Текст песни: Malungungu + перевод

Running on empty

My wheel hand knuckle white

Before the day finds an ending

I’m going out to the other side

Red lights ringing out

The chain hands linking up

Is that a voice on the steel tracks?

It’s like a scream and a whisper

Better run, better hide, better leave it behind

Better calm, better sleep, better keep me alive

Better hold to myself, better go to the light

There’s a hole in the dark and it calls me tonight

Yes, iron on the iron tracks

Carrying iron on its iron back

And when the snake eats its own tail

Then dark comes through the cracks

And in the howl of the whisper

I hear the flying foam massacre

And still the mines cutting deeper

Out of time and now the signal’s out

Better run, better hide, better leave it behind

Better calm, better sleep, better keep me alive

Better hold to myself, better go to the light

There’s a hole in the dark and it calls me tonight

Am I a Malungungu? Am I a Malungungu?

Am I a Malungungu? Ooh Ooh Ooh Oooh

Am I a Malungungu? Am I a Malungungu?

Am I a Malungungu? Ooh Ooh Ooh Oooh

Mother, mother I don’t want to be alone

Out here tonight. Father

Father I have followed you far as here

Before the night’s done

I’ll be out on the other side

On the news there’s a sacrifice

Another FIFO suicide

I see my eyes in the rear view mirror

And I don’t know if it’s me, you

Or some other «I,» but they look and cry

Where’s my life gone, where’s my life gone

Where’s my life gone, where’s my life gone

Where’s my life gone, gone?

Better run, better hide, better leave it behind

Better calm, better sleep, better keep me alive

Better hold to myself, better go to the light

There’s a hole in the dark and it

Calls me tonight…
