Dont — текст песни (Kinks)

Walking round this metropolis

With its buildings that reach to the clouds

There must be millions of people out there

Walking round with their heads bowed

This city kills me, but it thrills me

Now somethings gone and held up the crowd

Theyre pointing at a man standing high on a ledge

And somebody just cried out loud

Dont look down at the people below, oh

Dont look down

Its a long way to fall and Id sure like to know

What made it happen, sure makes you think

Must have been something special

To send him to the brink

Down here on the sidewalk, hes clearly in view

Then a voice shouts up to him

Try thinking it through but whatever you do



Chorus:

Dont look down

At the people below, oh

Dont look down, things might start looking up

You just never know



Hes heard the cries of the lunatics facing defeat

The cheers of the winners

Who are dancing in the street

Perhaps the crime and corruption finally got through

And the violence of the city

Just broke him in two

Now a voice from the queue shouts



Chorus



Dont look down, dont look down

Down here on the sidewalk

Its stopped all our lives

People are talking instead of just walking by

Before this happened it was just another day

Now people are talking instead of walking away

Now were gripped by this tragedy

Our blood starts to pump as we all shout together

Dont jump, dont jump



Chorus



Dont look down, we all shouted out, oh

Dont look down

Its a long way to fall and Id sure like to know

What made it happen, guess well never know

Now the suns come out

Looks like hes standing on a rainbow

Hes in the heavens, Im standing on the ground

Saying dont look down
