Текст песни: The Snake and the Crown + перевод

Today I got to thinking the world’s in a strange way

Feels like I’m in a 711 when a robbery takes place

Do I hide behind the counter with my hands covering my face

Or do I dive for the gunman before he makes his break?

There’s a 45 go off

Do the bullets ricochet?

This is not some random nightmare

See for me, well this is every day

I’ve been waiting for this train to come 'round

I’ve been waiting for the deal to go down

I’ve been looking for the things not found

They’re so far, so far away

I’m just doing my best today

Oh, there’s cigarettes and alcohol and a few minutes to pray

But it don’t do what it used to, so we’ll have hell to pay

A penny for your thoughts, a penny for my clichés

Oh, I try to get some distance, I try to escape

But this nightmare’s so persistent in a Shakespeare kind of way

Be not afraid. Oh, fuck that, be very afraid

I’ve been waiting for this train to come 'round

I’ve been waiting for the deal to go down

I’ve been looking for the things not found

They’re so far, so far away

But I’m just doing my best today

Who sold you out? We did, we did

Who let you down? We did, we did

Who put on this crown? We did, we did
