Gimme Some Slack

(альбом: Panorama - 1980)

i want to shake like Liguardia
magic mouth in the sun
train ride to the courtyard
before you can run
down at the end of lonely street
where no one takes a walk
someone's lying at your feet
and someone's getting off

[Chorus:]
just gimme some slack

the seven floors of walkup
the odor musted cracks
the peeping keyhole introverts
with the monkeys on their backs

[Chorus]

the rooftops strung with frauleins
the pastel pinned up sails
the eighteen color roses
against your face so pale

[Chorus]

i want to float like Euripides
all visions intact
i'm alright with Fellini fiends
tripping over the track

(chorus)

down at the end of Lonely Street
where no one takes a chance
someone's in the cheap light
and someone wants to dance

(chorus)
