《Joey’s On The Streets Again》歌词

[00:00:01] Joey's On The Streets Again - The Boomtown Rats

[00:00:06] Sooner or later when the dawn was breaking

[00:00:17] The joint was jumping and the walls were shaking

[00:00:20] Joey sneaked in the backdoor way

[00:00:23] Pretending he was with the band, he never used to pay

[00:00:27] He was no great draw at pulling the chicks

[00:00:30] He used to lie against the wall like he was holding up the bricks

[00:00:34] And all the things that guy used to do to get his kicks

[00:00:37] He was a legand in his lifetime with the neighborhood kids

[00:00:40] They said "Joey did this" and "Joey did that"

[00:00:43] Oh that guy was crazy, what a crazy cat

[00:00:47] Then something strange would happen, there's trouble on the way

[00:00:49] And trouble only means one thing....

[00:00:54] Joey's on the street again.

[00:01:03] Joey grew older, older without a cause

[00:01:06] Got married, had some kids and had his brushes with the law

[00:01:09] Settled down and got a job, then said "I'm leaving" one day

[00:01:12] "I've gotta hang loose a while, take care while I'm away."

[00:01:16] People said they'd seen him, they were nearly always wrong

[00:01:19] 'Cause no one knew how much he had, where he'd gone or for how long

[00:01:23] 'Til one day there came a rumor, floating from the docks

[00:01:25] Saying a crazy stranger had been found lying among the rocks.

[00:01:29] The said "Joey was this" and "Joey was that"

[00:01:32] Oh that guy was crazy, what a crazy cat

[00:01:36] But no one quite believed it, all rumors are the same

[00:01:39] And now if something happens they say....

[00:01:44] Joey's on the street again.

[00:02:58] When Joey moved away

[00:03:02] A lot of the kids said "I can't stay around here"

[00:03:08] They said "I'm moving out, going away

[00:03:15] They said "I'm leaving, getting out

[00:03:36] "I'm gonna go somewhere where it doesn't stink

[00:03:38] Away from the alleys, somewhere I can think

[00:03:41] Wash the dirt from my hands, watch it wash down the sink

[00:03:45] It's a strain on the brain living close to the brink

[00:03:48] Look at the brickwall gravestone where some kid was sprayed

[00:03:51] Saying nobody could be bothered here to rule O.K.

[00:03:55] Don't believe it, don't believe it what they say on TV

[00:03:58] There's no romance, no romance

[00:04:12] For Joey in this city.
