《Joey(Live at Sullivan Stadium， Foxborough， MA - July 1987)》歌词

[00:00:00] Joey (乔伊) (Live) - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)/Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

[00:00:03] Born in Red Hook Brooklyn in the year of who knows when

[00:00:28] Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion

[00:00:34] Always on the outside of whatever side there was

[00:00:40] When they asked him why it had to be that way "Well " he answered "just

[00:00:46] Because "

[00:00:47] Larry was the oldest Joey was next to last

[00:00:53] They called Joe "Crazy " the baby they called "Kid Blast "

[00:01:00] Some say they lived off gambling and runnin' numbers too

[00:01:06] It always seemed they got caught between the mob and the men in blue

[00:01:13] Joey Joey

[00:01:19] King of the streets child of clay

[00:01:25] Joey Joey

[00:01:31] What made them want to come and blow you away

[00:01:38] There was talk they killed their rivals but the truth was far from that

[00:01:58] No one ever knew for sure where they were really at

[00:02:05] When they tried to strangle Larry Joey almost hit the roof

[00:02:11] He went out that night to seek revenge thinkin' he was bulletproof

[00:02:18] The war broke out at the break of dawn it emptied out the streets

[00:02:25] Joey and his brothers suffered terrible defeats

[00:02:31] Till they ventured out behind the lines and took five prisoners

[00:02:38] They stashed them away in a basement called them amateurs

[00:02:44] The hostages were tremblin' when they heard a man exclaim

[00:02:51] "Let's blow this place to kingdom come let Con Edison take the blame "

[00:02:58] But Joey stepped up he raised his hand said "We're not those kind of men

[00:03:05] It's peace and quiet that we need to go back to work again "

[00:03:12] Joey Joey

[00:03:17] King of the streets child of clay

[00:03:25] Joey Joey

[00:03:31] What made them want to come and blow you away

[00:03:38] The police department hounded him they called him Mr Smith

[00:03:58] They got him on conspiracy they were never sure who with

[00:04:05] "What time is it " said the judge to Joey when they met

[00:04:11] "Five to ten " said Joey The judge says "That's exactly what you get "

[00:04:18] He did ten years in Attica reading Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich

[00:04:25] They threw him in the hole one time for tryin' to stop a strike

[00:04:32] His closest friends were black men 'cause they seemed to understand

[00:04:38] What it's like to be in society with a shackle on your hand

[00:04:48] When they let him out in '71 he'd lost a little weight

[00:04:52] But he dressed like Jimmy Cagney and I swear he did look great

[00:04:59] He tried to find the way back into the life he left behind

[00:05:05] To the boss he said "I have returned and now I want what's mine "

[00:05:12] Joey Joey

[00:05:19] King of the streets child of clay

[00:05:26] Joey Joey

[00:05:32] Why did they have to come and blow you away

[00:05:38] It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun

[00:05:58] "I'm around too many children " he'd say "they should never know of one "

[00:06:05] Yet he walked right into the clubhouse of his lifelong deadly foe

[00:06:12] Emptied out the register said "Tell 'em it was Crazy Joe "

[00:06:19] One day they blew him down in a clam bar in New York

[00:06:25] He could see it comin' through the door as he lifted up his fork

[00:06:32] He pushed the table over to protect his family

[00:06:38] Then he staggered out into the streets of Little Italy

[00:06:45] Joey Joey

[00:06:52] King of the streets child of clay

[00:06:58] Joey Joey

[00:07:05] What made them want to come and blow you away

[00:07:11] Sister Jacqueline and Carmela and mother Mary all did weep

[00:07:32] I heard his best friend Frankie say "He ain't dead he's just asleep "

[00:07:38] Then I saw the old man's limousine head back towards the grave

[00:07:45] I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son that he could not save

[00:07:51] The sun turned cold over President Street and the town of Brooklyn mourned

[00:07:58] They said a mass in the old church near the house where he was born

[00:08:04] And someday if God's in heaven overlookin' His preserve

[00:08:10] I know the men that shot him down will get what they deserve

[00:08:17] Joey Joey

[00:08:24] King of the streets child of clay

[00:08:31] Joey Joey

[00:08:37] What made them want to come and blow you away

[00:08:44] What made them want to come and blow you away
