Sammy's Song (Album Version)

歌詞

Somewhere in the south of Spain Sammy, still sixteen, goes with his uncle for a ride The sun is high Sailing through the city For to see the sights and the talking sex Sammy's sitting tall The sun is high His uncle brings him to a brothel Being big, he buys a drink Rum and Coke Don't taste too bad Having brought him to the brink His uncle leaves him with his drink Rum and Coke Don't taste too bad The girls all gather in a group And give Sammy boy the eye And stare at him seductively And try to make him buy So choosing one that's younger Better looking than the rest Sammy speaks no Spanish but she understands They go upstairs to buy the room She wants her money in advance Sammy speaks no Spanish but he understands And lying on her back upon the bed she beckons Sammy won't lie down yet He wants her nude Speaking Spanish, she refuses him At last, afraid of losing him She takes off all her clothes He wants her nude Her hands upon her heart can hardly hide the horrid scars From her shoulder to her waist, her skin is leathery and hard She pantomimes an accident A car, a fire, not so long ago His eyes are wide She moves to put her clothes back on But he won't let her go He lies her down His eyes are wide And lightly, like a lover Sammy lets his lips caress the leather of her breast His brain is numb Moved by some far, distant mind He makes himself her bridegroom Sammy's hardly there at all His brain is numb She moves to take him in now But her hand finds him still slack So she sucks to make him hard And then again lies on her back And Sammy does the deed to silent screaming in his skull The scars surround him Is this all real? Schizophrenic, Sammy sees himself Outside his body and his brain Is this all real? And back at the hotel he has to heal himself But all he does is shake And shake some more Without the grace of tears or sickness Sammy sucks it all inside and shakes And shakes some more Without the grace of tears or sickness Sammy sucks it all inside and shakes And shakes some more
