Lyrics and translation

Original

Who cares? What's the use of crying? Nothin'

Just sink in the mud, arms waving

Airlift me off the silt flats in a bore tide

Sailor boy, stand under the light in my grandfather's dog tags

If you could be strong, you'd insert the knife

You be the king, and I'll be your wife

Find someplace to hide

Where the dream survives

I'm lonely, will your love be mine?

Maybe we can pretend

On standby, on standby

Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry

On standby, on standby

Stand on God, we see you coming, you'll know crime (you'll know crime)

But you don't know why (you'll know crime)

But you don't know

What's the family's role when felony rules?

The killer, the carp, the creeper, the fool

On dunes where we ride

Will the dreams survive? I remain positive

We don't need more rules, we can bend

You could tell me the point of today's nothing

I'll hold you 'til the golden boomerang returns

Or you could jump into the Sandy with

Me and my baby soaking it in

On standby, on standby

Stand on God, keep on running, boy, you cry

On standby, on standby

Stand on God, we see you coming, you'll know crime (you'll know crime)

But you don't know why (you'll know crime)

But you don't know

Life forgives, but when it's gone, there it goes, my happiness

Love don't forget, but when it's gone, there it goes, my happiness

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

Still sinking industrial society and futures were no fantasy

Close your eyes, go to that place, a cabin in a room

Where you've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

Still sinking industrial society and futures were no fantasy

Close your eyes, go to that place, a cabin in a room

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts

You've been lonely long enough to know it hurts
