Finish Line — текст песни (Lou Reed)

Wind blows snow outside my windows

Crowd below runs wild in the streets

Two rented brothers race down two separate alleys

Heading for the finish line



Down in the train yard out by the stockyard

Butchers with aprons hack meat in the snow

Blood has the brothers pulsing with envy

Heading for the finish line



Two rented brothers. their faces keep changing

Just like these feelings I have for you

And nothings forever not even five minutes

When youre headed for the finish line



Down in the depot out by the meat rack

Down by the tunnels surrounding the jail

Prisoners are marching in squares and in circles

Theyre heading for the finish line



Theyre lining up for noahs ark

Theyre stabbing each other in the dark

Saluting a flag made of some rich guys socks

Heading for the finish line



Close to the line the ice is cracking

Two rented feelings sitting in the stands

Two mothers, two fathers and both of them are paid for

All of a sudden it comes back to me



Just up ahead is the finish line

Two rented referees and two checkered rags

Out of the corner of my eye comes a dark horse with black wings

Headed for the finish line



Im five years old the room is fuzzy

I think theres also a very young girl

Its hard to remember what happened exactly

As Im staring at the finish line

First came fire then came light

Then came feeling then cane sight
