Текст песни Sleeping In Traffic (Beardfish) с переводом

Waking up in panic

A room not hot or cold

Afraid to fall asleep again

My other side will unfold

I am on the edge of sanity

Far out in a hazy, troubled dream

I’ve scored the morning

A crimson red thought

Someone is struggling

With the battles I’ve fought

Sleeping in the traffic

Red lights turn to green

Blinding painted white lines

Moving in between

I am on the edge of sanity

Far out in a hazy, troubled dream

Time and time over

It’s always the same

Reckon you know me

Are you playing my game?

Me is my own worst enemy…

Me is my own worst enemy…

In a room a frantic fool

Waiting for a juicy blues

I present my guitar song

Scratching strings with tones too long

They see me with tired eyes

Hidden coughs: he’s full of lies

Cigarette and black tar stains

Darkness feasts on my remains

Please save me…

Please save me…

Out of darkness, into light

Still there’s no salvation in sight…

Seven wishes, what’s the first?

Seven wishes quench your bloodthirst

Killing has no consequence

In a world that makes no sense

Blow the brain that brought this up

Blow the brain that thought this up

Please save me…

Please save me…

Lady in the doorway

With a face that’s so kind

Caressing smells

Twisting my mind

Magical evening

And she’s got the glow

And though she’s got it all

She’s giving it away

She’s giving it away

Eyes begin to glow

In the semi-dark room

I move close and close my eyes

And welcome her lips to mine

She takes off her clothes

Let them slide down her hips

Her body’s glowing

And she’s giving it away

She’s giving it away

In the bed I lie awake

There’s one road for me to take

I must leave while there’s still time

To find out this truth of mine

Sleep

I’m only sleeping

Notice that my eyes are open

Run

What am I running from?

The demons, they can’t catch me while I’m traveling

Dark

Dark, dark, darkness

Fill me up and set me free

See

I smell ocean air

Sleeping in the presence of seagulls

In the misty morning fog, the dock lies clear

Salty smell of coral reefs appears this time of year

From the depths of mother earth, he comes again

It’s Captain Flurry and his henchmen

In spite of his old crooked back and generous age

The beard, the pipe, his rusty sword, he’s a kleptomanic sage man

He knows the difference to what we call right or wrong

And the henchmen sing him their old song

Har-har! We have sailed far

From Norway to Peru

Whatever Captain Flurry says

You must believe it is true

Har-har! We have sailed far

From Norway to Peru

Whatever Captain Flurry says

You must believe it is true

Hah-hah-hah-hah!

Har-har! We have sailed far

From Norway to Peru

Whatever Captain Flurry says

You must believe it is true (HAH-HAH-HAH!)

Har-har! We have sailed far

From Norway to Peru

Whatever Captain Flurry says

You must believe it is true

He says that

«Well you know snow covers the igloos»

He tells me

«It's hot and dry in the Sahara desert, har-har-hah-hah»

The kings and queens has got it in for us

And I just missed the bus

I’m running away now, away from pirates and seagulls and the dock of the bay

Reaching sweet perfumed city streets

Scented by gasoline and neon lights in sweet cooperation

A guy yells «Hey!» but I can’t stop, 'cause the rhythm’s got me by the balls,

so to say

I’m sneaking into the backstreets of some sleazy 70's disco club…

The ceiling is a sky of bright shiny disco lights

There’s Bee Gees on the gramophone, they’re singing «Ha ha ha ha, Staying alive»

Oh please, make me, take me through the night

But the laughter from her is an ocean of sleep to my restless soul

Tension leaves by her embrace, and her breasts are warm, not cold

They’re not cold at all

In refleciton of some slim shade goggles

I decide to ease my stoned head

A punk stands in my freeway line

Taking up my precious time

His hair is dyed in the color blue

Purple, green, and yellow too

«Hello Dolly» on his lips

And Dixieland groove in his hips

He won’t crack a smile for me

Won’t be calm, he can’t be, see

My arm is on the shoulder of

The woman his dreams depended on

I have touched her deep inside

«Well Have I?» says I, I’m just passing by!

Says he’ll send me straight to hell

To teach me my lesson well

His lady’s staring at me

She’s a glaze-eyed lover, concrete stone-faced, supersonic ultra bitch

She’s tasting cocktails — «which is which, ha ha ha?»

The bitch breathes fire and fire takes me higher than you (x3)

The bitch breathes fire and fire takes me higher than. You. Do

Sleep. I’m only sleeping

Dream. I’m only dreaming

Drink. I’m only driving

The punk is raising living hell

I decide to grow my shell

Run from here while I still can

'cause he’s got a gun in his hand

Shooting bullets where they hit

Or wherever they may fit

My stomach begins to ache a bit

And I collapse while thinking: «shit»

The gun breathes fire and fire takes me higher than you (x2)

The gun breathes fire and fire takes me higher than

You. Fire takes me higher than. You. Do

Falling through the fire

No constant speed left

Falling faster and faster

Do I really exist?

Am I on the verge of sanity?

In this hell of false humanity

The sheets are filled with angst

I once thought I’d escaped

But time after time

The pattern is the same

Oh I get trapped in myself

And there’s no way out of here

My mind is the maze

That only I can face (x3)

Me is my own worst enemy (x2)
