Lyrics
Prende quota il ritmo della notte
Fra tamburi e canti di guru
E sotto, sotto, sotto, sotto, sotto, sotto
C’e' quel movimento clandestino
Di cantine blues.
Una volta qui c’era il Bar Mario:
L’han tirato giu' tanti anni fa
E i vecchi, i vecchi, i vecchi,
I vecchi, i vecchi, i vecchi,
Sono ancora li' che dicono
Che senza non si fa.
E, su, il controllo sembra un tempio,
Non sanno che siamo quaggiu'.
Il plexiglass sara' l’esempio e noi rischiamo
Molto, ma, qua proprio non se ne puo' piu'.
Le anime in plexiglass
Stanno ballando un tango.
Le anime in plexiglass
Stan dimostrando come si fa uno show.
Le anime in plexiglass
Stan trasudando fango.
Le anime in plexiglass
Stanno insegnando:
Sgarrare non si puo', sgarrare non si puo',
Sgarrare non si puo'.
Camminando nel condotto sette
Si arriva nella New Carboneria:
E' qua, e' qua, e' qua, e' qua, e' qua, e' qua
Che si puo' far l’amore
Certi che la ronda non ci sia.
E poi c’e' il capo che ci riempie l’aria
Con la Gibson che ha rubato lui
E sopra, sopra, sopra,
Sopra, sopra, sopra
Vanno avanti con lo show
Che e' destinato pure a noi
E su, in controllo, sono tranquilli
Che replicanti non ce n’e'.
I vigilantes sono svegli:
E' dura stare al mondo nel 2123.
Le anime in plexiglass
Stanno ballando un tango.
Le anime in plexiglass
Stan dimostrando come si fa uno show.
Le anime in plexiglass
Stan trasudando fango.
Le anime in plexiglass
Stanno insegnando:
Sgarrare non si puo', sgarrare non si puo',
Sgarrare non si puo
Lyrics translation
Takes altitude the rhythm of the night
Between drums and guru songs
And under, under, under, under, under, under
There's that underground movement.
Of Blues cellars.
Once here was the Mario Bar:
They pulled it down years ago.
And the old, the old, the old,
The old, the old, the old,
They're still there saying
That without it is not done.
And, up, the control looks like a temple,
They don't know we're down here.
Plexiglass will be the example and we risk
A lot, but it just can't be done here.
The souls in plexiglass
They're dancing a tango.
The souls in plexiglass
Stan showing you how to do a show.
The souls in plexiglass
Stan oozing mud.
The souls in plexiglass
They're teaching:
You can't go, you can't go, you can't go, you can't go, you can't go, you can't go.,
You can't get away with it.
Walking in duct seven
You arrive in the new coal mine:
It's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's here
That you can make love
I'm sure the Watch isn't there.
And then there's the boss who fills our air
With the Gibson he stole
And over, over, over,
Over, over, over
They go on with the show
Which is meant for us too
And up, in control, they are quiet
There's no replicants.
The vigilantes are awake:
It's hard to be in the world in 2123.
The souls in plexiglass
They're dancing a tango.
The souls in plexiglass
Stan showing you how to do a show.
The souls in plexiglass
Stan oozing mud.
The souls in plexiglass
They're teaching:
You can't go, you can't go, you can't go, you can't go, you can't go, you can't go.,
You can't unload
