Текст песни America (Tori Amos) с переводом

The other America

You can find her Sunday

Sitting by a stream

On her own

All alone

The other America

Might show up on Tuesday

At your kitchen door

She will ask politely

«Is anybody home?

Or did they all lay down

To sleep through the now?

And if they all lay down

I’ll be waiting for them

At the river bed

Once they wake from their rest"

The other America

Takes herself to night school

To understand the law

She may bring you questions

When she finds the flaw

«Why did they all lay down

To sleep through the now?

And if they all lay down

I’ll be waiting for them

At the river bed

Once they wake from their rest»

We could be opening a doorway

Globally, but that’s okay

Once upon a time you had faith

You would not be swayed

By fools untouched by clairvoyance

And you swore that we’d be brave

Well, not today

No, not today

Because we all lay down

To sleep through the now

And if we all lay down

She’ll be waiting for us

Where the rivers cross

Once we wake from our rest

«All the best»

The Other America
