Lyrics and translation
Original
Where's everybody going?
Is it around to your pleasure house?
We're fighting an ugly war and it's no good to freak out. Oh please, it's obscene.
I've seen your true colors and there's nothing underneath, only green.
I stare at the pictures of canyons open between.
When I caught your eye, I glimpsed a bright star.
Going on and on, you're not looking civilized.
You're bursting into pieces.
You polished off your cocaine.
Your face is fucking numb.
I can see the pain in your heart.
Look out the window.
See what you could have had.
And I could be, I could be the best friend you never had. Where's everybody gone?
They've all abandoned my house.
Nobody comes and goes, but it's no good to freak out.
Oh please, it's obscene.
You focus on others and just pick apart their dreams. It's fucking mean.
I tear at the stitch and there's nothing on underneath.
When I caught your eye, I glimpsed a bright star.
Going on and on, it's a shame to be civilized.
You're picking up the pieces. You're stepping off the ghost train.
You could be the one.
I got no more fear in my heart.
Look out the window.
See what you're gonna have.
And I will be,
I will be the best friend you never had.
Weird leisure comes when all pleasure goes. Weird leisure comes when all pleasure goes.
Weird leisure comes when all pleasure goes.
Weird leisure comes when all pleasure goes.
You picked up all the pieces and started your life again.
You're my number one.
I have only hope in my heart.
We're at the window surveying all we have.
And I believe, I believe that it's my turn, don't hold me back.
It's my turn, don't hold me back.
It's my turn, don't hold me back.
It's my turn, don't hold me back.
