Текст песни Highway 61 Visited - Paris Street

When Memphis gives way
And nothing takes its place
But barren fields and casino billboards

Past the husks of mobile homes
Impossible to feel more alone
And even the devil doesn't come 'round anymore

Progress stalled, time reversing
Humidity that's ever surging
The levees soon at the point of bursting
Everything at the river's mercy

A dog, a deer – who knows?
On the side of the road
Picked apart by turkey vultures

'Til nothing much remains
A skull, a spine, and a ribcage
Just one of many – they never hunger

Progress stalled, time reversing
Humidity that's ever surging
The levees soon at the point of bursting
Everything at the river's mercy

Beautifully apocalyptic
Entirely anachronistic
And yet so hard to resist it
Oddly serene and much worth the visit
