Ezra Furman - Restless Year [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Doo-Wop Refrain]

[Verse 1]
I set up camp in the center of town
Ready for freedom when it all comes down
Snapping my fingers, walking around
I'm the dusty jewel in the thrown-out crown

[Verse 2]
Got a bus pass to make my way
From hideout to hideout in the heat of the day
I got a talisman tote with the whole array
And when you catch my coat-tails I'll be miles away

[Chorus]
Restless year
It was another restless year
It was a restless year
For a while we had no fear

[Verse 2]
Yeah, bloody nose in the all night diner
Rolling with Rose and Miss Mariel Steiner
You can't pin her down, you can't define her
Dostoevsky, dime store copy

[Doo-Wop Refrain]

[Verse 3]
Making the rounds in my five dollar dress
I can't go home, though I'm not homeless
I'm just another savage in the wilderness
And if you can't calm down you can listen to this

[Bridge]
(Death!) Is my former employer
(Death!) Is my own Tom Sawyer
(Death!) Waits for me to destroy her
I never wanna die and I never grow older yeah

[Doo-Wop Refrain]

[Chorus]
Restless year
It was another restless year
It was a restless year
Don't tell me anything I don't want to hear
