Take A Long Line (original)

He was selling postcards from a paper stand
a whiskey bottle in his withered hand
he put a finger on a photo from an old magazine
and saw himself in the shadow of his dream
They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
told him his feet stank and took him downtown
called him agitator, spy and thief
shut him up in solitary third degree
take a long line x3
reel him in
He tried to appeal to the king of might
he said «I'm just excercising my sacred right»
the king he said «You ain’t got no rights
you’re a madman, a traitor, get outta my sight»
take along line x3
reel him in
(guitar solo)
They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
told him his feet stank and took him downtown
called him agitator, spy and thief
shut him up in solitary third degree
They put him aboard a well wound whirlwind
pulled out his teeth and rold him to grin
he gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine
and said «I never existed, you’ve been wasting your time»
take a long line x3
reel him in
take a long line x3
reel him in
take a long line
take a long line
take a long long long long line
reel him in

(traducción)

Estaba vendiendo postales en un puesto de papel.
una botella de whisky en su mano marchita
puso un dedo en una foto de una revista vieja
y se vio a sí mismo en la sombra de su sueño
Lo encontraron con la cabeza dentro de una corona de hojalata
le dijo que le olían los pies y lo llevó al centro
lo llamó agitador, espía y ladrón
encerrarlo en tercer grado solitario
toma una cola larga x3
enrollarlo
Trató de apelar al rey de los poderosos
dijo «solo estoy ejerciendo mi sagrado derecho»
el rey le dijo «No tienes ningún derecho
eres un loco, un traidor, sal de mi vista»
tomar a lo largo de la línea x3
enrollarlo
(solo de guitarra)
Lo encontraron con la cabeza dentro de una corona de hojalata
le dijo que le olían los pies y lo llevó al centro
lo llamó agitador, espía y ladrón
encerrarlo en tercer grado solitario
Lo pusieron a bordo de un torbellino bien herido
le sacó los dientes y lo hizo rodar para que sonriera
les dirigió una sonrisa, sacó una botella de vino
y dijo "nunca existí, has estado perdiendo el tiempo"
toma una cola larga x3
enrollarlo
toma una cola larga x3
enrollarlo
hacer una fila larga
hacer una fila larga
toma una larga larga larga larga fila
enrollarlo
