Текст песни When Your Luck Ran Out (Redgum) с переводом

City streets are poison

For a country girl like you

Smoke filled rooms and petrol fumes

Hanging around with the desperate crew

Blinded by the bright lights

Sweet seduction steals your will

You fell too quick for that three card trick

Now they’re coming around to collect their bills

But there was nobody there

When your luck ran out

No-one who cared

No-one there to carry you through

The darkness and despair

And your dope scene friends

They picked you up

And tossed you down again

They left you lying there

When your luck ran out

Too far gone to care

Country town can’t hold you

When you’ve seen the world out there

They shut up shop at eight o’clock

And you want to break out but there’s nowhere

The town hall clock strikes midnight

And you’re waiting for the train

You leave your home and all your friends

And don’t come back again

Smokey haze sets the stage

For a one-act tragedy

Junkie’s binge and an old syringe

Snow-white misery

The stagnant gloom of a rented room

Sees you limp against the wall

You pushed your luck a bit too much

And missed your curtain call
