Signora, lei parla così.
Mi dispiace, è quasi così con questa donna.
Che sparo? È così.
Natalia, Natalia, aspetta.
Sono sconvolgiato, che desiderasse fare con queste scarabarci, con queste stronzetti?
Queste stronzetti, queste scarabarci, i miei amici, mi dispiace, ma non vado a loro
Al letto alle otto, come lo preferisci tu? Non bevo solo l'acqua nel bambino
In France, la stessa cosa? Certo. Isabel, attends, je suis désolé.

They're born into the darkness
Oh, now is that you need to?
Dear, I know we're not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore, and you can consort with whoever you'd like to, and there's really nothing I can do about it, but I'm concerned about these friends of yours. I know they sell drugs, and I know that they're not very nice.
You!
Are a controlling bastard! I'll do what the fuck I want! I have issues that you don't understand! If I want to take drugs, I will! And I'll give my body to whoever I want to! And there's nothing you can say about it!
Never go into the darkness
I can't, I got to go to bed, I got to go to bed.

They will only hurt you. Let me save you.

Brother, take them sheets to the old laundromat
But you won't listen to me, you insist on talking to him
In America it would be something like this in the United States
Oh, uh, Gloria, I've been meaning to tell you I'm distressed
I know you're not living with me anymore, you've moved out and you can do anything you wish,
but I'm concerned about you and your boyfriend, uh
I've heard that he sells drugs and I don't think he's a very good man
and I think he only means you harm
Or the American woman would say, "You asshole! I always hated you because you're a controlling bastard!
I'll do anything I want now! Get away from me! Get away!
If I want to take drugs, I'll take them!
If I want to give my body to my stupid boyfriend, I will! I like you! I hate you!
You're an idiot! You're boring! You controlling bastard !"
So that's a big word in the United States now. "Controlling." They use that a lot.
Okay, but how would Pierre do it in Paris, France?
Isabelle, Isabelle, attends, oh attends Isabelle, je suis désolé
Tes amis sont vraiment des avages, ils vendent les drogues et tout cela
Ils sont vraiment des méchants, je me préocoupe avec toi
Ne te préocoupe pas avec moi, bon bon, je peux faire ça que je voudrais faire
Tiens, le drogue, tiens
Le Titi tient l'alcool et tout cela
Ah, qu'est-ce que ça peut te foutre de toi, Bobo?
How's Luigi doing in France? Not so good
Natalia, oh Natalia, aspetta, aspetta, sono sconfugiato
Che desideraste fare con questi stronzetti, con questi scarafaggi?
Ah, stronzetti, scarafaggi
Mi dispiace, ma non vado a letto alle otto della notte con lo preferiscito
Non bevo solo acqua minerale
Guarda la droga! Guarda!
Y Jägermeister! Il oso i m'a fare niente de niente! Ahaha!
That's okay, but how's crime doing in Tel Aviv?
Just let her go into the darkness, let her let go of the pain, let her go into the darkness, oh let her go

Let her go if she wants to go
Oh let her go, let her go, let her go
But Jonathan, I can talk sense to her
No you can't, yes I can
Yeah, I know we're not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore
You're free to do anything you want
But we, even though we don't live in the same house
I still care about you
I'm concerned
Those old boyfriends of yours
They sell drugs and they're not very nice
And they'll get you in trouble
Thanks, ass-butt
Just what I need
You're a king on my life
I'm sick of you
You controlling bastard
That's why I hate you
I hate you
You controlling bastard
But I told them I was gonna get married, but they didn't hear me. No one hears me singing.
Now that's how we American guys can subjectively see.
That was really clunky and awkward and nothing to be proud of at all.
How about the Frenchies? They're in the news once in a while, aren't they?
How would they handle such a situation?
Let's see how Jean-Luc does in Paris.
Isabelle, oh Isabelle, attend Isabelle, je suis tes amis
Et tes amis ils sont vraiment des affaires, je sais vraiment
Et mes chiens ils vendent de l'or et tout cela
Je me préoccupe avec toi
Mais d'un coup avec moi, bon bon
Je peux faire ça, mais je peux pas le faire
J'diens le droit, j'diens le sincère
Tout cela, qu'est-ce que ça peut me donner?
I don't know what you thought that you said that
But that was even worse
You were having me right
I might have talked all John's up
But it wasn't me
Okay, that'd be Luigi in Torino, how'd he go?
Probably about 7 o'clock in the morning in Torino, some cafe, despises his old girlfriend, she's a little late, a tram, you know all that, a couple of streetcars over there, she's going to work, let's see what happens.
Cattaria, cattaria, attenta, cattaria
Sono scompo già
Che desiderarsi fare con questi stronzetti
Con questi scampati
Oh, that's Javier in the crib, Javier, Javier
Rodilla, rodilla, vale, su vida es la tuya
Y yo no puedo buscar la que
Claro que no puedes buscar nada, papi
Soy mujer y me invitan
Que voy a hacer lo que me da la gana
Mira la grota, mira el niña maestera
Let it roll through the darkness
Let it burn from all the grief
Nothing that avoids you through the darkness or the time
I'm going to go back to sleep. I'm going to sleep.
Let her walk into the darkness...
[Hold on a minute, I don't like how ???
It was so perfect how you do those things ???
Let's act like we've never played together
1 2 3 4
We've been doing this a little too much
Sometimes it's hard to know what the other guy's doing

But not quite yet
Tomorrow, tomorrow
That's what we say
Tomorrow we say
Let us go suffer more into the dark
Let us vomit more
Let's feel the pain of the ???
Just once more
Never again, well except now]
[[Makes a joke off mic]]
[See what happened was
When I hung around enough
As a teenager
I hung around my favourite group were the biggest druggies you ever saw
I asked them "do I need this drug stuff?"
They said "Jonathan, you don't need it"
I said "thank God, cause I hate needles"
I hate stuff like that
???
I would like run the other way
It's a big sigh of relief at seventeen years old
Cause I didn't want to do stuff like that
I moved to New York
And one of the guys who was part of that scene
Said "Jonathan, you got to try pot"
I said "but I hate it"
"You've never tried it"
"I know but I've heard the music people make on it"
"I don't want to play like that"
"You've got to at least try it"
I'm 18 years old and in his apartment in New York city
I take one drag
Which isn't supposed to be enough to get you stoned
Maybe I was just kidding myself but I was hungry
That's supposed to be one of those signs
But it made me want to fight
I took it again about a year later
At our house
Like a friend was staying over
And again it made me want to fight
Pick fights with people so I could be important
If this does this I better never in my life get drunk
So I never did
???
I think I better never get drunk
Just cause of trying pot which I didn't like
It made me mad
It made me think "Oh no"
I'm calm but it's this fake calm
I want to be
I'd rather be real nervous than this fake calm
That's just me
That's all my chemicals or something
Some people like it I understand]
Let her go then
Let her learn if she wants to suffer
Let her go into the darkness
Let her go
Let her go
Well she's back with her old boyfriend
He don't challenge her He don't contend with her
And she won't answer the cards you send
You're jealous of the time he spends with her
[Don't be so jealous]
If she wants to go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
Let her go into the darkness
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let us all go into the darkness
Rather than just wish
For the comfortable position
In our pastel hues
Of fake spiritual stuff
Wishing we were doing dark stuff
No but wishing wee were doing dark
I think it's better to do dark stuff
For as it is written
Better a sincere denizen of the dark
Than a false mirror of the light
And eventually
You just learn
Hey I'm bored in the darkness
I'm tired of porno movies and cocaine and shit
The darkness is so one dimensional
Let her go if she wants to try
The alley behind the bar
One more time
If she wants to try
The anonymous hotel room
One more time
We played in the dark
We've played in the dark
Now we want to come home
Home
We want to come home
No we're not ready quite yet
Let us go then one more dip into the darkness
I don't think we're quite ready
I'm not sure quite ready
Maybe we need one more dip into the darkness
Maybe
[If we have to go into the darkness, we might have to
But it's better to be an honest denizen of the dark
Than a false bearer of the light
So we need not judge our neighbor if they decide to go to the dark side
A little, we might want to go there too sometime
Of course that's Tommy Larkins on the drum]
Well, she's back with her old boyfriend
She's not challenged by him, you see
He don't contend with her
And now she don't answer the cards you send
And you've been jealous of the time the other gentleman gets to spend with her
Just let her go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there

Let her go, let her go, let her go
You want to tell her that her boyfriend's no friend
You want to tell her that she don't know where he's really at
She won't listen, she's just not listening
Better take them sheets to the old laundromat

[Folks, audience, it's no secret, me and Tommy have been playing together quite a while.
In fact, to be frank, we don't care who knows it, we're both approaching 50 years old.
Every year I get more and more excited about stuff.
Even, what will it be like when I'm 51?
And so, like, I don't know, but it'll be exciting
Because I get excited by French, Italian, Spanish
But, like, stuff like stonework, things like walking around Portland
I check out all the 1890s stonework and the way they did it then
I check the way they try and repair it and can't do it
I check all kinds of different stuff, the beautiful things
And I get excited about]
[Oh, look, do we know someone who we feel like that they're going the wrong way, like they're really screwed up this time?
Well, we may be right.
but That was the last time that lecturing ever helped, like zero!
And that was double if you were the boyfriend and she was the girlfriend.
So you're not concerned about your current behavior.
Go home! Get away from me!
No, no, but those people, uh, your old boyfriend was a drug dealer.
Oh, isn't that too bad? Go drink your health food drink then.
It just doesn't work that way. You put yourself or others in our immediate vicinity. It just doesn't work.
Before we watch the next film, none of us must let them go into the darkness
Even ourselves are sanctimonious selves
If suppose we are not sure we've had quite enough of the dark alley of smelly iniquity
We, right? What would this do?]
Well, she's back with her old boyfriend, thank you
he don't challenge her, he don't contend with her
And she don't answer the cards you send
And you're jealous of the time that he spent with her
Just let her go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
let her go into the darkness
Let her go, let her go, let her go,
You wanna tell her that her boyfriend's no friend
You wanna tell her she dont know where he's really at
She won't listen brother, she's just not listening
Better take them sheets to the laundromat
Let her go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
Let her go into darkness
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Of course she's taking drugs, it's a darkness, but her lips crack
Alcoholic too, yeah, I'm sorry I hurt her
But it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
Laundromat, laundromat, laundromat
and let her go into the darkness
Let her learn her own way,
you have no choice anyways
Let her go, let her go, let her go
But Jonathan, I'm preoccupied with her, I worry about her
Yeah, and?
Well, she'll get hurt out there, yeah?
And your point is what?
So you're gonna go and give her the big safety lecture?
No, don't put your shoes on, no, you're putting your shoes on
You're gonna take a walk
You're gonna head for her old neighborhood
You're gonna try and talk to her, aren't you?
She won't wanna talk
If you were gonna warn her that her old boyfriend was no good, don't do it!
Let her go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
Let her go into darkness
Let her go, let her go, let her go
