Текст песни Cotton Candy (Mia Stegner) с переводом

Cotton candy stuck in the sky like clouds

Accomplished by over two hundred people standing around

Blowing them into the air at the same time

I traveled in time. I was living on a farm with chickens

I went to my grandparents' house to check in, and they called the police

Because they didn’t know who I was

At restaurant I was taking longer than everyone else to order

The waitress left before getting to me

Later she brought back a honey sandwich, that I had to pay for

I didn’t want to eat it, so I ordered off the menu anyway

Someone asked me if he could borrow some Popsicle sticks

I said «We're using them for mini corn dogs,» but we fixed the problem

By selling the corn dogs, and he collected what he needed from the trash

I was kidnapped by some lady with a group of my peers

We sat in circle cutting things from magazines, like eyes and ears

Eventually I decided to go out to the balcony and call the police

Falling through the air, like a blue human snowflake

Icy skin, frosty hair, I hoped I wouldn’t break

A lion was living in my garden, coexisting with the rabbits

I rubbed my eye and pulled out my whole eye socket by accident

My parents became crazy and got angry at me

They dropped my laptop out a window, so I climbed into a tree

And left, to live with my Chemistry table group from sophomore year

We were at an arcade, I was with my brother and my dad

We were looking for some sort of trophy cup thing, and I can’t remember why

But I remember feeling very sad

We started throwing paint balls. None of them broke

Later we looked under our car. We pulled out some paint balls and books

The girl working at a fast food joint was upset that I wasn’t getting enough to

eat

So she gave me a sweater from their spring collection. Pretty sweet

We decided we couldn’t eat breakfast, because we’d be late for school

But then we were reminded that it was summer, and there was no school

The school newspaper staff accidentally ate donuts that were Yearbook’s

So my dad and I drove out at night to buy them more, but look!

The town was being attacked by a giant rat-lizard creature

Some famous person I knew had also designed

The pink and blue flower barrettes I was wearing at the time

I dyed my hair purple and I almost dyed my face blue

Which apparently would have been a fairly normal thing to do

I was the princess of fall but I wanted to be

The princess of spring because she wasn’t very good at her job

I became her friend, and we were both on TV

Live music, giraffes — I would declare I wanted to

Take over her job, but we’d become friends

So I hid my speech, and decided to tell her later when we were alone

My friend and I walked to get the mail. There were a few keys on top

She tried them in different boxes and unlocked people’s mail. I didn’t stop her

We both got in trouble and had to go to court the next day

We got away with it — we had each of our family members say

That one of the boxes was theirs and we were getting them all

A family was going to have a photo shoot

Instead the teenagers took a long road trip, a month-long route

They took the credit card, eventually one wanted to go home, she was stressed

about missing school

Everyone had fleas, so everyone keeping me

«Are you sure you never noticed that you had any fleas?»

I said no, but then I found an old video, in which I noticed a flea on my eyelid

Shh

My class was going on a field trip to space. Sadly, there would be no way to

come back down

My parents decided not to let me go, but before I went home that day,

I decided to look around

Lots of levels, lots of people I knew — it was dark yet colorful,

with lights everywhere like a club

There were rides, and music was playing. Someone gave me pink nail polish and a

little shrub

We visited a koala tree, where there were a bunch of little koala babies

It wasn’t very tall or green but my youngest cousin reassured me it’ll all come

back in the spring

Wearing snorkel masks, we went down a water slide that led us the lobby of a

strange hotel

I saved a raccoon and two cockroaches from our window well

(Our window well)

I got a cupcake tattoo and it turned out pretty bad

And the frosting rubbed off, and it looked weird, and I was sad

I hopped over lots of purple fences, running from the people who were mad at me

I found myself at a strange party with pale colors and curvy walls

I made a movie about a whale and a shark on a water slide at the mall

I lost my Chuck E Cheese toy down the gutter

So the guy behind the counter told me to find a band teacher

Because they all have a key to the city gutters

I thought, do you know what would be a good name for a novel?

«Trains, rain, and a wolf on a train,»

Because it rhymes so well and it’ll probably sell really well because it rhymes

so well

I went to get a dozen donuts but they wanted me to pay for the height of the

donuts

So they measured every donut and it got pretty expensive to buy a dozen donuts

I was trapped in a hospital so I stuffed a bag of chips into

A vent, which made it open from the outside so I could escape and then I got an

octopus tattoo

To symbolize escaping, and make me feel less blue

Sitting in a dark taxi on the way to an event, wearing a plum-colored dress

I was attempting to do my makeup in a small compass, I was so stressed

The guy next to me offered to help, he was a makeup artist

I said «Sure,» he finished, and the car stopped

I thanked him & said «Wow, I look like another person.»

My jaw dropped

He said, «That's because you are.»
