Текст песни Aloysius, Bluegrass Drummer (Silver Jews) с переводом

Aloysius was a bluegrass drummer

He was just a normal kid

Bloomin', trippin', flowin' under

Just as I once did

At a 24-hour restaurant

Open to the end of time

He was washing dishes there

When he met Brick Butterfly

She was a no wave singer for a country act

Working outta Region Ten

She was all strung out on hard street fat

But he didn’t know it then

First a look, then a spark

Sound of Velcro in the dark

His heart is spinning like a bicycle wheel

She and he laid the stems down flat

In the middle of a field

Brick Butterfly had a history

Of sleeping with the kitchen staff

She was a hardcore gobbler

And a longtime guzzler of hydrogenated crap

Suet, tallow, liquid squeals

Great mounds of plastic lard

That’s what she got the lad to steal

On the night that he got fired

Aloysius woke at five a. m

The hungry girl was gone

There was blood in the bedding

Forks in the ceiling

And bones all over the lawn

Like any strong young poet would

He packed his bags for Region Ten

I guess now I know him less

Than I ever knew him then

Yes, I guess I know him even less

Than I ever knew him then
