Текст песни: Common Magic + перевод

Don’t be scared, don’t be afraid,

Don’t make a sound and it will abate.

Don’t be lonely, don’t be sad,

Whatever you do — don’t get mad

Cause they’ve got guns and gears and God and gadgets

Underneath their robes.

Don’t pay attention — don’t hear a word,

Don’t open your door or you will get hurt.

I’ll be there tomorrow baby, I swear to God this time I won’t be late,

We’ll spend the night alone with the curtain closed and a padlock on the gate.

Broken hearts, broken trust,

Smoking barrels carried home on the bus.

Breaking up and breaking down,

Breaking apart every time I look around,

Equations, information, complications every step of the way.

Break it off oh break away!

Give up your SOULS for the modern age!

We’ll go there tomorrow baby, to pawn your golden teeth for cigarettes.

It’s just mathematics, ain’t it tragic? Dying like all of the rest!

And it’s not easy lately, to bring myself to brush my teeth at night,

Cause all I wanted was a girl some passion,

And somewhere to shut my eyes.

What’s the time? What’s the difference?

What’s the answer? What’s the cure?

What’s so funny? What’s that sound, yeah

And what does he say, when I’m not around?

Suspicion, competition, these new traditions keep me up all night.

How do I look, do I look all right?

And what’s the name of the girl on the right?

I’ll be there tomorrow baby, chasing down my wine with fresh laments,

It’s such a common magic the forgotten tragic unique, like all of the rest!

And it’s not easy lately, to bring myself to brush my teeth at night,

Cause all I wanted was a girl some passion,

And somewhere to shut my eyes.
