There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on Havia um rosto num cantinho Que alguém tinha desenhado And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning E tempo bastante para a noite passar sem aviso. Away in the distance there's a blue flashing light Away in the distance there's a blue flashing light Longe, bem longe há uma luz azul piscando Someone's in trouble somewhere tonight Someone's in trouble somewhere tonight Alguém está enrascado em algum lugar, hoje à noite. As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse Enquanto o neon pulsante está prestes a pifar The wind blows away all of yesterday's news The wind blows away all of yesterday's news O vento sopra longe todas as notícias de ontem. Well they've locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches Well they've locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches They always could find us but they never could catch us They always could find us but they never could catch us Eles trancaram suas filhas E cobriram as ninhadas Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe Eles sempre poderiam nos achar mas nunca nos pegariam. We watched the arrested get taken away We watched the arrested get taken away Pela lanela manchada de gordura De um café aberto a noite toda And that cigarette haze has ecology beat And that cigarette haze has ecology beat Assistíamos os presos serem levados. As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street E a fumaça dos cigarros tem um sabor ecológico `Cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire `Cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire Enquanto as putas e os bêbedos passam numa fila na rua. If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side Porque o vapor está na chaleira, o carvão no fogo Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died Se você perguntar como estou eu direi inspirado.
