Joni Mitchell - Cold blue steel and sweet fire
Tekst :
Cold blue steel out of money
one eye for the beat police
sweet fire calling
“You can’t deny me
now you know what you need”
underneath the jungle gym
hollow grey fire-escape-thief
looking for sweet fire
shadow of lady release
“Come with me
I know the way” she says
“It’s down, down, down the dark ladder
do you want to contact somebody first
leave someone a letter
you can come now
or you can come later”
a wristwatch, a ring, a downstairs screamer
edgy – black cracks of the sky
“pin cushion-prick
fix this poor bad dreamer!”
“Money” cold shadows reply
pawnshops crisscrossed and padlocked
corridors spit on prayers and pleas
sparks fly up from sweet fire
black soot of lady release
“Come with me
I know the way” she says
“It’s down, down, down the dark ladder
do you want to contact somebody first
does it really matter
if you come now
or if you come on later?”
red water in the bathroom sink
fever and the scum brown bowl
blue steel still begging
but it’s indistinct
someone’s Hi-Fi drumming Jelly Roll
concrete concentration camp
bashing in veins for peace
cold blue steel and sweet fire
fall into lady release
“Come with me
I know the way” she says
“It’s down, down, down the dark ladder
do you want to contact somebody first
I mean what does it really matter
you’re going to come now
or you’re going to come later”

Should anybody ask for me
Tell em I ll be right back
In a real short time,
It s just that I lost my mind
Gotta find it
Who wants to hop on my train of thought
I ll get back here,...
The first bowl on the earth
the second bowl on the sea
the third bowl on the rivers
the fourth bowl on the sun

Neonske noci, neki prazni pogledi.
Cudne misli sakrivam,
Grad je hladan kada ostanes sam...
Kratak je dah,
Sve veci je strah sto se budi.
Sve nestaje,
Sve postalo je hladno kao ova noc.
Secanje na slike iz sna...Devedesete.
Hladan znoj me obliva, budim se.
Prolazi vek, mislim da vreme svemu...
Burning your fiddle that’s an easy job
If you set the twilight reeling
I’ve got 15 cents is that alright with you?
No you didn’t want that, bad
And your dad is rich but your brother’s poor
And your children sing come on, come on
Join my circle now make...
