Текст песни Classic Hollywood Ending (Stan Ridgway) с переводом

Hear the wind blow back those sycamore trees

There’s a screen test haunting my memories

I’ve been driving down the boulevard, not much change

It’s the same old town, just rearranged

But by the time our feature ended, fear still stood

Like an old time movie, like a film from Hollywood

Oh, my screen goes up, and my lights go down

My picture starts but there is no sound

The only thing I hear is a guitar play

From a lonesome place so far away

And I’d let you do the rewrite now, if I only could

Like an old time movie, like a film from Hollywood

Now when that scene starts to fade out fast

The one where I exit, stage right

And then we cut to the boxing match

Inside the colosseum, with that crowd so ugly

And by the time we see dreams disappear

The audience has learned to cheer

But then fashion changed that underground

It’s the same old circus with brand new clowns

And I’m lookin' out this window now on the corner where we stood

Like an old time movie, like a film from Hollywood

Now I never knew how your curtain came down

Or what was backstage in your mind

We never played that lost reel we found

The lights went up, and we’d run out of time

Out of time

And it’s only when the curtain’s down that the ending’s understood

Like an old time movie, like a film from Hollywood
