Origineel
[Verse 1: Andrew Wyatt]
Start up the engine, we’re heavy and rolling
Tankful of gas and the night is young
Don’t know you
Don’t care where you’re going
To the Highline or the heart of the sun
My sweet companion is long as the summer
Black as the river and built to glide
Smooth as glass
Smooth as Marcus Miller
Cold as ice when you climb inside
[Chorus: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city’s flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin’ straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
[Verse 2: Andrew Wyatt]
You deal in ducats, you deal in illusion
Pay for pleasure with your pretty face
You confuse
War and prostitution
In my starship I sail freely through space
[Chorus: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city’s flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin’ straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
[Verse 3: Andrew Wyatt]
I was lost and lonely like you
Hollow-eyed and broken inside
Then I found something lasting and true
A beautiful ride
Might have to wait to start in on your drinking
All of Hell’s Kitchen’s standing in that line
I’ll be here
Living in my Lincoln
Occupying space and conquering time
[Chorus: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city’s flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin’ straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
Vertaling
[Verse 1: Andrew Wyatt]
Start de motor, we zijn zwaar en rijden
Tank vol benzine en de nacht is jong
Don’t know you
Don’t care where you’re going
To the Highline or the heart of the sun
Mijn lieve metgezel is zo lang als de zomer
Zwart als de rivier en gebouwd om te glijden
Glad als glas
Glad als Marcus Miller
Cold as ice when you climb inside
[Refrein: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city’s flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin’ straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
[Verse 2: Andrew Wyatt]
You deal in ducats, you deal in illusion
Betaal voor plezier met je mooie gezicht
Je verwart
Oorlog en prostitutie
In mijn sterrenschip zeil ik vrij door de ruimte
[Refrein: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city’s flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin’ straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
[Verse 3: Andrew Wyatt]
I was lost and lonely like you
Hollow-eyed and broken inside
Toen vond ik iets blijvends en waars
A beautiful ride
Might to have to wait to start in on your drinking
Heel Hell’s Kitchen staat in de rij.
Ik zal hier zijn.
Levend in mijn Lincoln
Bezet ruimte en verover tijd
[Refrein: Andrew Wyatt]
When the city’s flowing
I found a way to move my weary soul
Ridin’ straight and low
Stay heavy and rolling
