http://lyricstranslate.com Waitress: "Hello… you wanna cup of coffee?" Trucker: "Hey… Turn the fucking Juke Box down" Waitress: "I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee? OK. You take cream and sugar? Sure."
In truck stops and hamburger joints In Cadillac limousines In the company of has-beens In bent-backs In sleeping forms on pavement steps In libraries and railway stations In books and banks In the pages of history In suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize [Wooo wooo-wooo] Myself in every stranger's eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments [Wooo wooo-wooo] Under tube trains in commuter accidents [Wooo wooo-wooo] In council care and countercourts At Easter fairs in sea-side resorts [Wooo wooo-wooo] In drawing rooms and city morgues In award winning photographs Of life rafts in the China seas [Wooo wooo-wooo] In transit camps, under arc lamps On loading ramps In faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize [Wooo wooo-wooo]
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now From where I stand Upon this hill, I plundered from the pool I look around, I search the skies I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways I recognize The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now As we lie here in the dark Nothing interferes, it's obvious How to beat the tears That threaten to snuff out The spark of our love
