The Pilgrim — Chapter 33

See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearin’ yesterday’s misfortunes like a smile--
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
Which he spent like they was goin’ outa style--
And he keeps right on a’changin’ for the better or the worse,
Searchin’ for a shrine he’s never found--
Never knowin’ if believin’ is a blessin’ or a curse,
Or if the goin’ up was worth the comin’ down--

Chorus:
He’s a poet, he’s a picker--
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher--
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he’s stoned--
He’s a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars,
And he’s traded in tomorrow for today--
Runnin’ from his devils, lord, and reachin’ for the stars,
And losin’ all he’s loved along the way--
But if this world keeps right on turnin’ for the better or the worse,
And all he ever gets is older and around--
>from the rockin’ of the cradle to the rollin’ of the hearse,
The goin’ up was worth the comin’ down--

Chorus:
He’s a poet, he’s a picker--
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher--
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he’s stoned--
He’s a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.
There’s a lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home.

Не виходжу я на вулицю, Не виходжу в коридори - Там існують якісь люди І усі вони потвори. У них всього є потрохи І потрохи всього в мене Чогось більше, чогось менше, Щось солодке, щось солене. І ретельно

Вона мене, маленького, хрестила, Як сина рідного, увесь свій вік любила, Учила вірити, терпіти і прощати - Завжди розсудлива, моя хрещена мати. Невтомні руки до хреста зложила. Лежить - не дихає, безкровна і безсила. Тепер мене

She lays on the wall Watching the strangers drift away Mid-day's ore--thick With the sun of Arabia She surrenders her voices They gather, on the wind Talkin, chanting, breathing Into her body...yesterday Awakened beside The scent of burnt sugar--on
