Catcher in The Rye [«Над Пропастью во Ржи» Джером Дэвид Сэлинджер, 1951]
When all is said and done We're not the only ones Who look at life this way That's what the old folks say But every time I’d see them Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy Well I guess I'd have more fun Guess I'd have more fun
the Catcher in the Rye again won't let ya get away from his gun It's just another day like today
You decide If I don't have to Then they'll find And I won't ask you At anytime Or long thereafter If it's cold outside I'll be wrapped up in into me
(Solo)
the Catcher in the Rye again won't let ya get away from his gun It's just another day like today
When all is said and done We're not the only ones Who look at life this way That's what the young folks say As if they'd ever change That's not whom I to say But every time I'd see them Makes me wish I had a gun If I thought that I was crazy Well I guess I'd have more fun It's what used to be's not there for me And ought to find someone that belongs insane like I do
Oh no Not at all (repeat)
On an ordinary day Not in an ordinary way All at once the song I heard No longer wouldn't play for anybody Or anyone That needed comfort from somebody Needed comfort from someone who cared To be Not like you And Unlike me And then then voices ran away From me So now you set the wheels in motion It Haunts our memories You were the instrument You were the one How a body tipped a bottle And Gave that boy a gun You Took our innocence Beyond our scabs Sometimes the only thing You got at all When no one else is there
