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
