Текст песни: Swimming to Cambodia + перевод

The flicker of the tv and a long forgotten memory

Are the only things you’ll ever leave behind

The dust that’s on the floor, there’s noone at your door

Now tell me, do you really think you’re free?

The war is done, my friend, you fought until the end

You threw your white flag down

Morning, noon and night, you always seemed to lose the fight

Spalding, where the hell are you?

You say that the grasses are greener and everything’s cleaner on their shores

Today is the day where you’re going to swim to cambodia

You once were lit ablaze with the fire of your younger days

You blinded everyone you met

You never were the same, since dublin’s night consumed your flame

And stole the matches from your pocket

The hudson’s freezing, but your braincells keep on squeezing 'round the

Thought that you must swim away today

From the staten island ferry on the coldest night in january

It’s cambodia or bust

You once had feared the man who held you in his hand

And controlled you when you sleep

But now the end’s your friend, you’re reaching to extend

Your white flag to the sky you once had cursed

The sun is sinking and your frozen eyes are blinking

At the cold atlantic nothingness ahead

You take a deep sigh as you wave a passing goodbye

And you set your course and swim away

You say that the grasses are greener and everything’s cleaner on their shores

Today is the day where you’re going to swim to cambodia
