Текст песни: New Moon + перевод

The parking lot was nearly empty

Her car looked like a little childs toy way off in the far corner

As she trudged along she lkept her eyes on the big orange sun

That was sinking toward a dark line of trees in the distance

She wondered how much lower and fatter it would be by the time she was on the

road

About halfway there, she dropped her keys on the pavement next to a faded

yellow stripe

She bent down to retrieve them and then suddenly froze arm outstretched,

hand open

As an overpowering sense of deja vu washed through her

The setting sun, the purple sky, the early evening smell of baked asphalt

All of it had sometime, somewhere been exactly as it was this very moment

Then it was gone, she grabbed her keys and continued on her way

The car was hard to start as usual

It would like a little coaxing to make it turn over

Her gearhead brother-in-law had been working on it for her

And he wasn’t won to sacrifice torque or horsepower for easy starts or other

such petty concerns

But that was okay, because she liked to go fast

For her, the dashed lines on the freeway were like grains of sand slipping

through an hour glass

Ticking away the seconds, the minutes, and the hours of her life

If she got home a few minutes early on any given afternoon it gave her a thrill

As if she had stolen a little something back from death

The motor came to life just as the tree line took its first nip at the sun

And without missing a beat she threw the car into hear and headed for the

highway

The road stretched out in a thin black ribbon as straight and as far ahead as

the eye could see

There was no traffic, so she pressed a little harder on the accelerator and

began to pick up speed

It was that peculiar bit of twilight when the first faint stars become visible

Last night she had come this way and there had also been a slider of a crescent

moon

But right now it was nowhere to be seen

She didn’t care though, she just wanted to go faster

She leaned into the steering wheel and mashed the gas pedal into the floor

The stripes on the highway began to unreel beneath her in a dizzying blur

As if all those grains of sand had lost their bearings and were falling all

over each other

Just trying to get out of the way to make room for the next moment, or instant,

or tick of the clock

And at that moment she saw the first glimmer of reflective paint,

yellow and black

Wafting through the late summer heat riusing off the roadway

And in the next instant she saw the barricade

A low, thick concrete wall behind the warning sign

And she tightened her grip on the steering wheel, pressed harder on the gas

pedal

And fixed her stare straight ahead

And then everything went absolutely silent

And instead of a crash or a screech of tires or a scream

There was just one very loud tick of the clock

And then a crzy symphony of grinding bone and metal

Bent steering wheel wrists snapping like toothpicks

Broken legs flailing at weird angles as she smashed through the windshield in

an explosive shower of glass and blood

And then she was flying, falling, floating, sailing through the air

An impossible arc across the night sky

Until her momentum would carry her no further

And then she reached out wrapped her arms around the new moon

And disappeared beyond the horizon

While a thousand startled crows erupted and fled in every direction

From the cornfield that spread out below
