Текст песни: The Bear + перевод

The bear moved into the city

When all of the work dried up

Put it all in his pickup truck

And drove down the mountain

And he scoured the classified ads

For a window with a view of the trees

Signed his name, got a set of keys

And the empty light of a room

And he said

«Wonder if this is what heaven is like

What if it means I’m more dead than alive

What would I be if I turned out the light

Before night fell.»

The bear walked wild for groceries

And everyone stared at the ground

Moving to the beat of the sound

Of the voices of the engines

And the sidewalk wore at his feet

And it hurt just a little more

To open and close the door

Of the bodega on the corner

And he said

«Wonder if this is what heaven is like

What if it means I’m more dead than alive

What would I be if I turned out the light

Before night fell.»

In the old days

We would up and run

In the old days

We were so young

The bear laid down on a park bench

Stared straight up at the sky

Waiting on the first starlight

In the space between the buildings

And he stayed awake all night

With the cars and the people

And his fingers formed a steeple

Pointed at the sky

And he said

«Wonder if this is what heaven is like

What if it means I’m more dead than alive

What would I be if I turned out the light

Before night fell.»
