Текст песни City Of Light (Phil Manzanera) с переводом

Well, they say that home is where the heart is But you left, way back, and started roaming

For these streets that were so bright with promise

Mother’s love is what you turned away from

Now you’re trapped

Down in the City of Light

You’ll go crazy

City of Light

City of Light

Blinds are drawn cross windows facing nowhere

In the day the darkness is complete

Close your eyes and try to cry away your nightmares

You just know the downtown city street

Where darkness reigns

Down in the City of Light

You’ll go crazy

Try as you might there’s no end to your days in the

City of Light

City of Light

You know these streets so well

Each drugstore, night club and bar

Don’t try to run from here

You’re not allowed to get far

Hookers prowl, the look, the pout, the open invitation

to liaisons swift with cold

In rainswept streets, the pimps are calculating

Acts of haste, the clients, lives they’ve bought and sold

Sell yours too

Down in the City of Light

Things go hazy

Try as you might you’ll go blind in the blaze of the

City of Light

City of Light

There’s been sudden death, a knife, down on the eastside

You can stand so much, then instinct takes its head

And though people say that home is where the heart is They don’t know that this damned city’s heart is dead

There’s no escape

Down in the City of Light

You’ll go crazy

Try as you might you can never be saved from the

City of Light

City of Light

You know these streets too well

Each drugstore, night club and dive

There’s no route out of here

You only know one way to survive
