Rudy lives on the borderline Rudy |
| [00:08.47] |
Between civilization and basic survival |
| [00:12.23] |
And the summertime treats him fairly well |
| [00:15.99] |
But the wintertime is a dirty cold rival. |
| [00:20.40] |
It's wintertime now in Georgetown, |
| [00:24.41] |
The streets come alive with the Christmas light |
| [00:28.08] |
And Rudy sleeps on a warm air grate, Rudy |
| [00:31.87] |
With a newspaper blanket on December nights. |
| [00:38.53] |
Deck the halls, |
| [00:41.19] |
Rudolph the red-nosed wino |
| [00:44.06] |
Knows it's Christmas time. |
| [00:47.37] |
Jingle Bells and Christmas shoppers. |
| [00:50.19] |
Dashing through the snow. |
| [00:53.59] |
God rest ye merry gentlemen |
| [00:57.05] |
Who've found it in your hearts |
| [00:59.85] |
To flip Rudy a thin |
| [01:02.67] |
And I'll be home for Christmas, |
| [01:05.99] |
But this man has no place to go. |
| [01:11.05] |
Christmas has a meaning at all, |
| [01:14.81] |
The people of greed and incredible waste, |
| [01:18.36] |
They seek the deeper meaning |
| [01:20.83] |
In the shopping mall,In a yuletide spirit |
| [01:24.95] |
Of impatience and hate. |
| [01:27.75] |
Rudy is a patient man, Rudy |
| [01:30.86] |
Who tries to see the beauty in everything. |
| [01:34.37] |
Yes, and not a very demanding soul, |
| [01:39.09] |
Whose only wish is to live until the Spring. |
| [01:46.10] |
Nobody knows the reasons why |
| [01:49.72] |
Things turn out like the way they do. |
| [01:53.39] |
And there ain't no one to tell you the reasons why |
| [01:56.96] |
There's fortunate folks like me and you. |
| [02:01.38] |
Rudy must have people somewhere, |
| [02:05.39] |
Who wonder what became of the man. |
| [02:08.91] |
And Rudy must wonder the same damn thing |
| [02:12.52] |
As the crowd passes by and he sticks out his hand. |
| [02:21.10] |
Deck the halls, |
| [02:24.21] |
Rudolph the red-nosed wino |
| [02:27.08] |
Knows it's Christmas time. |
| [02:29.55] |
Jingle Bells and Christmas shoppers. |
| [02:32.56] |
Dashing through the snow. |
| [02:35.97] |
God rest ye merry gentlemen |
| [02:39.24] |
Who've found it in your hearts |
| [02:42.51] |
To flip Rudy a thin |
| [02:45.87] |
And I'll be home for Christmas, |
| [02:48.37] |
But this man has no place to go. |
| [02:53.46] |
Rudy died on the borderline, Rudy |
| [02:56.61] |
Of a civilized world on Christmas Eve. |
| [02:59.78] |
You know the shoppers shopped, |
| [03:03.33] |
And the temperatures dropped, |
| [03:05.80] |
On a man whose absence won't be grieved. |
| [03:09.22] |
Peace on the soul of the cop |
| [03:12.18] |
Who found him dead in a booth Rudy |
| [03:15.24] |
With his hand frozen to a telephone. |
| [03:18.10] |
You know, I think I know |
| [03:20.50] |
Who he had on the line, |
| [03:22.93] |
And Rudy won't spend this Christmas alone. Rudy |
| [03:28.01] |
Deck the halls, |
| [03:30.40] |
Rudolph the red-nosed wino |
| [03:32.83] |
Knows it's Christmas time. |
| [03:35.69] |
Jingle Bells and Christmas shoppers. |
| [03:39.03] |
Dashing through the snow. |
| [03:42.99] |
God rest ye merry gentlemen |
| [03:46.22] |
Who've found it in your hearts |
| [03:48.93] |
To flip Rudy a thin |
| [03:51.49] |
And I'll be home for Christmas, |
| [03:54.29] |
And this year, Rudy gets to go. |
| [03:58.16] |
Yeah, I'll be home for Christmas. |
| [04:01.63] |
And this year, Rudy gets to go. |
