Shakey davey's got a twelve gauge in his handDavey tembloroso tiene una escopeta de calibre doce en la mano
It's sawed off to the limitEstá recortada hasta el límite
He's got a vague planTiene un plan vago
There's this liquor store on madisonHay una licorería en Madison
There's another one down on Washington squareHay otra en Washington Square
He's pretty sure no one's ever seen himEstá bastante seguro de que nadie lo ha visto
Down around therePor allá
The first one's birdshot the next four are double aught buckLa primera es perdigón, las siguientes cuatro son de doble cero
The last one's a slug just for good luckLa última es una bala solo por si acaso
He's got his works in his pocketTiene sus cosas en el bolsillo
He wants to score as soon as he's doneQuiere conseguir droga tan pronto termine
He can't wait to get straight to get long goneNo puede esperar para ponerse bien y largarse
He puts on his long coat scribbles off a short noteSe pone su largo abrigo, escribe una nota corta
Sits himself down and waits for the Sun to go downSe sienta y espera a que el sol se ponga
It's right around midnight and there's still too damn many people on this streetEs justo alrededor de medianoche y todavía hay demasiada gente en esta calle
He's walked all the way from battery park he's got sweaty hands and burnin' feetHa caminado todo el camino desde Battery Park, tiene las manos sudorosas y los pies ardiendo
He's desperate for a fixEstá desesperado por una dosis
His body's screamin' "get me high"Su cuerpo está gritando 'hazme volar'
He bursts through the door and lets one flyIrrumpe por la puerta y dispara
Sunrise in the park and davey's cold as stoneAmanece en el parque y Davey está frío como una piedra
He got some bad merchandise and he was all aloneConsiguió mercancía mala y estaba completamente solo
Two more unsolved mysteries a iot of paper pushed aroundDos misterios más sin resolver, un montón de papeles moviéndose
Most folks are just wakin' up in this great big townLa mayoría de la gente apenas está despertando en esta gran ciudad
