Testo Fortunate Son - Pere Ubu
Testo della canzone Fortunate Son (Pere Ubu), tratta dall'album The Long Goodbye
Yeah, I hear voices in my head
That's me
My voice
The problem with crazy people is that
Is that they don't recognize that voice as their own
One person you don't want to be alienated from is yourself
That's gotta cause problems
My favorite voice speaks from under the lamplight of a
Roadside diner in the urban sprawl of Los Angeles
Sometime in the 40s
Something like a Jim Thompson novel
I'd like to speak from other places that don't exist
Waiting in line at a dairy freeze whipped stand
On a bayou outside Houston
Inside the ghost ruins of the cities of my martian ancestors
At the end counter table of the Waffle
House with the view of Walden Pond
I was just there
A man about my age comes in for lunch with his granddaughter
He punches "Unfortunate Son" and "Layla" on the jukebox
I'm looking out the window thinking about America and I
I start to cry
So I pay the waitress for his meal and
Tell her not to say who it was
Which she does and he comes out to thank me
"Thanks for playing the songs," I answer
"You like Eric Clapton?" he asks
I think about what to say
It takes a moment
"It's a good song," I say
Places that don't exist have
Something in common
They're real
Places that do exist aren't so real after a while
