Testo Reeperbahn - Tom Waits
Testo della canzone Reeperbahn (Tom Waits), tratta dall'album Alice (Anniversary Edition)
Around the curve of the Parrot Bar
A broken down old movie star
Hustling and Easterner
Bringing out the beast in her
A high dive or a swimming pool
Filled with needles and with fools
The memories are short but the tales are long
When you're 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
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 painted on
And she's laughing her head off
In the Reeperbahn
Now little Hans was always strange
Wearing women's under things
His father beat him but he wouldn't change
He ran off with a man one day
Now his lingerie's all the rage
In the black on every page
And his father proudly calls his name
Down there in the Reeperbahn
Now if you've lost your inheritance
All you've left is common sense
And you're not too picky 'bout the crowd you keep
Or the mattress where you sleep
Behind every window, behind every door
The apple is gone but there's always the core
And the seeds will sprout up right to the floor
Down there in the Reeperbahn
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
Down there in the Reeperbahn
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
La la lie la lie la lie
Down there in the Reeperbahn
