Текст песни Send My Body Home (Uncle Bonsai) с переводом

Now I lay me down to sleep

Pray the lord my soul to keep

If I should die before I wake

Please send my body home

I don’t like Virginia

I went there in the winter

There were good ol' boys in T-shirts

With a case or two of beer

And though I didn’t show my fear

I could tell that there was danger in their eyes

And these people in the country

Look a lot like one another

Just like maybe they’re related

To everybody here

And though I didn’t get too near

Well, I think that I can generalize

There are people in Virginia

Who I know are educated

And I’m sure they hardly notice

These Neanderthals on wheels

I don’t like Alabama

I was there when it was raining

And these good ol' boys in Chevys

Leave their mufflers back at home

There were chickens in the gutters

There was murder in the drive

I was not the first to utter

«Let me make it back home dead or alive»

Don’t let me die here

If I should die here

Don’t let me lie here

Out here alone

Don’t let me die here

If I should die here

Don’t say goodbye here

Send my body home!

I don’t like the Dakotas

'Cause there aren’t any people

An occasional oasis

And some stupid tourist traps

And though I kinda liked the sunsets

I could tell that they were always the same

And these people in the desert

Are the same as all the others

Saving up for indoor plumbing

With an outhouse in the back

There’s a dinner bell that’s ringing

And the kinfolk will arrive

And you know I’ll break out singing

If I make it to the border alive

Don’t let me die here

If I should die here

Don’t let me lie here

Out here alone

Don’t let me die here

If I should die here

Don’t say goodbye here

Send my body home!

There’s a cousin in the bathroom

There’s a cousin in the stable

There’s a cousin at the window

Who’s emotionally unable

To be anything but dazzled

When the family assembles

And he works so hard at counting

All the cousins he resembles

And the man who drives the tractor

Must have done a bit of drinking

When he ran into the neighbors

Just to score some extra points

He was tryn’a hit some pigeon

Who was tryn’a survive

And you know I’ll find religion

If I make it to the suburbs alive

Don’t let me die here

If I should die here

Don’t let me lie here

Out here alone

Don’t let me die here

If I should die here

Don’t say goodbye here

Send my body home!
