Текст песни: St. Louis + перевод

Past the beaten, broken, abandoned houses

It’s sink or swim;

Taping up your knuckles

and climbing back into the ring.

For a workman’s wages

slugging it out in St. Louis;

Life is not your own

without the chances that you take

Lost in darkness, maps unfolded on midnight’s moonless night;

Laughing, I…

turned on the lights.

Eventually we’ll all lose every

single thing we love

And a heart that’s beating

is chained and cheated

by every single desire.

But we can beat death while we’re still alive

Sometimes

White german shepard, trailer park,

dirt yard and a chain-link fence.

My dad never learned to bend,

now he’s a broken scarecrow in tornado winds

with two-by-four shingles transformers scattered in gravel, evening rain

Life is not your own without every single mistake that you’ve made

And vision isn’t sight to see what’s inside;

We all keep a blind eye;

Searchlights turned outward

to an endless sea of change

Eventually we’ll all lose every

single thing we love

And a heart that’s beating

is chained and cheated

by every single desire.

But we can beat death while we’re still alive

Sometimes
