Текст песни Something's Out to Get Me (Loudon Wainwright III) с переводом

Something’s out to get me, something’s on my trail

Something like that bird dog running down that quail

Maybe it’s that hellhound, begging for my soul

Something’s out to get me, and something’s on a roll

Nothing used to get to me when I was young and strong

My foolish ways were wicked, yet I could do no wrong

I thought I was immortal, immunized from my own sin

Nothing used to get to me, but now something’s moving in

Life’s like an elevator, least that’s what I have found

You push a lot of buttons, but what goes up comes down

Getting old might make you wiser, like they say it should

But getting old’s just getting old, and old ain’t much damn good

There’s a natural order, least that’s what I have found

There’s a limit on the time you get to stick around

Book a table in a restaurant, but you can’t sit there all night

There’s another party waiting, and the maitre d’s uptight

Something is relentless, like an ocean wave

You got to take it lying down, from the cradle to the grave

But if there’s one small comfort, one thing I know is true

That something out to get me is out to get you too
