Текст песни The Bullet & Big D (Bishop Allen) с переводом

On monday dealey plaza fills

With people on the way

To the court houses and meeting rooms

But me, I’m free today

And I traced the path the motorcade

Took back in sixty-three

Past the grassy knoll into the book depository

They put in a museum where they say the shots were fired

It’s closed today but I don’t mind

I’m already getting tired

There’s photographs and headlines

And diagrams of the street

They’re showing the zapruder film

It’s always on repeat

Last night I dreamt I was the bullet

From frame 313

The one that scattered his head around the limosine

I was right there for his final thoughts, of john-john and jackie

And oh my God Big D

Back then everybody worried further to the south

Missles screamed across Miami, trail and fall out

Teachers drilled their students hiding underneath their desks

To fear the twitchy trigger finger, of old Krushchev

But Cuba couldn’t kill nobody, not like Dallas could

When I was growing up there, I understood

Remember when I’d pick you up

Outside your mothers house?

The two of you were fighting, and we promised we’d get out

Out far from the narrowness and the confines and the doubt

We’d leave behind all that we know and never turn around

Cut the strings and tear away from all that kept us down

And oh my god big D

Now I fly out of Laguardia, or out of JFK

And I land at DFW and I drive down LBJ

And the houses and the shopping centers, don’t make me afraid

Why they ever did, it’s hard now to explain

But you, you never really left, for you was it the same?

And oh my god Big D

November 22nd I was at the kitchen sink

Just like everyone remembers where they were in ‘63

The shudder that shot through me with that unexpexted call

I locked the bathroom door and hit my fist against the wall

I should of come to rescue you, I should have should have yes

What happened in the past ten years, I coulda guessed

Remember when I would carry you, and lay you in your bed

And promised to take care of you, but I just left instead

Last night I dreamt I was the pills you swallowed down

I tried to come back up, but you wouldn’t let me out

And I couldn’t help but wonder, did think of me?

And oh my god big D
