Stranded — текст песни (Stan Ridgway)

She was standin near the railroad track when she first flagged me down

I was drivin outta town

All alone





Her face held every feelin in but her eyes gave her away

One look and you would say

No way home





Walkin through an airport lounge

Somewhere way off in spain

Through a scratchy intercom it came

Loud and clear...





Chorus:

Youre worn and used and you cant talk

Your flight has been postponed, now you must walk

Straight up that hillccnow you must push your own rock







The iceburg cut into the hull while the captain rang the bell

How he went down, who could tell

Cold as ice





Beneath the waves the ocean liner sank into the sand

You still could hear the band

Auld lang syne





Out in space their orbit then just started to decay

She was burnin up the atmosphere

Burn away





Chorus repeat
