Текст песни Big City Cat (Steve Forbert) с переводом

Ah, buildings and people down under the skies

I walk down the street lookin' out through my eyes

I’m getting so skinny it hurts to sit down

I’m deep in the well; I’m in the rat trap town

Where it’s dirty for dirty, it’s an eye for an eye

It’s a tooth for a tooth and a sigh for a sigh

And everything’s edgy like musical chairs

And everyone’s lookin', but who really cares?

Well, I’m try’na get up, try’na laugh in my head

I’m walkin' on eggs and I’m climbin' on thread

There’s motors and traffic and racket and horns;

My weary ol' stairway is wobbly and worn

There a hissin' of heaters and bangin' ol' pipes

Screaming of women and laughin' all night

There’s babies a-cryin' and somebody’s dog

He’s barkin' so loudly, there’s a man in the hall

Oh…, it’s some kinda lunatic followin' me

He’s down by the john so I can’t take a pee

I’m 'sposed to be happy, I’m here where it’s at

I’m a face in the crowd; I’m a big city cat
