Bullet Train (feat. Joni Fatora) - Stephen Swartz

All the people at this party They've got a lot of style They've got stamps of many countries They've got passport smiles Some are friendly Some are cutting Some are watching it from the wings Some are standing in the centre Giving to get something Photo beauty gets attention Then her eye paint's running down She's got a rose in her teeth And a lampshade crown One minute she's so happy Then she's crying on someone's knee Saying laughing and crying You know it's the same release I told you when I met you I was crazy Cry for us all beauty Cry for Eddie in the corner Thinking he's nobody And Jack behind his joker And stone-cold Grace behind her fan And me in my frightened silence Thinking I don't understand I feel like I'm sleeping Can you wake me You seem to have a broader sensibility I'm just living on nerves and feelings With a weak and a lazy mind And coming to peoples parties Fumbling deaf dumb and blind I wish I had more sense of humor Keeping the sadness at bay Throwing the lightness on these things Laughing it all away Laughing it alI away Laughing it all away

I slept last night in a good hotel I went shopping today for jewels The wind rushed around in the dirty town And the children let out from the schools I was standing on a noisy corner Waiting for the walking green Across the street he stood and he played real good On his clarinet, for free Now me, I play for fortunes And those velvet curtain calls I've got a black limousine and two gentlemen Escorting me to the halls And I play if you have the money Or if you're a friend to me But the one man band by the quick lunch stand He was playing real good, for free Nobody stopped to hear him Though he played so sweet and high They knew he had never been on their TV So they passed his music by I meant to go over and ask for a song Maybe put on a harmony I heard his refrain as the signal changed He was playing real good, for free

A red sun came rolling down a grey sky And the frogs and dogs and night birds then Started up singing sweet country lullaby You see that patch of city lights Somewhere in there's Cotton Avenue That's where I'm going to take myself tonight With a spit shine on my dancing shoes If you got a place like that to go You just have to go there If you got no place special Well then, you just go no place special I guess it's just the summer in the young blood Ripe and juicy in the young blood Teasing to go down to Cotton Avenue To hear the shiny shiny music See all the shiny people dancing to it Anytime you go to Cotton Avenue If you got a place like that to go You know you got to go there If you got no place special Well then you just go no place special You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky By the time it hits here I'll be dancing high and dry To rhythm and blues on Cotton Avenue Poor boys'll be hanging around outside in the street They got all the latest words They're dancing to the latest beat While they're hustling and sizing you On Cotton Avenue If you got a place like that to go You just have to go there If you've got no place special Well my dear You just go no place special

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
