Ricky's been kicking the gong, lickity-split, didn't take too long.
Ricky sudah menendang gong, lickity-split, tidak butuh waktu lama.
A junkie's sick, a monkey's strong, that's wha's wrong.
Pecandu sakit, monyet kuat, itu yang salah.
Well, I guess he's been messing around downtown, so sad to see the man losing ground.
Yah, kurasa dia bermain-main di pusat kota, sangat sedih melihat pria itu kalah.
Winding down behind closed doors on all fours.
Berkelok-kelok di balik pintu tertutup dengan posisi merangkak.
Mama, don't you call him my name, he can't hear you anymore.
Mama, jangan panggil dia namaku, dia tidak bisa mendengarmu lagi.
Even if he seems the same to you, that's a stranger to your door.
Bahkan jika dia tampak sama bagi Anda, itu adalah orang asing di depan pintu Anda.
Go on, ask him what's he come here for.
Ayo, tanyakan padanya untuk apa dia datang ke sini.
Oh my God, a monkey can move a man. Send him to hell and home again.
Ya Tuhan, monyet bisa menggerakkan manusia. Kirim dia ke neraka dan pulang lagi.
An empty hand in the afternoon, shooting for the moon.
Tangan kosong di sore hari, menembak bulan.
It's halfway sick and it's halfway stoned. He'd sure like to kick but he's too far gone.
Sudah setengah sakit dan setengah mabuk. Dia pasti ingin menendang tapi dia terlalu jauh
They wind him down with the methadone, he's all on his own.
Mereka menurunkannya dengan metadon, dia sendirian.
But baby, don't you throw your love away, I hate to seem unkind.
Tapi sayang, jangan buang cintamu, aku benci terlihat tidak baik.
It's only that I understand the man that the monkey can leave behind,
Hanya saja saya mengerti pria yang bisa ditinggalkan monyet,
I used to think he was a friend of mine.
Dulu aku mengira dia adalah temanku.
Oh, La la la la la la la la, oh, la la la la la la la la. La la la, la la la, la la la la.
