Lyrics Stories of the Street (Take 5) (17 Oct Session) - Leonard Cohen
The
stories
of
the
street
are
mine,
the
Spanish
voices
laugh
The
Cadillacs
go
creeping
now
through
the
night
and
the
poison
gas
And
I
lean
from
my
window
sill
in
this
old
hotel
I
chose
Yes
one
hand
on
my
suicide,
one
hand
on
the
rose
I
know
you've
heard
it's
over
now
and
war
must
surely
come
The
cities
they
are
broke
in
half
and
the
middle
men
are
gone
But
let
me
ask
you
one
more
time,
O
children
of
the
dusk
All
these
hunters
who
are
shrieking
now
oh
do
they
speak
for
us?
And
where
do
all
these
highways
go,
now
that
we
are
free?
Why
are
the
armies
marching
still
that
were
coming
home
to
me?
O
lady
with
your
legs
so
fine
O
stranger
at
your
wheel
You
are
locked
into
your
suffering
and
your
pleasures
are
the
seal
The
age
of
lust
is
giving
birth,
and
both
the
parents
ask
The
nurse
to
tell
them
fairy
tales
on
both
sides
of
the
glass
And
now
the
infant
with
his
cord
is
hauled
in
like
a
kite
And
one
eye
filled
with
blueprints,
one
eye
filled
with
night
O
come
with
me
my
little
one,
we
will
find
that
farm
And
grow
us
grass
and
apples
there
and
keep
all
the
animals
warm
And
if
by
chance
I
wake
at
night
and
I
ask
you
who
I
am
O
take
me
to
the
slaughterhouse,
I
will
wait
there
with
the
lamb
With
one
hand
on
the
hexagram
and
one
hand
on
the
girl
I
balance
on
a
wishing
well
that
all
men
call
the
world
We
are
so
small
between
the
stars,
so
large
against
the
sky
And
lost
among
the
subway
crowds
I
try
to
catch
your
eye
