The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest

Well, Frankie Lee and Judas PriestThey were the best of friendsSo when Frankie Lee needed money one dayJudas quickly pulled out a roll of tensAnd placed them on a footstoolJust above the plotted plainSayin’, “Take your pick, Frankie BoyMy loss will be your gain”

Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right downAnd put his fingers to his chinBut with the cold eyes of Judas on himHis head began to spin“Would ya please not stare at me like that,” he said“It’s just my foolish prideBut sometimes a man must be aloneAnd this is no place to hide”

Well, Judas, he just winked and said“All right, I’ll leave you hereBut you’d better hurry up and choose which of those bills you wantBefore they all disappear”“I’m gonna start my pickin’ right nowJust tell me where you’ll be”Judas pointed down the roadAnd said, “Eternity!”

“Eternity?” said Frankie LeeWith a voice as cold as ice“That’s right,” said Judas Priest, “EternityThough you might call it ‘Paradise’”“I don’t call it anything”Said Frankie Lee with a smile“All right,” said Judas Priest“I’ll see you after a while”

Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back downFeelin’ low and meanWhen just then a passing strangerBurst upon the sceneSaying, “Are you Frankie Lee, the gamblerWhose father is deceased?Well, if you are, there’s a fellow callin’ you down the roadAnd they say his name is Priest”

“Oh, yes, he is my friend”Said Frankie Lee in fright“I do recall him very wellIn fact, he just left my sight”“Yes, that’s the one,” said the strangerAs quiet as a mouse“Well, my message is, he’s down the roadStranded in a house”

Well, Frankie Lee, he panickedHe dropped ev’rything and ranUntil he came up to the spotWhere Judas Priest did stand“What kind of house is this,” he said“Where I have come to roam?”“It’s not a house,” said Judas Priest“It’s not a house . . . it’s a home”

Well, Frankie Lee, he trembledHe soon lost all controlOver ev’rything which he had madeWhile the mission bells did tollHe just stood there staringAt that big house as bright as any sunWith four and twenty windowsAnd a woman’s face in ev’ry one

Well, up the stairs ran Frankie LeeWith a soulful, bounding leapAnd, foaming at the mouthHe began to make his midnight creepFor sixteen nights and days he ravedBut on the seventeenth he burstInto the arms of Judas PriestWhich is where he died of thirst

No one tried to say a thingWhen they took him out in jestExcept, of course, the little neighbor boyWho carried him to restAnd he just walked along, aloneWith his guilt so well concealedAnd muttered underneath his breath“Nothing is revealed”

Well, the moral of the storyThe moral of this songIs simply that one should never beWhere one does not belongSo when you see your neighbor carryin’ somethin’Help him with his loadAnd don’t go mistaking ParadiseFor that home across the road

Balada Frankie Lea i Judas Priesta

Pa, Frankie Lee i Judas PriestBili su najbolji prijateljiStoga kada je Frankie Lee zatrebao pare jednog danaJudas je brzo izvukao rolu desetkiI stavio je na niski stolićBaš iznad nacrtanog avionaGovoreći "Odaberi, mali FrankieMoj gubitak će biti tvoj dobitak"

Pa, Frankie Lee je odmah sjeoI stavio prst na braduAli s hladnim pogledom JudasaPočelo mu se vrtjeti u glavi"Bi li molim te prestao tako buljiti u mene", rekao je"To je samo moj budalasti ponosAli ponekad muškarac mora biti samA ovo nije mjesto za skrivanje"

Pa Judas je samo namignuo i rekao"Dobro, ostaviti ću te ovdjeAli bolje ti je da požuriš i što prije odabereš koje novčaniceželišPrije nego što sve nestanu""Početi ću s odabirom sadaSamo mi reci gdje ćeš biti"Judas je prstom pokazao niz ulicuI rekao "U Vječnosti!"

"Vječnost?" kaže Frankie LeeS glasom hladnim kao led"Tako je", kaže Judas Priest, "Vječnost,iako to možeš zvati i Raj""Neću ja to zvati nikako"Kaže Frankie Lee s osmjehom"U redu" kaže Judas Priest"Vidimo se uskoro"

Pa, Frankie Lee je opet sjeoOsjećajući se nisko i zlobnoKad je najednom stranac koji prolaziNaletio u zbivanjeGovoreći "Jesi li ti Frankie Lee, kockarČiji je otac preminuo?Pa, ako jesi, tamo te neki lik zove dolje niz ulicuI kažu da se on zove Priest (Svećenik)"

"Oh da, on je moj prijatelj"Uplašeno kaže Frankie Lee"Sjećam ga se vrlo dobroZapravo, baš mi je nestao iz vida""Da, to je taj" kaže stranacTiho kao miš"Pa, moja poruka je da je on dolje niz ulicuSituiran u kući"

Pa, Frankie Lee se uspaničioSve je bacio i potrčaoDok nije došao do mjestaGdje je Judas Priest stajao"Kakva je ovo kuća?" pitao je"Gdje sam to zalutao?""To nije kuća" rekao je Judas Priest"To nije kuća...to je dom"

Pa, Frankie Lee je drhtaoUskoro je izgubio svu kontroluNad svim što je stekaoDok su crkvena zvona naplaćivalaSamo je tamo stajao i buljioU veliku kuću žarku kao bilo koje sunceS 24 prozoraI licem žene u svakoga

Pa, Frankie Lee je potrčao niz stepeniceSa duhovnim, graničnim skokomI s pjenom u ustimaPočeo je svoje ponoćno puzanje16 noći i dana je on bjesnioAli 17-og je paoU ruke Judas PriestaGdje je umro od žeđi

Nitko nije zucnuo ni riječKada su ga s podsmjehom izveli vaniOsim, naravno, malog susjednog dječakaKoji ga je odveo da se odmoriI samo je hodao, samSa dobro prikrivenom krivnjomI promrmljao si u bradu“Ništa nije otkriveno”

Pa, pouka ove priče jePouka ove pjesme jeDa netko jednostavno ne bi trebao bitiTamo gdje ne pripadaPa kad vidiš svog susjeda kako nešto nosiPomozi mu s teretomI ne miješaj RajS onom kućom preko puta
