Testo Reeperbahn - Live - Tom Waits

Testo della canzone Reeperbahn - Live (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Alice (Anniversary Edition)

Around the curve of the pentagon

A broken down old movie star

Hustling an Easterner

Bringing out the beast in him

A high dive on a swimming pool

Made of needles and with pools

Now the memories are short but the tales are long

Down there in the Reeperbahn

Well they called her Rosie when she was a girl

For her bright red cheeks and her strawberry curls

When she would laugh, the river would run

She said she'd be a comedian

Oh what a pity, oh what a shame

When she said come calling, nobody came

Now her bright red cheeks are fading on

And she's laughing ahead of in the Reeperbahn

Now little Hans was always strange

Wearing women's underthings

Now his father beat him, but he wouldn't change

He ran off with a man one day

Now his lingerie is all the rage

He's in the black on every page

And his father proudly calls his name

Down there in the Reeperbahn

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

Down there in the Reeperbahn

Now if you've lost all your inheritance

And all we have left is common sense

And you're not too picky about the crowd you keep

Or the mattress where you sleep

Behind every window, behind every door

The apple's gone but there's always the core

And the leaves, the seeds will grow up right from the floor

Down there in the Reeperbahn

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

Down there in the Reeperbahn

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

Down there in the Reeperbahn
