Текст песни: What Do I Know? + перевод

[By the summer of 2010, Mom was living in an «Independent Living»

facility outside of Boston

She was putting on a good show, but she was not safe. I «climbed the castle

wall» and broke her out

I am «my mother’s only daughter"]

Right foot Red and Left Hand Blue

I’m tangled up when you get through

Don’t know what the hell to do

You tie me up and you tie me down

There’s no way out of this dark town

And you’re all painted like a clown

With a permanent frown

There’s this cold breath on my collar

There’s the dime and there’s the dollar

But I’ll make the call, take the fall, climb the castle wall

I’m my mother’s only daughter

And what do I know?

Tell me, tell me

What do I know?

I’m listening now

You ask me «What's the real return?»

As parades pass by and bridges burn

And I say, «Nothing ventured? Then nothing’s earned»

It’s what I learned

'Cause every complicated step, she’d be watching from stage left

And when I’d fall she’d talk me through the rest

What did I know?

Tell me, tell me

What did I know?

I’m listening now

The party’s never over here

There’s music blasting in our ears

What the hell is ever clear but the ones you hold dear?

And so it goes until the end

We will break and break if we don’t bend

And there’s one more clown that someone sends

And it starts again

What do I know?

Tell me, tell me what do I know?

I’m listening now

What do I know?

Tell me, tell me what do I know?

I’m listening now
