Lyrics and translation
Original
There's diesel in my petrol generator.
There's no coffee on my grounds.
I'm sleeping in the elevator, dreaming in mellow jazz sounds.
But there's a man with a bag, and I heard he's coming 'round, and that he's got a few answers for me, and that he could help me sleep again.
I heard he tells a sad story that comes up daisies by the end.
I just need a little time.
We're getting there.
I just need a little time.
We're getting there.
I just need a little time.
We're getting there.
I'm shining my boots and slicking my hair.
My spirit has a wretched spleen.
The neighbors see me through the window.
I do my best to keep it clean.
A bin bag, rain, and some tiptoes.
I've heard you've got a dog, and he's been through the throes, and he has a few answers for me, and that he could help me wake again.
I heard he tells a sad story that comes up daisies by the end.
I just need a little time.
We're getting there.
I just need a little time.
We're getting there.
I need a little time.
We're getting there!
I'm shining my boots and slicking my hair.
-Slipping. . . -Just finding my way.
-Slipping. . .
-Just minding my pace.
-Slipping. . . -Just finding my way.
-Slipping. . . -Minding my pace.
Slipping. . . Slipping. . .
Finding my way.
Slipping. . . Slipping. . .
-Minding my pace. -Slipping. . .
Slipping. . .
Finding my pace!
Slipping. . .
