Текст песни King of 7th Avenue (Ellis Paul) с переводом

King of 7th Avenue I can count all the lights in the city from the ledge on the

twenty- seventh floor

There must be ten thousand window or more

It’s a hobby I can count on, helps me forget about the cold

And I get to meet the neighbors for as long as the ledge will hold

In the window across from me, a man is committing a robbery

It’s another form of the New York City lottery

His ears must be burning, he drops the bag and he stares

I’m the man out on the building

Yes, there’s no net down there…

And there’s a woman below that I see

Her silhouette is quite beautiful

It plays tricks on my memory

Puts a face on the shadows in front of me

A crowd below is forming, beneath this

Window ledge, my throne

I am the King of Seventh Avenue

New York City is my home

I think the sirens have come for me

Their searchlights reach up to the balcony

They bathe me in light, blind me so I can’t see

I hear the crowd all ask for jumping

While the cops all ask for calm

Even the pigeons think I’m something

The whole city is in my palms

My daughter Lisa says to me

«Dad the world is yours, and it’s beautiful

Don’t throw it all away on memories

You’ve got to meet new people…"

Yeah, that will be good for me

Good for me

Good for me

So I watch the lovers behind their shades

I’ve seen them embrace after their furious fights

I’ve watched them mend their fences, make their love all night

Only to tear them down again

Change the limits, change the boundaries

The same beginning, the same end

Yet the story still astounds me

The whole world now is watching

From this window ledge my throne

I’m the King of Seventh Avenue

And tonight I’m not alone. I’m not alone
