Luyện nghe bài hát Potter's Field

Buy me a drink and I'll you what I seen
And I'll give you a bargain the edge of a maniac's dream
That buys a black widow spider a riddle in his yarn
That's to the furrow of a blind man's brow

I'll start from the brim of a thimble full 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
That stretched across the blacktop of my cheek like

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

Hell, I'd double my mother if it was whiskey that they payed
And so an early says Nightstick's on the hit parade
He ain't got a prayer and his days are
And track him down like a dog

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

He was in a yard in a switchblade storm
In a wheelbarrow with but revenge to keep him warm
And a half a million dollars in unmarked
Was the Nightstick's blanket in a chill

And as the drove a crooked sky
Beneath a black wing
He was dealin' high in the mud
And stackin' the against a dragnet's eye

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

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

He dressed the in his gut with a hundred dollar bandage
A king's ransom for a that don't amount to nuthin'
Just strings on a busted ukulele
And the Nightstick leaned on a black
With the poison of a junkie's broken 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 frozen ham and eggers at the penny
And throwin' out handfuls of a blood stained
They were dead in their tracks at the shootin'

And fired off a twenty-one gun salute
And the corner of his eye, he caught the alabaster orbs
And from a a dance hall 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
Ain't no one seen hide nor of him see
No one but a spade on Island and me

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

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

You ask for Charon with the mud on his kicks
He's the skipper of the deadline
And she sails from the across the river Styx
And a riddle's a ticket for a dreamer

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

'Cause you see a scarecrow, it's a hoodlum
Who the cards that he dealed
And a gypsy switch
Out on the edge of Field
