Текст песни: The Overpass + перевод

We’re stranded at the lights

With extraordinary distance

Covered in a blanket

Of northern snow

I am your protection

The last line of defense

I’ll try to keep my promises

To all of our friends

I don’t have a coat

And we don’t have a car

But honey if you’re patient

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines like

Neon violence in my blood

So red and white, and out of our control

You swore it on your life

You wouldn’t get so tired

But I can hear you lying

Over the phone

This as such is failure

Wholly on my part

To rectify our balance with

The credit on the cards

But I don’t have the nerve

But if you have the heart

Honey if you’re patient

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines like

Neon violence in my blood

So red and white, and out of our control

Do they drown their young in Hudson waters?

Bring their children with disorders

Into the night and the dark northern cold

You see it in their faces

Strong against the white

Fighting with the angels

For glory and pride

And we are not peculiar

But am I not at fault?

This is the arrangement

And what I’ve been sold

I don’t have a coat

And we don’t have a car

But honey if you’re patient

The city isn’t far

Oh the overpass in Harlem shines

Like neon violence in my blood

So red and white, and out of our control

Do they drown their young in Hudson waters?

Bring their children with disorders

Into the night and the dark northern cold

And it shakes and rattles through the ward

A lightning bolt across the door

Fluorescent like the visions in my sleep

So much braver than our present life

A golden factory of light

And you’ll live long enough to catch its beams
