Dalam pencocokan jas hujan biru,
Our shoes were our show boats
Sepatu kami adalah perahu pertunjukan kami
We kicked around.
Kami menendang.
From stairway to station
Dari tangga ke stasiun
We made a sensation
Kami membuat sensasi
With the gadabout crowd.
Dengan kerumunan gadabout.
And oh, what a bargain,
Dan oh, betapa murahnya,
We’re two easy targets
Kami adalah dua sasaran empuk
For the old men at the off-tracks,
Bagi orang tua di jalur off-track,
Who’ve paid in palaver
Siapa yang membayar di palet
And crumpled old dollars,
Dan dolar tua kusut,
Which we squirreled away
Yang kita squirrel off
In our rat trap hotel by the freeway.
Di hotel perangkap tikus kami di jalan bebas hambatan.
And we slept-in Sundays.
Dan kami tidur-di hari Minggu.
Your parents were anxious,
Orang tua Anda cemas,
Your cool was contagious
Dingin Anda menular
At the old school.
Di sekolah lama.
You left without leaving
Anda pergi tanpa pergi
A note for your grieving
Sebuah catatan untuk berduka Anda
Sweet mother, while
Ibu manis, sementara
Your brother was so cruel.
Adikmu sangat kejam.
And here in the alleys
Dan di sini, di gang
Your spirits were rallied
Semangatmu bersatu
As you learned quick to make a fast buck.
Saat Anda belajar dengan cepat menghasilkan uang dengan cepat.
In bathrooms and barrooms,
Di kamar mandi dan barroom,
On dumpsters and heirlooms,
Di tempat sampah dan pusaka,
We bit our tongues.
Kami menggigit lidah kita.
Sucked our lips into our lungs
Mengisap bibir kita ke paru-paru kita
’til we were falling.
Sampai kita jatuh.
Such was our calling.
Begitulah panggilan kita.
And here in our hollow we fuse like a family,
Dan di sini di lubang kami kita sekering seperti keluarga,
But I will not mourn for you.
Tapi aku tidak akan berduka untukmu.
So take up your makeup
Jadi, angkat make up Anda
And pocket your pills away.
Dan kantong pil Anda pergi.
We’re kings among runaways
Kami adalah raja di antara para pelarian
On the bus mall.
Di mal bus.
We’re down
Kita sedang down
On the bus mall.
Di mal bus.
Among all the urchins and old Chinese merchants
Di antara semua bulu babi dan pedagang Cina kuno
Of the old town,
Dari kota tua,
We reigned at the pool hall
Kami memerintah di aula kolam renang
With one iron cue ball
Dengan satu bola isyarat besi
And we never let the bastards get us down.
Dan kita tidak pernah membiarkan para bajingan menurunkan kita.
And we laughed off the quick tricks–
Dan kami menertawakan trik cepat –
The old men with limp dicks–
Orang tua dengan penis yang lemas –
On the colonnades of the waterfront park.
Di barisan tiang taman tepi laut.
As 4 in the morning came on, cold and boring,
Saat pagi hari di pagi hari, dingin dan membosankan,
We huddled close
Kami meringkuk dekat
In the bus stop enclosure enfolding.
Di tempat pemberhentian bus berhenti.
Our hands tightly holding.
Tangan kami memegang erat.
But here in our hollow we fuse like a family,
Tapi di sini di lubang kami kita sekering seperti keluarga,
But I will not mourn for you.
Tapi aku tidak akan berduka untukmu.
So take up your makeup
Jadi, angkat make up Anda
And pocket your pills away.
Dan kantong pil Anda pergi.
We’re kings among runaways
Kami adalah raja di antara para pelarian
On the bus mall.
Di mal bus.
We’re down
Kita sedang down
On the bus mall.
Di mal bus.
We’re down
Kita sedang down
On the bus mall.
Di mal bus.
Down on the bus mall.
Turun di mal.
Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh oh
