Текст песни: Charlie Kelly: King of the Rats + перевод

I stayed up until the sun came out

And walked the streets of the city I grew to love

Passed the places I grew up and out of

The rising sun assaults my tender head

There’s no sympathy for chronic self-infliction

Walking home in dirty clothes from last night

I should know by now that I will never learn

And I won’t sit here waiting for my turn

How did I get stuck out here with another cigarette between my lips?

I bite my tongue, clench my teeth into my gums, so I can’t speak

I know I stare too long, because I think I’m gazing

I talk about myself because I think I’m self-aware

These romances that you cultivate so desperately

Grow less like flowers, more like weeds

And you’re starved for light beneath the poison canopy

I should know by now that I will never learn

And I won’t sit here waiting for my turn

So make your rounds again,

You’ll say that I drew you in

I’m only human after all

I let you out the front door,

and watched from the window as you walked away

Just to see if you’d look back,

Look back and see me

I should know by now that I will never learn

And I won’t sit here waiting for my turn
