Laraby`s Gang — текст песни (Spin Doctors)

Stoop`s so fine on a summer`s eve
When you sit outside for a short reprieve
Talk to folks as they come and leave
Jono, Jay, and Crazy Steve.

Night is down but it`s bright as day
You haven`t been around since you went away
Feels so good so that`s what you say
Folks say hi, but you say, "Hey."

Well, that old mad dog, he`s barking for the blues bone
Orpheus got a black book and a telephone
Plays that lyre `cause he doesn`t want to be alone;
One look back.......

Buy a beer, find a place to stand
Have a couple laughs and hear the band
Smoke a couple of your favorite brand
Wake up with a stamp on the back of your hand.

Don`t blame me, it`s all been Laraby`s gang, now, now.
Don`t blame me for the song that the Nightingale sang, now, now.
Don`t blame me `bout the vanishing waif,
Don`t blame me if your safe ain`t safe, now, now.

Sun comes up, you`re still awake.
There`s the sky, still as a lake.
Not even that can drown the ache,
Looks so high, it must be fake.
