Текст песни The Worst Joke Ever (R.E.M.) с переводом

You see there’s this cat burglar who can’t see in the dark

He lays his bets on 8 more lives, walks into a bar

Slips on the 8 ball, falls on his knife

Says, «I don’t know what I’ve done, but it doesn’t feel right!

Some things don’t hold up over the course of a lifetime

When’s the first time you heard that one, 1954?

Get to the punch line, fall to the floor

Give me a minute and I’ll tell you the setup for

The worst joke ever, I never

I’ll tell you my version of the greatest life story

Don’t bore me

Now I am floating

I feel released

The moorings have been dropped

The weights unleashed

Everything is crystalline, simple and free

The crime of good men who can’t wrestle with change

Or are too afraid to face this life’s misjudged unknowns

You’re not hurting anybody else’s chances

But you’re disfiguring your own

Give me a minute and I’ll tell you the setup for

The worst joke ever, I never

I’ll tell you my version of the greatest life story

Don’t bore me

You see there’s this feeling that I’ve heard this one before
