Текст песни The Prince Of The Hanging Gardens (Beatenberg) с переводом

I’m a lazy student

In a circular library

With a glass ceiling

And a parquet floor

After graduation

I’m gonna go to the Amazon

In search of a pigment

That I want on my wall

Hold me

Scold me

Extol me

Console me

Through the 90s

And the 80s

And the Tigris

The Euphrates

And after all that I’ve said

I want you to know me

I want you to throw me

In the river

So the clouds that follow my head

Can finally rain down

On all your hydrangeas

I never had a doubt that you would come through

I always adored you

I always ignored you

Just to make you try harder

To you do what you do

I had to be awful

Just to keep you from danger

Come stand at my window

With a view of suburbia

As it marks out the borders

Of my opulent ground

I’m rich but I’m troubled;

There’s a worm in my bougainvillaea

Why do you plague me

When my ethics are sound?

Hold me

Scold me

Extol me

Console me

Through the 90s

And the 80s

Through the waters

Of Issey

And after all I’ve said

It’s academia

How could I be so faithful

To the Queen of Media?

Through the 90s

And the 80s

In the AD

And the BC

Through the Xanthus

And the Yangtze

And the Niger

And the Ganges

Hold me

Fold me

Control me

Cajole me

And release me

On the Lethe

And the Ichor through my body

Babylon

Babble on

Etc
