Текст песни Jack Kerouac - Skid Row Wine (Performed By Maggie Estep & The Spitters)

Исполнитель: Jack Kerouac


I coulda done a lot worse than sit

in skid row drinkin wine

To know that nothing matters after all,

To know there’s no real difference

between the rich & the poor

To know that eternity is neither drunk

nor sober, to know it young

and be a poet

Coulda gone into business & ranted

and believed that God was concerned

Instead I squatted in lonesome alleys

and nobody saw me, just my bottle

and what they saw of it was empty

and I did it in cornfields & graveyards

To know that the dead don’t make noise

To know that the cornstalks talk (among

one another with raspy old arms)

Sittin in alleys diggin the neons

and watching cathedral custodians

wring out their rags neath the church steps
Sittin and drinkin wine

and in railyards being divine
