Текст песни My Cat Is Afraid of the Vacuum Cleaner (Power Salad) с переводом

My cat is afraid of the vacuum cleaner

The way it goes, «Vroom, vroom, vroom»

Vroom, vroom, vroom

Vroom, vroom, vroom

My cat is afraid of the vacuum cleaner

The way it goes «Vroom, vroom, vroom».

And the way it makes calls in the middle of the night

To shadowy men with underworld connections

It’s conversations sound innocent enough,

But then, why is it whispering

And saying things that are obviously codes

Like, «Go to the laundry and pick up my shorts»?

It’s a vacuum cleaner, it doesn’t wear shorts.

But it does have a secret hidden room

Full of instruments of torture from ancient times

That were stolen from a little-known Idaho museum.

And on the wall in the secret room

Is a picture of actor Anthony Hopkins

Taken from the movie «Silence of the Lambs»,

The one where he wears the scary mask.

And next to the picture of Anthony Hopkins

Is a picture of the vacuum cleaner

In the same scary mask, but a smaller version.

It’s cute in a way, but in other ways no.

And also on the walls are some scribbled words.

Incoherent paranoid rants

Written in a language called Vacuumese

Derived from French and the operating manual

Of a 1972 Electrolux.

And what is written on those walls

In the language known as Vacuumese

Sends icy chills up my little cat’s spine

And makes it toss and turn at night.

But the thing about the vacuum cleaner

That scares my cat the very most,

That makes it wake in a cold, cold sweat

And haunts its days and haunts its nights

And makes it jump at the slightest noise…

Is the way it goes, «Vroom, vroom, vroom».

Vroom, vroom, vroom

Vroom, vroom, vroom

Vroom, vroom, vroom
