Off Night Backstreet — текст песни (Joni Mitchell)

Maybe Im just kidding myself when I say I love you

I dont know--

Loving without trusting

You get--frostbite and sunstroke

I wish I felt nothing!

You pimp--laughing and strutting her to my chartered seat

Your old off night back street



Its been stinger to stinger, darling

Its been heart to heart

You still keep me from finishing

Any new love I start

Now shes moved in with you

Shes keeping your house neat

And your sheets sweet

And Im your off night back street



I can feel your fingers

Feeling my face

There are some lines you put there

And some you erase

Maybe Im just dramatizing

I dont care

Its home--it can be heaven

When we play fair

But these sentimental journeys

Late at night--

High in some back room youre calling me

To be your off night back street



You give me such pleasure

You bring me such pain

Who left her long black hair

In our bathtub drain?
