Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down the street
Shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They’re just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
Oh baby can’t you hear me now

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Every night its just the same
You leave me lonely, now

I know your window and I know it’s late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four way
You watch them as they fall
They all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they’ll never win you back

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
Where Every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All of my dreams just fall like rain
All upon on a downtown train

Prevod na srpski

Voz za centar

Još jedan žuti Mesec napolju
Probušio je rupu u noćnoj izmaglici
Kroz prozor izlazim dole na ulicu
Sijam kao novčić, nov novcat
Vozovi za centar puni su
Onih bruklinskih cura
Što se zdušno trude da pobegnu iz svojih malih svetova

Mahni rukom i odmagliće kao vrane
One nemaju baš ništa što bi moglo osvojiti tvoje srce
One su samo trnovi bez ruže
Pazi ih se u mraku
Kad bih samo bio
tvoj jedini
Dušo, zar me ne čuješ sad

Hoću li te videti večeras
U vozu za centar
Svaka noć je tako ista, ostavljaš me samog sad
Znam tvoj prozor i znam da je kasno
Znam tvoje stepenice i tvoj trem
Hodam tvojom ulicom, pored tvoje kapije
Stojim na raskrsnici ispod svetla
Gledaš ih kako padaju,
Svi kao da dobijaju srčane udare
Ostaju u igri,
ali nikada te neće ponovo osvojiti

Hoću li te videti večeras u vozu za centar
Gde je svaka noć, svaka noć ista
Hoću li te videti večeras u vozu za centar
Svi moji snovi kao kiša padaju, dušo
U vozu za centar

Falling James in the Tahoe mud
Stick around to tell us all the tale
He fell in love with a Gun Street girl and
Now he’s dancing in the Birmingham jail
Dancing in the Birmingham jail

Took a 100 dollars off a Slaughterhouse Joe
Bought a bran’ new Michigan 20 gauge
Got all liquored up on that roadhouse corn,
Blew a hole in the hood of a yellow corvette
Blew a hole in the hood of a yellow corvette
Bought a second hand Nova from a Cuban Chinese
Dyed his hair in the bathroom of a Texaco
With a pawnshop radio, quarter past 4
Well he left Waukegan at the slammin’ of the door
He left Waukegan at the slammin’ of the door

I said, John, John he’s long gone
Gone to Indiana
Ain’t never coming home
I said John, John he’s long gone
Gone to Indiana
Ain’t never coming home

Sitting in a sycamore in St. John’s Wood
Soakin’ day old bread in kerosene
He was blue as a robin’s egg brown as a hog
Stayin’ out of circulation till the dogs get tired
Stayin’ out of circulation till the dogs get tired

Shadow fixed the toilet with an old trombone
He never got up in the morning on a Saturday
Sittin’ by the Erie with a bull whipped dog
Tellin’ everyone he saw
They went thatta way
Tellin’ everyone he saw
They went thatta way

Now the rain’s like gravel on an old tin roof
And the Burlington Northern’s pullin’ out of the world
With a head full of bourbon and a dream in the straw
And a Gun Street Girl was the cause of it all
A Gun Street girl was the cause of it all

Riding in the shadow by the St. Joe Ridge
He heard the click clack tappin’ of a blind man’s cane
Pullin’ into Baker on a New Year’s Eve
With one eye on the pistol and the other on the door
With one eye on the pistol and the other on the door

Miss Charlotte took her satchel down to King Fish Row
And she smuggled in a bran’ new pair of alligator shoes
With her fireman’s raincoat and her long yellow hair, well
They tied her to a tree with a skinny millionaire
They tied her to a tree with a skinny millionaire

I said, John, John he’s long gone
Gone to Indiana
Ain’t never coming home
I said John, John he’s long gone
Gone to Indiana
Ain’t never coming home
Bangin’ on a table with an old tin cup
Sing I’ll never kiss a Gun Street Girl again
I’ll never kiss a Gun Street Girl again

I said, John, John he’s long gone
Gone to Indiana
Ain’t never coming home
I said John, John he’s long gone
Gone to Indiana
Ain’t never coming home

Prevod pesme

Devojka iz Opake ulice

Pade Džejms u Taho blato
Ostani da nam ispričaš celu priču
On se u devojku iz Opake ulice zaljubio i
Sada pleše u birmingemskom zatvoru
Pleše u birmingemskom zatvoru

Maznuo je 100 dolara od Klanica Džoa
Kupio nov novcijat 20-kalibarski Michigan
U drumskoj kafani se nroljao viskija
Napravio rupu na krovu neke žute korvete
Napravio rupu na krovu neke žute korvete
Kupio polovnu Novu od nekog kubanskog Kineza
Ofarbao kosu u toaletu na pumpi
Sa radijom iz zalagaonice, u 4 i 15
Napustio je Waukegan zalupivši vratima
Napustio je Waukegan zalupivši vratima

Rekoh, Džon, Džon, odavno ga nema
Otišao je u Indijanu
Nikad se neće vratiti kući
Rekoh, Džon, Džon, odavno ga nema
Otišao je u Indijanu
Nikad se neće vratiti kući

Sedeći u nekom platanu u šumi Svetog Džona
Natapao je jučerašnji hleb u kerozin
Bio je plav kao jaje crvendaća, braon kao svinja
Sklanjao se s puta dok se psi ne umore
Sklanjao se s puta dok se psi ne umore

Zaklonio je toalet nekim starim trombonom
Subotom nikad nije ustajao rano
Eskivirao rizik uz nekog prebijenog psa
Govoreći svima koje bi sreo
Otišli su onuda
Govoreći svima koje bi sreo
Otišli su onuda

Sad po starom limenom krovu kiša kao šljunak pada
A Burlington Northern vodi izvan sveta
Glave pune burbona i jednim snom u slamci
A devojka iz Opake ulice bila je uzrok svega toga
Devojka iz Opake ulice bila je uzrok svega toga

Jašući u senci grebena Svetog Džoa
Čuo je klik klak lupkanje štapa nekog slepca
što svraćao je u Baker na Novogodišnje veče
Jednim okom na pištolju i drugim na vratima
Jednim okom na pištolju i drugim na vratima

Gđica Šarlota ponela je svoju torbu u King Fish Row
I prokrijumčarila nazad par novih novcijatih cipela od aligatorove kože
Sa svojom vatrogasnom jaknom i dugom žutom kosom, pa
Zavezali su je za drvo sa nekim mršavim milionerom
Zavezali su je za drvo sa nekim mršavim milionerom

Rekoh, Džon, Džon, odavno ga nema
Otišao je u Indijanu
Nikad se neće vratiti kući
Rekoh, Džon, Džon, odavno ga nema
Otišao je u Indijanu
Nikad se neće vratiti kući
Lupajući o sto starom limenom šoljom
Peva, nikad mi više neće nedostajati devojka iz Opake ulice
nikad više neću ljubiti devojku iz Opake ulice

Rekoh, Džon, Džon, odavno ga nema
Otišao je u Indijanu
Nikad se neće vratiti kući
Rekoh, Džon, Džon, odavno ga nema
Otišao je u Indijanu
Nikad se neće vratiti kući

Don’t go to church on Sunday
Don’t get on my knees to pray
Don’t memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
Bit I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more

I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee’s candy store

Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Well I don’t want no Anna Zabba
Don’t want no Almond Joy
There ain’t nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it’s the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul

When the weather gets rough
And it’s whiskey in the shade
It’s best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that’s ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait

Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Don’t go to church on Sunday
Don’t get on my knees to pray
Don’t memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
Bit I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more

I fall on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee’s candy store

Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Well I don’t want no Anna Zabba
Don’t want no Almond Joy
There ain’t nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it’s the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul

When the weather gets rough
And it’s whiskey in the shade
It’s best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that’s ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait

Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me

Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
Good enough for me

Well it’s got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Prevod pesme

Čokoladni Isus

Ne idem u crkvu nedeljom
Ne spuštam se na kolena da se molim
Ne učim napamet knjige biblijske
Ja imam svoj specijalni stil
Ali znam da me Isus voli
Možda malkice više

Ja svake nedelje padam na kolena
U prodavnici slatkiša Zerelde Li

Pa taj Isus mora biti čokoladni
da bi činio da se ja osećam dobro
Morao bi biti neki čokoladni Isus
da bi mene zadovoljavao

Ma neću ja neku Ana-Zabu
Neću ni Radost Bademsku
Nema ničeg boljeg
Za ovog momka prikladnog
Ma, to je jedina stvar
Koja može da me razbudi
Bolje od šoljice zlata
Znaš, samo čokoladni Isus
može moju dušu da zadovolji

Kad dođe loše vreme
i tuga se utapa u čaši
Svog spasitelja je najbolje
u celofan zapakovati
On teče kao veliko blato
Ali to je u redu
Sipaš ga preko sladoleda
za lepi parfe

Pa, dobro je biti čokoladni Isus
Za mene, dovoljno dobro
Mora biti čokoladni Isus
Ne idem u crkvu nedeljom
Ne spuštam se na kolena da se molim
Ne učim napamet knjige biblijske
Ja imam svoj specijalni stil
Ali znam da me Isus voli
Možda malkice više

Ja svake nedelje padam na kolena
U prodavnici slatkiša Zerelde Li

Pa taj Isus mora biti čokoladni
da bi učinio da se ja osećam dobro
Morao bi biti neki čokoladni Isus
da bi mene zadovoljavao

Ma neću ja neku Ana-Zabu
Neću ni Radost Bademsku
Nema ničeg boljeg
Za ovog momka prikladnog
Ma, to je jedina stvar
Koja može da me razbudi
Bolje od šoljice zlata
Znaš, samo čokoladni Isus
može moju dušu da zadovolji

Kad dođe loše vreme
i tuga se utapa u čaši
Svog spasitelja je najbolje
u celofan zapakovati
On teče kao veliki Misuri
Ali to je u redu
Sipaš ga preko sladoleda
za lepi parfe

Pa, taj Isus bi morao biti čokoladni
Za mene dovoljno dobar
Morao bi biti neki čokoladni Isus
Za mene dovoljno dobar

Pa taj Isus mora biti čokoladni
da bih se ja dobro osećao
Morao bi biti neki čokoladni Isus
da bi mene zadovoljavao
Za mene dovoljno dobar

Pa, to bi morao biti neki čokoladni Isus
da bih se ja dobro osećao
Morao bi biti neki čokoladni Isus
da bi mene zadovoljavao

Inside a broken clock
Splashing the wine
With all the rain dogs
Taxi, we’d rather walk.
Huddle a doorway with the rain dogs
For i am a rain dog, too.

Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreamin
Oh, how we danced away
All of the lights
We’ve always been out of our minds.

The rum pours strong and thin
Beat out the dustman
With the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train
Give my umbrella to the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too.

Oh, how we danced with the
Rose of Tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you
Whispered to me
You’ll never be going back home,
You’ll never be going back home.

Prevod pesme

Pokisli psi

Unutar pokvarenog sata
prosipajući vino
sa svim pokislim psima
Taksi, rađe bismo peške.
Guranje pred vratima sa tim pokislim psima
Jer pokisli pas sam i ja.

Oh, kako smo igrali i noć gutali
jer sve je to bilo zrelo za snove
Oh, kako smo plesom rasterali
sva svetla
Uvek smo bili ludi.

Rum teče jak i gust
mlati đubretara
sa pokislim psima
ukrcavanje na raspadnuti voz
Dajem svoj kišobran pokislim psima
Jer pokisli pas sam i ja.

Oh, kako smo plesali sa
Ružom Tralija
Njena duga kosa kao gavran crna
Oh, kako smo plesali a ti
šaptao(la) si mi
da se nikada kući nećeš vratiti,
da se nikada kući nećeš vratiti.

You can never hold back spring
You can be sure that I will never
Stop believing
The blushing rose will climb
Spring ahead or fall behind
Winter dreams the same dream
Every time

You can never hold back spring
Even though you’ve lost your way
The world keeps dreaming of spring

So close your eyes
Open you heart
To one who’s dreaming of you
You can never hold back spring
Baby

Remember everything that spring
Can bring
You can never hold back spring

Prevod na srpski

Proleće nikad ne možeš omesti

Proleće nikada ne možeš omesti
Možeš biti sigurna da ja nikada neću
Prestati da verujem
Rumena ruža će se uspeti
Proleće napred ili jesen iza
Zima sanja isti san
Svaki put

Proleće nikada ne možeš omesti
Iako si se izgubila
Svet i dalje sanja o proleću

Zato zatvori oči
Otvori srce
Onome ko o tebi sanja
Proleće nikada ne možeš obuzdati
Draga

Zapamti, sve što proleće
Može doneti
Proleće nikada ne možeš sprečiti

When I’m lyin’ in my bed at night
I don’t wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
I don’t wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog that’s
always changing things
Makes wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don’t wanna grow up
I don’t ever want to be that way
I don’t wanna grow up
Seems that folks turn into things
that they never want
The only thing to live for is today…
I’m gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don’t wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
I don’t wanna grow up
I don’t wanna have to shout it out
I don’t want my hair to fall out
I don’t wanna be filled with doubt
I don’t wanna be a good boy scout
I don’t wanna have to learn to count
I don’t wanna have the biggest amount
I don’t wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don’t wanna grow up
They all go out and drinkin’ all night
I don’t wanna grow up
I’d rather stay here in my room
Nothin’ out there but sad and gloom
I don’t wanna live in a big old tomb on grand street
When I see the 5 o’clock news
I don’t wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don’t wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don’t wanna put no money down
I don’t wanna get a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don’t wanna float on a broom
Fall in love, get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don’t wanna grow up

Prevod na srpski

Ne želim da odrastem

Kada ležim u svom krevetu noću
Ne želim da odrastem
Nikad ništa ne ide kako treba
Ne želim da odrastem
Kako živiš u svetu magle koji uvek
menja stvari
Poželim da sam pas
kada vidim cenu koju plaćate
Ne želim da odrastem
Ne želim nikad takav da postanem
Ne želim da odrastem
Izgleda da se matorci pretvore u ono
što nikad ne žele
Jedini razlog da se živi je danas…
Razbiću svoj televizor
Ne želim da odrastem
Otvori ormarić sa lekovima
Ne želim da odrastem
Nemam želju da moram da vičem
Ne želim da mi otpadne kosa
Ne želim da budem ispunjen sumnjom
Ne želim da budem dobar izviđač
Ne želim da moram da naučim da brojim
Ne želim da imam najveći iznos
Ne želim da odrastem
Ma kad vidim svoje roditelje kako se svađaju
Ne želim da odrastem
Svi oni izlaze u grad i piju po celu noć
Ne želim da odrastem
Rađe bih ostao ovde u svojoj sobi
Napolju nema ničeg sem tuge i mraka
Ne želim da živim u velikom starom grobu na glavnoj ulici
Kada vidim vesti u pet
Ne želim da odrastem
Češljaju svoju kosu i glancaju svoje cipele
Ne želim da odrastem
Ostajem u svom rodnom mestu
Ne želim da trošim nikakav novac
Ne želim da uzmem veliki zajam
Da se ubijam od posla
Ne želim da letim na metli
Zaljubim se, oženim i onda bum
Kako je dođavola tako brzo dotle došlo
Ja ne želim da odrastem
