Friction (studio: 1975-08-xx: New York City, NY, USA)

I knew it musta been some big set-up.

Je savais que ça devait être un gros coup monté.

All the Action just would not let up.

Toute l'action ne voulait pas s'arrêter.

It's just a little bit back from the main road

C'est juste un peu en retrait de la route principale

Where the silence spreads and the men dig holes.

Où le silence se répand et les hommes creusent des trous.

I start to spin the tale

Je commence à tisser l'histoire

You complain of my diction

Tu te plains de ma diction

You give me friction

Tu me donnes de la friction

But I dig friction

Mais j'aime la friction

You know I'm crazy about friction

Tu sais que je suis dingue de friction

My eyes are like telescopes

Mes yeux sont comme des télescopes

I see it all backwards: but who wants hope?

Je vois tout à l'envers : mais qui veut de l'espoir ?

If I ever catch that ventriloquist

Si jamais j'attrape ce ventriloque

I'll squeeze his head right into my fist.

Je vais lui écraser la tête dans mon poing.

Something comes tracking down,

Quelque chose arrive en train de suivre,

What's the prediction?

Quelle est la prédiction ?

I'll betcha it's friction...

Je parie que c'est de la friction...

Stop this head motion... set the sails.

Arrête de bouger la tête... mets les voiles.

You know all us boys gonna wind up in jail.

Tu sais que tous les garçons finissent en prison.

I don't wanna grow up

Je ne veux pas grandir

There's too much contradiction

Il y a trop de contradiction
