Luyện nghe bài hát Potter's Field

Buy me a drink and I'll tell you I seen
And I'll give you a bargain from the edge of a dream
That buys a black spider with a riddle in his yarn
That's clinging to the furrow of a blind man's

I'll start talking from the brim of a thimble of whiskey
On a train through the Bronx that will you just as far
As the empty of a bottle to the highway of a
stretched across the blacktop of my cheek like that

And then ducks beneath the of a fugitive's hat
You'll learn why liquor a stool pigeon rat on every face
That ever left his down on Saint Marks place

Hell, I'd double cross my mother if it was whiskey that they
And so an early bird says on the hit parade
He got a prayer and his days are numbered
And you'll track him like a dog

Well, it's a tough customer, you're getting in this
'Cause the Nightstick's pumps lemonade
And keeps a blind man talkin' alright
And I'm the only one who knows just he stayed last night

He was in a wreckin' yard in a switchblade
In a wheelbarrow with nothing but revenge to keep him
And a half a million in unmarked bills
Was the Nightstick's blanket in a chill

And as the buzzard drove a sky
Beneath a black halo
He was dealin' Chicago in the mud
And the deck against a dragnet's eye

A Nightstick in a miserable heap
With the siren for a singing him to sleep
He was bleeding a buttonhole
Torn by a slug, fired from the of a two dollar gun

That scorched a blister on the of a punk by now
Is learnin' what you have to pay to be a anyhow

He dressed the in his gut with a hundred dollar bandage
A king's ransom for a bedspread that don't amount to
Just cobweb strings on a busted
And the Nightstick on a black shillelagh
the poison of a junkie's broken promise on his lip

He in the shadows screaming I ain't never been afraid
And he shot out every light on the promenade
Past the ham and eggers at the penny arcade
And throwin' out handfuls of a stained salary
They were dead in their tracks at the gallery

And fired off a twenty-one gun salute
And from the corner of his eye, he caught the orbs
And from a dime a dance girl and stuffed a thousand dollar bill
In her blouse and the cruel and unusual punishment of her smile

And the Nightstick winked beneath a rainsoaked
no one seen hide nor hair of him see
No one but a on Riker's Island and me

And so if you're mad enough to to a full of whiskey blind man
Then you're mad enough to look where bloodhounds dare to go
If you to know just where the Nightstick's hidin' out
You be down at the ferry landin', oh, let's say bout half past a

When twisted on a clock you tell 'em Nickels sentcha
Whiskey makes him talk

You ask for Captain with the mud on his kicks
the skipper of the deadline steamer
And she sails the Bronx across the river Styx
And a just a ticket for a dreamer

'Cause when the vane's sleepin' and the moon turns his back
You crawl on your belly the railroad tracks
And your heart and hope to die and stick a needle in your eye
'Cause cut my bleedin' heart out if he found out that I squealed

'Cause you see a scarecrow, just a hoodlum
Who marked the cards he dealed
And pulled a switch
Out on the edge of Potter's
