Текст песни: I Pity Inanimate Objects + перевод

I pity inanimate objects

Because they cannot move

From specks of dust to paperweights

Or a pound note sealed in resin

Plastic Santas in perpetual underwater snowstorms

Sculptures that appear to be moving but aren’t

I feel sorry for them all

What are they thinking when they arrive at a place?

Do they sigh with disappointment?

And when they leave, do they have regrets?

Is a sofa as happy in one corner as it is in another?

And how does the room feel about it?

I pity inanimate objects

I pity inanimate objects

I pity inanimate objects

I pity them all

Physics isn’t fair

Is a tree as a rocking horse an ambition fulfilled?

And is the sawdust jealous?

I worry about these things

Peppercorns don’t move

Until they contaminate the ice-cream

Three weeks later

Is the gold in Fort Knox happy gold?

I care about these things

Some things are better left alone

Grains of sand prefer their own company

But magnets are two-faced

No choice for sugar

But what choice could there be

But to drown in coffee or to drown in tea?

The frustrations of being inanimate

Maybe it’s better that way

The fewer the moving parts

The less there is to go wrong

I wonder about these things

I pity inanimate objects

I pity inanimate objects

I pity inanimate objects

I pity them all
