Shots / Spari
Shots
Ringing all along the borders
Can be heard striking out
Like a venom in the sky
Cutting through the air
Faster than a bird
In the night
Children
Are lost in the sand
Building roads with little hands
Trying to join their fathers' castles together again
Will they make it?
Who knows where or when
Old wounds will mend?
Machines
Are winding their way along
Looking strong
Building roads
And bringing back loads and loads
Of building materials
In the night
Men
Are trying to move
The borders on the ground
Lines between the different spots that each has found
But back home
Another scene was going down
In the night
Lust
Comes creepin'
Through the night to feed on hearts
Of suburban wives
Who learned to pretend
When they met their dream's end
In the night
Shots
I hear shots
I keep hearing shots
I keep hearing shots
I hear shots
Shots
I hear shots
I keep hearing shots
I hear shots
I hear shots
I hear shots
I keep hearing shots
I hear shots

Spari
Risuonano lungo il confine
Li puoi sentire diffondersi
Come veleno nel cielo
Sferzando l'aria
Più veloci di un uccello
Nella notte
Bambini
Si perdono nella sabbia
Costruendo strade con piccole mani
Cercando di raggiungere i castelli dei padri
Ci riusciranno?
Chissà se o quando
Le vecchie ferite saranno sanate
Macchine
Si spianano il terreno
Poderose
Costruendo strade
E riportando carichi e carichi
Di materiali di costruzione
Nella notte
Uomini
Cercano di spostare
I confini sul terreno
Linee tra i diversi posti che ognuno ha trovato
Ma a casa
Un'altra scena si stava consumando
Nella notte
Lussuria
Arriva strisciando
Nella notte per nutrirsi dei cuori
Di mogli di periferia
Che hanno imparato a fingere
Quando hanno visto la fine del loro sogno
Nella notte
Spari
Sento gli spari
Continuo a sentire gli spari
Continuo a sentire gli spari
Sento gli spari
Spari
Sento gli spari
Continuo a sentire gli spari
Sento gli spari
Sento gli spari
Sento gli spari
Continuo a sentire gli spari
Sento gli spari

VERSI AGGIUNTIVI
[fonte: bootleg, concerti del 1978]
But I'll never use your love
You know I'm not that kind
And so if you give your heart away
I promise to you
Whatever we do
That I will always be true
You know I'm not that kind
And so if you give your heart away
I promise to you
Whatever we do
That I will always be true

Ma non userò mai il tuo amore
Sai che non sono il tipo
E quindi se dai via il tuo cuore
Ti prometto
Qualunque cosa faremo
Che sarò sempre vero
Sai che non sono il tipo
E quindi se dai via il tuo cuore
Ti prometto
Qualunque cosa faremo
Che sarò sempre vero
