help it?
By the way,
It wont last.
Rain will come.
The summer’s passed.

Three shots fired to call us back.
You were lost
When I found you.

After all,
You promised me
A broken nose
And twisted me.

Stop talking to the neighbor’s dog.
Break all the windows in my car.
Burn down the room when I’m asleep.
Break out the bottles when I go.
I’ll dig a hole for all your friends.

If you don’t like it
Won’t you tell me
If you don’t like it?
Never saw it coming.
Never saw it coming.

By the way, it wont last.
Rain will come.
The summer’s passed

Lost in Boston.
Drinking rum and chocolate.
A hundred thousand blinking lights
Are making me exhausted.

It was Fleet Week last week
And all the sailors couldn’t sleep.
Mini skirts and high heeled shoes.
Raining mud on shiny suits.
Tell everyone
The officers are gone.
This night
Has lived
Too long.

Its pissing rain. The leaves are
All scattered on the lawn.
We’re cramming our stuff in
The back of the car
And heading on uptown.

This night has lived too long.

Nothing’s going on.
There's nothing more to it.

Now, you can hear us shout
For miles around
Somewhere uptown.

I hear you calling
From our street.
The traffic lights turn red to green.
I’ll be right down.
Yeah, I’m coming out.

Lost in Boston
Drinking rum and chocolate.
A hundred thousand blinking lights
Are making me exhausted

We spend a week awake but we leave the calls tonight.
The locals keep us up all day and night.
Seen the northern lights
And we’ve seen the Milky Way
And I miss home much more than they miss me.

Don’t waul, shout it out.
Don’t waul, shout it out.
Lie against the moonlit sky
Its pushing out the child I kiss.
Look up towards the stars and stay.
Just enjoy the ride and rest.
So come on over here.
Come on over here.
Got aches and pains and other things.
Come on over here
Come on over here.

Cheetah, don’t get me down.
Cheetah, don’t get me down.
Come on over here.

Spent a week awake but we’re heading home tonight.
I’m gonna take you out and do it right.

Cheetah, don’t get me down.
Cheetah, don’t get me down.
Come on over here.
Come on over here.
Make the most, just this once.
Come on over here.
Come on over here

For everyone…
And sleeping at night.
And you’re good enough.
I’m not gonna eat it.
You wear yourself out.
You’re talking backwards.
You wear yourself out.
You wear yourself out… out.

I thought I was too high.
I fall so low that now I,
I learn
Breaking out the room/break another room/get another room
I learn
Everything’s okay.

Call in the coast guard.
We’re going under
Sooner or later.
They’re going under
On the edges,
Sooner or later.

You can
Mess around my head.
Hold on.
And then tomorrow night
We’ll sleep as on the right.

If this bird gets us home
I’ll never fly again.
And then, I learn
…another room
Hang on

He clears his throat
And he’s driving up his crowd.
He used to sway,
But he’s turned it all around.
Yeah, he’s mopping up his brow.
Yeah, he’s taking his time.
Working his crowd.

He’s lunging two words
Atop a bus.
He’s talking all day long.
He’s always telling us,
“It’s easy to get around.
Man, I know my stuff.
When I get home I’m alone for just so much.
Honey, this job is killing me.”

He lost his voice
When he got back home.
He’s at it hard
But now he’s turned it all around.
Yeah, but now he’s at home,
And he’s counting his cash.
He’s popping pills and he’s calling his ex.
He lost his voice.
But he’s all right.
He says he’s happy now
Driving that bus around.
… job
…believe it now.
He’s turned it all around.
But honey, this job is killing me

Finally close the door
you'd left open wide
locked it for me inside
lay me down
count me out

watch out it's on you
there's worse ways to see it baby
set a fire and watch it burnin'
come here sit next to me
I'll tell you about a dream

i'm looking out on the world
I see it through your eyes
burn you down
bury you

i tried to see it plain
there's worse ways of getting here
you don't hear me complainin'
i'll tell you of every dream
i'm holding for you and me

look out now it's all new
those colors are fading
outside the wind is howlin'
stop talkin', listen to me
I'll tell you of every dream

There’s mansions on the street.
There’s gardens in the gates.
We sat up through the night for nothing.
Falling down the stairs,
Falling down
When all the lights are going off.
I’m getting out of here.
Some don’t run, dear, some don’t run, without me.
It must have been a dream or something else.

Should we call this off?
Should we try to laugh
And will we make it out of here?
I was always after you until you started after me.
Always after you until you started after me.

And all in all where your debts gonna fall, yes, you will.
So throw your papers in the air cause
I got paid anyway.

Should we call this off?
Should we try to laugh
And will we make it out of here?
I was always after you until you started after me.
Always after you until you started after me.
And on and on, I see someone has got it in for me.
On and on, I see someone that’s got it in for me

Is your skin your skeletons
Splinters my daydreams
Under surface see is it any seed
Shadows fly across the wall
I walk outside and try to see you right in front of me
Silhouette of something sweet and so bright

Don't know what to offer you I'm only broke and lonely
And another one goes, and another goes by
Sometimes when I step outside I see you standing right in front of me
And another one goes, and another one goes by

Don't know what to offer you
I'm only broke and lonely
And another one goes, and another one goes by
Sometimes when I walk outside I see it right in front of me and so
Bright
And another one goes
And another one goes
And another one goes
By
