Текст песни The Prescience of Dawn (The Weakerthans) с переводом

The sirens woke me up again

I know they’re coming for me someday, just a matter of when

Count to 25 and yawn

Touch the clock and turn my back against the dawn

And hope for that one dream

Of hardware stores with checkered floors

And buckets full of nails

Or floating effortless

Over the apartments in a boat

And rowing past the office windows

Mother, mother, may I cry?

Father, will you teach me how to die the right way someday?

I don’t want a second chance

To turn my stuttering reluctance into romance

With these documents

And kindergarten anthems with my drunken liturgies

Tune the FM into static and pretend that it’s the sea

But four words fumble for the microphone

«You should have known»

«You should have known»
