The Drifter - Shoeshine Blue

He's been chasing white lines underneanth the open sky Following them far away from the ones he left behind And even though he's misses her He was born a traveler White line after white line he inhales White line after white line he inhales He's a drifter and a gambler He's a lonely rolling stone He's a dreamer and a rambler And the highway is his home All the pain that he's collected On a long and wicked road It's in his eyes But the dream in inside the drifter never dies People turn to vampires on these veins of interstate Hearts gift-wrapped in barbed wire as they move from place to place And he can nail them on the wind The demons chasing after him White line after white line he exhales White line after white line he exhales He's a drifter and a gambler He's a lonely rolling stone He's a dreamer and a rambler And the highway is his home All the pain that he's collected On a long and wicked road is in his eyes But the dream in inside the drifter never dies And even though he misses her He was born a traveler White line after white line he inhales White line after white line he exhales

I was born a rambling man An' I never got the chance To settle down an' get a hold on love Takin' air an' movin' around Is all I can see that I'm doin' An' it is bringin' me down Drivin' on a highway going nowhere Desolation destination Guess I'll find it somewhere I know if there's trouble I ain't takin' the blame That's why I keep movin' So nobody knows my name Born a loser I'm beyond the law Women behind me Never can find me They can never get together What I've been here for Cos I'm a drifter Rollin' on Ain't wastin' my time no more

君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す チクリと刺す胸の痛みは 懐かしさより前に 思い出が巡り回るのは あの海岸通り 二人の景色は 時を止めたまま 波音に目を閉じた 今年も夏が来る... 君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す 蒼い空と海と心は君でアザだらけ 今でも消えないよ 賑わう夏祭り 混み合う人の波 はぐれないように君の手を握った moment 蘇るのは You and I そればっか 変わり映えない日々に重なった 想い出は綺麗なまま 今年も夏が来る... 君のことはもう忘れてたはずなのに 夏の風が不意に君を呼び戻す 蒼い空と海と心は君でアザだらけ 今でも消えないよ 変わりゆく Blue ただ一人冷めた砂の上を 歩き続けているよ 君の帰らないこの部屋で 灯り続けるだけの Candle 焼きつくほど聴いた 君の好きな歌を 今更 口ずさむよ 見上げた夜空 今君も見ていますか あの日見た星は今日も降りつづく 思い出たちが歌うメロディー 君との蒼い日々 今でも消えないよ あの夏が消えないよ

I am becalmed in virtue Lost to nothing on a bay of dreams Warm weather and a holocaust The tears of God flow as I bleed Left to die by two good friends Abandoned me and put to sleep On a shore where oyster beds Seem plush as down And ripe enough for the Luxor dream Recall the dream of Luxor How fluids will arrive As if by call or schedule Resume through the morning tide Where entry is by seaweed gate And plan the plan of dreams To lose oneself in reverb In all that is and all that seems So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea The oyster boys are swimming now To claim me back from the dead The creatures back from vertigo They fear to fall but haven't fell Will reclaim tries and try again The oyster boys are swimming now Hear them chatter on the tide Of the lost and language lost Hear them chatter on the tide We understand, we understand, we understand And so do I We understand, we understand But fright is real and so am I So ladies, fish and gentlemen Here's my angled dream See me in the blue sky bag And meet me by the sea The entry to lost vestibule Opens on the bay An instant shape of mercury Lost and then retained An instant is an eyelash Caught on the tide Imaginos! Below this bay And then besides... The oyster boys are swimming now One deal is what we made Forest keys and whirlwind cold Green trees too and keys of gold Even locks that won't explode When the skies become a scroll Having lost its interest See that's the deal we made Just to join the Öyster Cult The Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand—Blue Öyster Cult We understand, we understand, we understand
