Testo Autogrill - Bocephus King
Testo della canzone Autogrill (Bocephus King), tratta dall'album Fra la via Aurelia e il West (dedicato a Francesco Guccini)
There was a girl behind a bright orange bar
Mixing beer and 7up
Her dimpled smile was just like a magazine map
Of constellations inside of a cup
I didn't know the faces on the shining walls
Of that tiny outdoor grill
As my secret dreams were drowned by engines
Climbing up that hill
Well, so spectacular, her beauty
She was a blonde but her roots were black
With a soul like the flowers that grow in the grass
On the side of the railroad tracks
The silence was somewhat broken by the claws of the chimera
I was stirring in my glass
Smoke rings drifting past
The sun so close to the horizon
Turns the windows to stained glass
The castle reads the license fingerprints
On the machine that pumps the gas
In the mirrored soda fountain
I saw her cherub features glow
And me, I was starting to slowly feel so absolutely low
Awkward and just a little bit shy
I put some money in an old jukebox
I feel like Robert Ryan in the House of Bamboo
Made by 20th Century Fox
I didn't want to say what a fool would say
But a fool I was starting to be
So I pointed to the picture of a Hindu god
On a tin can of Indian tea
And I played games instead of saying
"I would love to talk with you"
Your presence calls my heart to action
But I'm unsure of what to do
Can you feel this melancholy?
Hear that dark, unholy sound
When everything explodes here, darling
Let's not be around
Well, the jukebox song was over
But the ghost of the song was still there
Like a trickle of the stardust kept winding its way
Through the thick, heavy neon hair
The static killed all the clamor
Of the uptight unsaid words
And me, some surprises
Made the whole thing seem surprisingly absurd
And in a moment, as it always happens
Everything inside of me changed
The pink plastic curtains stopped reflecting the light
That made this little place so cool and strange
The road started calling so I paid the bills
And saw her eyes looked a little less bright
I left a dollar on the counter and I drove off into
What would soon be night
