Текст песни: Z-E-P-H-Y-R + перевод

THERE’S A CERTAIN CONCENTRATION OF FREEDOM BETWEEN STATIONS

OR WHAT I CONSIDER FREEDOM IN THESE FENCED-IN GLASS WALLS

WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE MOVIES WHEN WE WERE IN OUR PRE-TEENS

TURNED OUT TO BE JUST THE ECHO OF AN IMPRINT OF A CALL

AND I MEANT TO READ TWO NOVELS ON MY WAY OUT TO THE WEST

BUT I ONLY READ THE ESSAYS WITH THE NOTE ON THE FIRST PAGE

AND ALL I WANTED TO WRITE ABOUT QUICKLY LEFT THE SCENE

AFTER FINDING A HOLE BIG ENOUGH IN THE AIR CONDITIONING

OH…

BE MY HOME

I FORGET

WHEN I’M ON THE ROAD

AND I WOKE UP EVERY MORNING NOT KNOWING WHERE I WAS

AND IF THE WHITE OUTSIDE WAS SNOW OR SALT OR PAINTED ON THE GLASS

I FEED OFF SIMPLE STORIES AND YOUR MEMORIES ABOUT WARS

AND I WAS STARING AT THE SCENERY NOT REMEMBERING WHAT CITIES ARE FOR

WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE TRAIN AT MIDNIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL

I FELT THE COLD IN MY FEET AND THE SMOKE IN MY LUNGS

AND I RAN UP AND DOWN THE PLATFORM MEASURING THE TRAIN

LIKE A WEIRDLY LINED-UP VILLAGE DOOMED TO BE ALWAYS TRAVELLING

BE MY HOME

I FORGET MY ONE TRUE LOVE

WHEN I’M ON THE ROAD

CUT THE DARKNESS WITH A PLASTIC FORK, IT WILL SWALLOW US WHOLE

THERE ARE NO CARS IN THE DISTANCE AND NO VOICES ON THE PHONE

EVERYBODY’S CONQUERED THE PRAIRIE JUST LIKE MA & PA

AND I’VE HAD ONE TOO MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AMERICA

I REMEMBER THE NOTHING SHRINKING DOWN IN SIZE

AND SEEING NOT MORE THAN IF I HADN’T OPENED MY EYES

AND HAVING DREAMS ABOUT TIDAL WAVES AND ALL OF US IN TINY BOATS

I REMEMBER SITTING IN A HOTEL ROOM THINKING MY HEAD WAS ABOUT TO EXPLODE

BE MY HOME

I FORGET MY ONE TRUE LOVE

WHEN I’M ON THE ROAD
