The Ballad of Tommy & Marla

A Balada de Tommy e Marla

The Ballad of Tommy & Marla

Tommy era um cara do valeTommy was a hessier from the valley
Ele estava tão queimado quanto um prédio após os tumultosHe was as burned out as a building from the riots
Ele tinha uma namorada rock'n'roll chamada MarlaHe had a rockin' little girfriend named marla
Ela era garçonete de coquetéis no pitShe was a cocktail waitress at the pit
Às vezes, nos finais de semana, eles andavam de jet skiSometimes on the weekends they'd ride jetskis
E levavam um trailer para o rioAnd they'd take a little trailer to the river
Levavam uma TV pra assistir Rick DeesThey'd bring along a t.v. to watch rick dees
Eles fumavam maconha e cheiravam cristalThey smoked dope and snorted crystal

Marla era magra como um poste de cercaMarla was as skinny as a fence post
E o pó no saquinho a fazia falarAnd the powder in the baggie made her talk
Às vezes ela penteava o cabelo como as PanterasSometimes she combed her hair like charlie's angels
Às vezes ela parecia tão estranha quanto o Sr. SpockSometimes she looked as weird as mr. spock
Às vezes, nos finais de semana, eles comiam fast foodSometimes on the weekends they'd eat fast food
E levavam seu El Camino para o desertoAnd they'd take his el camino to the desert
Andavam de moto nas dunas de areiaThey'd ride his motorcycles in the sand dunes
Eles fumavam maconha e cheiravam cristalThey smoked dope and snorted crystal
MetanfetaminaMeth

Tommy tinha uma paixão por armas de fogoTommy had a passion for firearms
Sua confiança parecia aumentar com issoHis confidence they really seemed to bolster
Ele comprou uma pistola de noventa dólares pra MarlaHe bought a ninety dollar pistol for his mar-mar
Ela guardava na sua pequena bolsa de meninaShe kept it in her little girlie holster
Às vezes, nos finais de semana, eles brigavamSometimes on the weekends they'd be fighting
E Tommy achava que sua garota estava mentindoAnd tommy thought his girl was telling lies
Ele pensava que ela estava se envolvendo com o baixistaHe thought that she was thumpin' with the bass player
Fumando toda a sua maconha e todo o seu cristalSmoking all his dope and all his crystal

Então Tommy começou a sofrer de delíriosThen tommy started suffering from delusions
Depois de cinco noites sem dormirAfter five nights without any sleep
Ele enfiou o punho pela janela do quarto de MarlaHe rammed his fist through marla's bedroom window
Ele enfiou as chaves do carro nos dentinhos sujos delaHe shoved his car keys through her dirty little teeth
Mas Marla colocou os dedos no gatilhoBut marla got her fingers on the trigger
Ela puxou o cabelo do Tommy com forçaShe grabbed her little tommy by the hair
A pistola ainda fumegava na bancadaThe pistol was still smoking on the counter
As sirenes gritavam pelo arThe sirens were screaming through the air
Grite e grite (não-o-o-o)Scream on and on (no-o-o-o)

Tommy era um cara do valeTommy was a hessier from the valley
Ele é apenas uma memória do seu pequeno mundo queimadoHe's just a memory of his burned-out little world
Marla está pegando trinta anos por assassinatoMarla's doing thirty years for murder
Ela diz que sabe que ainda é sua garotinha rock'n'rollShe says she knows she's still his rockin' little girl
Um dia, lá no céu, eles vão andar de jet skiSomeday up in heaven they'll ride jetskis
Vão escrever seus nomes na parede douradaThey'll scrawl thier names upon the golden wall
E talvez lá no céu eles assistam Rick DeesAnd maybe up in heaven they'll watch rick dees
Fumem um pouco de maconha e cheirem um pouco de cristalSmoke a little dope and snort some crystal
