Lyrics and translation
Original
Because these holes we fall into now they're my home, my home.
Down here I cannot feel the wind, can't feel the rain or pain. And I believe in gentlemen of the year.
I won't know unless you tell me.
Is this the way my world has got to be?
If I descend will I be free? Look at me, oh, look at me.
Is this the way I've always been?
Oh no.
Oh no. Now I dream that somebody will suddenly come and kidnap me.
Oh no. Oh no.
Every day I lie awake and pray to God today's the day. Oh no. Oh no.
Here I am, oh, here I am. Oh, when will someone understand?
Oh no.
Oh no. And all at once I feel this.
Oh, how it clings to me.
It reels and pulls me towards it. Confounding destiny. And
I can feel madness inching in.
The more I run, the more I run again. I've got to know, is life a precious thing?
Just like the sand in an hourglass. Look at me, oh, look at me.
Is this the way I've always been?
Oh no.
Oh no. Now I dream that somebody will suddenly come and kidnap me. Oh no.
Oh no.
Every day I lie awake and pray to God today's the day.
Oh no. Oh no. Here I am, oh, here I am.
Oh, when will someone understand?
Oh no.
Oh no.
Look at me, oh, look at me. Is this the way I've always been?
Oh no. Oh no.
Now I dream that somebody will suddenly come and kidnap me.
Oh no. Oh no.
Every day I lie awake and pray to God today's the day. Oh no.
Oh no.
Here I am, oh, here I am. Oh, when will someone understand? Oh no.
Oh no.
