LOW VISIBILITY BLUES

Low Visibility Blues
Well the
streets are cold and the
rain's falling slow
My brakes are busted and
visibility's low
The cars going by they all seem to
move too fast
Feels like another story that ain't
going to last
Sometimes you work so much you got no
time to eat
Sometimes you walk so much you can't
feel your feet
Some people talk so much you got no
time to think
I want to write things down but I've
got no ink
And I'm
lost among streets that I should
know by now
Shouldn't be out alone at this
kind of hour
And the road you're on
it's got no name
I'm getting too old
for this game
December's cruel, it's got
black dog's teeth
It's going to chase me right into
January
I want the most but I guess I'm going to
have to take the least
That's what you get when you drive too
carefully
And I don't know where I'm going to
live next year
The mayor said, Get out of town son, we don't
need your kind round here
'N' you tell me things and I don't
know if they're true
That doesn't stop me from
talking to you
Oh but
most of the time we just say
nothing at all
We'd maybe like to fly but we're too
scared to fall
And the wind blows so hard it just might
kill the flame
We're getting too cold
for this game
And I
like to look but now you tell me
I can't touch
Now you're telling everybody you never really did
like it all that much
You got so many masks I don't know
which one is you
That doesn't stop me from
trying to get through to you
And I
try to log in but I ain't
got the code
Don't seem to have the tools to find the
motherlode
Want to get to the core before it
goes up in flames
We're getting too cold
maybe just getting too cold
for this game

laure probablement
on s'est tombé-e dessus à lacourtensourt
le quai de gare est plutôt court
elle m'a demandé d'où je sors
j'ai dit le dernier train
elle m'amenait dans la salle d'attente
il n'y avait personne là-dedans
il était quinze heures trois
on avait jusqu'à quinze heures vingt
quinze heures dix-neuf l'alarme sonnait
nous sommes ressorti-e-s sur le quai
juste le temps de se rhabiller
en panique
elle monte dans le train – je demande son nom
elle me dit laure probablement
puis elle disparait derrière
la porte électronique
laure probablement
elle n'est pas pour l'engagement
elle attend toujours le prochain ou la prochaine
elle court toujours vers l'avant
de toute façon elle a le temps
but i hope i'll see laure probably again
la vie est redev'nue banale
je pensais a ses dents cannibales
un soir quand j'attendais
un train de nuit
et je l'ai vu dans l'entretemps
elle buvait un café dedans
elle a croqué dans son croissant
et m'a souri
ah c'était mon tour maintenant
j'ai dit bonjour probablement
elle m'a demandé d'où je tombe
j'ai dit la dernière pluie
j'ai demandé où tu vas?
elle m'a juste répondu par là
j'ai dit ça tombe bien
j'y vais aussi
laure probablement
elle n'est pas pour l'engagement
elle attend toujours le prochain ou la prochaine
elle court toujours vers l'avant
de toute façon elle a le temps
but i hope i'll see laure probably again
where ya goin' laure?
gettin' on that night train
all the way through
all the way through to kalamazoo
where ya goin' laure?
gettin' on that night train...
