Текст песни: Narrow Bed + перевод

Centuries of sin

Have done this planet in;

Have left us all

Shaken and afraid.

Too late to begin

To turn to the truth again;

We must sleep in

The narrow bed

We’ve made.

Pharisees and pharaohs,

And famine’s evil arrows

All have fallen

And decayed.

But I fear I see tomorrow

In the fall of the sparrow.

We must sleep in

The narrow bed

We’ve made.

The letter of the law

Was all you ever saw;

You never saw

The sentence

To be paid.

When you go to bed tonight,

Don’t expect the morning light.

You must sleep in

The narrow bed

You’ve made.

Caught down near the water,

With Pharaoh’s daughter,

On a cool, crisp, Cairo day.

He spoke as any father,

Saying, «You broke her;

Now you bought her.

Now take these two away;

They must sleep in

The narrow bed

They’ve made.»

You’ve never felt the hunger,

Even when you were much younger;

Your billions were all that you displayed.

Now, you’ll find your feasting

All is hollow,

And you’ll find this

Hard to swallow:

You must sleep in

The narrow bed

You’ve made.

Centuries of sin

Have done this planet in,

Have left us all

Shaken and afraid.

Too late to begin

To turn to the truth again;

We must sleep in

The narrow bed

We’ve made.
