Текст песни One Drop of Beauty (The Mommyheads) с переводом

Asleep on a velvet bed

We’re running out of time

In a van shot full of lead

We’re running out of time

On a road with both our headlights off

We’ve driven off the map

Now there’s no turning back

The failed artist is on the march

His paintbrush burns the trees

He’s always a stroke away

To a world down on its knees

His canvas is the disillusioned crowd

Each word dilutes the facts

Now there’s no turning back

But a glance at her was a higher power

He searched for her till his final hour

But a forgery stood in her place

Now he’ll never get see her face

Or a drop of beauty

One drop of beauty

Time wasn’t on our side

We couldn’t plan ahead

Three circles drawn by hand

Three circles drawn in red

On a trail a bounty hunter couldn’t find

We hid her in a box

Down deep in a salt mine

The failed artist is at the door

With a nonaggression pact

You can smell the scent of war

His smile is just an act

His canvas is the disillusioned crowd

Each word dilutes the facts

Now there’s no turning back

But a glance at her was a higher power

He searched for her till his final hour

But a forgery stood in her place

Now he’ll never get see her face

Or a drop of beauty

One drop of beauty

We never thought we’d get this far

From just following the stars

All this time never knowing

A decoy from the real thing

But a glance at her was a higher power

He searched for her till his final hour

But a forgery stood in her place

Now he’ll never get see her face

Or a drop of beauty

One drop of beauty
