Текст песни Halflife (My Fair Fiend) с переводом

And when the doctor couldn’t help I went to the mechanic and said «I'm broken inside.»

But he said «M'am I guess I don’t understand. I’m only a man. I make machines

work when I can."When I can

Then up stepped the scientist, said «Let me try at this. I specialize in

answering questions when no one can explain.»

So I sighed and asked him «Why do I feel this way?»

He said «Emotions are just chemicals in your brain, and chemical’s decay after

a moment in a test tray. And everything has a brief moment when it flourishes

before it starts to die — It’s called a half-life. Now if you squint very

carefully with your eye you’ll see the process by which everybody tries to

survive. But the rules of science are swift and true, and nobody can undo them

as hard as they try.» As hard as they try

And the isotopes under the microscope

Taught me everything I’ll ever need to know

Except how to let go

There’s a butterfly with it’s wing torn off crawling ‘round in the dirt

Through the greenhouse of my thoughts

And when the little girl cries to see it that way

Her momma says «Butterflies only live two weeks anyway.»

Her half-life came five days ago

While she was in the sun making love by the window

For all we know… For all we know

She might have been destined to die alone

There’s a sullen girl in a world apart

Writing poems with a pencil on the white walls in the dark

She says «I know my weapon’s just a harmless tool.»

But still the brilliant fool who bound the tree to the charcoal

Never knew what it would do

Her half-life came about an hour ago

While she was on her knees saying prayers to the radio

But the song she wanted to hear did not exist

And with her angry fists she couldn’t write the words to make it whole

Half-life, what a lovely decay of words

And all the doctors enter the room with their pills and their cures

But nature takes what nature wants to keep

For all we know… For all we know tonight I might just sleep
