Lyrics and translation

Original

Popular slogans and a bucket of paint
Supercomputer on a jolly crusade
Massaging your forearms, holding your gaze
Stealing your thunder, washing your brain
Trying not to wake up sleeping dogs, just because
You're a lonely little Hall of Famer
Tonight is heavy on one side, sort of like
A set of cherry red and white loaded dice
You've got something on your mind, and so have I
I can see it from here, oh
Ten years later, it's been a decade
Coming together in a suitable space
Mystery boxes from which you cannot escape
Sticking your neck out in a spiritual way
Tonight is heavy on one side, sort of like
A set of cherry red and white loaded dice
You've got something on your mind, and so have I
I can see it from here, oh
Alternate realities sneak up on the sly, the way I know you like
Please, don't fall in love with everything on opening night
Flashback to infinity, just one more time
(Tonight is heavy on one side)
Tonight is heavy on one side, sort of like
(A set of cherry red and white)
A set of cherry red and white loaded dice
(You've got something on your mind)
You've got something on your mind, and so have I
I can see it from here
