Текст песни: The Lousy Dance + перевод

The raven is tangled in branches of fire

Your hero was strangled on the perch of desire

And we must now choose to either act or retire

Or leave it up to chance

Dancing the lousy dance

The leaves of twilight now lay with the roots

The naked heart exploded along with the fruit

Too ripe, too heavy, let go and cut loose

To spill into the sand

Dancing the lousy dance

Dancing the lousy dance

Always dancing the lousy dance

One body drops off where another begins

When you’re dancing the lousy dance

Your body is burned like so many others

Where memory has learned to empty its mirrors

And I try to sit still while everything hovers

Or rains into my hands

Dancing the lousy dance

Dancing the lousy dance

Always dancing the lousy dance

You pirouette and I’ll sit here and spin

We’re dancing the lousy dance
