Translation
Bilingual
Well, he walked into town
He shot Johnny down and he sat on the green
He was back from the war his brain was on fire
And he lived in the darkness of dreams
Heaven knows the kid and the things that he did were wrong
But who is to blame
It's as much his crime as it is yours and mine
Shine a light on the dark of ghost town New York
We would sit by the tracks playing dice and jazz
When he lit the red motor in
And when his mother OD'd
He was just a bad seed
And not one of us here took him in
Heaven knows the kid and the things that he did were wrong
But who is to blame
It's as much his crime as it is yours and mine
Shine a light on the dark of ghost town New York (yeah)
It's a left at the fork
To Cairo, New York
And that's where I'm stranded in sorrow
Oh, but how can I go?
The fields deep in snow
And no buses run 'til tomorrow
Heaven knows the kid and the things that he did were wrong
But who is to blame?
It's as much his crime as it is yours and mine
Shine a light on the dark of ghost town New York
