I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

Be afraid of the lame, they'll inherit your legs
Be afraid of the old, they'll inherit your souls
Be afraid of the cold, they'll inherit your blood

Somewhere far away where i roam
There live my buffalo twin in our twin buffalo home
He calls me by my native name
And takes good care of my native son
He even lets us drink spring water on sundays 2.99 a gallon

And somewhere further down the road where i also roam
There lives my caterpillar cousin beneath a fancy engraved tomb head stone

He stumbled into faith and thought, God this is all there is
The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
And all the Gods and all the worlds
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue

Blue lips, blue veins

He took a step but then felt tired, he said I'll rest a little while

You are so sweet
Dancing to that beat

There's a meat market down the street
The boys and the girls watch each other eat

You are so sweet, so sweet
Dancing and moving to that beat, that beat

Some said the local lake had been enchanted
Others said it must have been the weather
The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet
But I swear that I could hear the laughter
So they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge
Cause of a night that lake had turned to stick as butter
But the local kids would still go swimming, drinking
Saying hat to them it doesn't matter

He never ever saw it coming at all
He never ever saw it coming at all
He never ever saw it coming at all

It's al-right, it's al-right, it's al-right, it's al-right
It's al-right, it's al-right, it's al-right

Hey, open wide here comes original sin

How can I forget your love
How can I never see you again?
There is a time and place
For one more sweet embrace
And there's a time ooh
Where it all ohh
Went wrong
I guess you know by now

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head

No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God when they're starving or freezing or so very poor

No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God when it's gotten real late
And their kid's not back from the party yet
No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake

There was a love affair in this building
The kind of love affair, which every respectable building must keep as a legend
Slowly festering through an innocent by the way or have you heard
He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer and mothers prefer doctors and law-yers...

Yet despite this imperfection he was clean looking and respectable looking
And you'll never find a mother who doesn't appreciate a natural man
So he grew healthy aloe Vera plants by the window

The man of a thousand faces



The man of a thousand faces
Sits down at the table
Eats a small lump of sugar
And smiles at the moon like he knows her

this is how it works
it feels a little worse
and when we drove our hearse
right through that screaming crowd
while laughing up a storm
until we were just bone
until it got so warm
that none of us could sleep

if you're never sorry
then you can't be forgiven
if you're not forgiven
then you can't be forgotten
if you're not forgotten
then you can live forever
if you live forever
then you'll begin to dream

Thought I'd cry for you forever
But I couldn't so I didn't
People's children die and they don't even cry forever
Thought I'd see your face in my mind for all time
But I don't even remember what your ears looked like

And the clock still strikes midnight and noon
And the sun still rises and so does the moon

Somedays aren't yours at all,
They come and go
As if they're someone else's days
They come and leave you behind someone else's face
And it's harsher than yours
And colder than yours

They come in all quiet

Two birds

Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away and the other
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well but he is a liar

I kissed your lips and I tasted blood
I asked you what happened and you said, There'd been a fight.
You said I've been fighting for your honor but you wouldn't understand
I said hold on your honor I'll get ice for your hand

Oh you been fighting for my honor and I don't understand
But hold on your honor I'll get ice for your hand.

Стихи Булата Окуджавы

Пока Земля еще вертится, пока еще ярок свет,
Господи, дай ты каждому, чего у него нет:
умному дай голову, трусливому дай коня,
дай счастливому денег... И не забудь про меня.

Пока Земля еще вертится, Господи, твоя власть,
