Intro: Dm
|
He was jealous of her for the rain
|
And covered with a denim jacket
|
Her June curls
|
And the umbrella was pressed to the elbow.
|
The day waited for darkness
|
Life started from the middle
|
And closed shops
|
Their unbridled mouths.
|
The winds stood their ground
|
The shaky chain of priesthood,
|
And the vulgar Admiralty
|
Rented out angels
|
But instead of stars they were cherished
|
Two good spirits Gin and Tonic,
|
And the world seemed to drown in them,
|
Barely touching the ground...
|
Chorus:
|
And it seemed to me
|
And it seemed to me
|
Bbmaj Gm7
|
That white envy is not a sin,
|
That black envy is not smoke.
|
And I didn't write
|
I didn't write
|
I didn’t write that night, -
|
I used to be a great mute.
|
He was jealous of her for the gods
|
And hid under the bridge from the sky,
|
And the pigeons asked for bread
|
And they broke for glasses.
|
The flesh was carried, and the spirit again
|
Stormil in a nine-point dance -
|
From the inability to stay
|
To the point of impossibility to appease.
|
And an evening of long cigarettes
|
Shed with municipal color,
|
And he scared the sphinxes with the answer
|
For every tricky question.
|
And, apparently, not fun for -
|
Through the veins, blood against the flow.
|
A moment of brakes, wheel alignment2,
|
And again - solid ground.
|
Chorus:
|
And it seemed to me
|
And everything seemed to me
|
That white envy is not a bluff,
|
That black envy is not smoke.
|
And I didn't write
|
I didn't write again
|
Not sung and not written, -
|
I used to be a great mute.
|
And the ninth wave receded,
|
And dissolved his sugar in a haze...
|
To poems, to Dovlatov, to "Ordynka"3
|
He inspired jealousy,
|
But instead of rhymes they ran after
|
Two young sphinxes Gin and Tonic,
|
And the air was stubborn and thin,
|
Soaking up the scattered dawn. |
