Lyrics and translation

Original

Well, the story begins with a dog in my hand

And I'm tied to the rock that burns in the sand

The waves are crashing, and the jellies afloat

And the flowers in the water surrounding the boat

Whose mind is this?

Just tell me who

Whose mind is this?

No meaning coming through

There's a hole in my head you can see right through

I make out a mirror, but I can only see you

I'm becoming a building with a door for a mouth

My head's in the north and my feet in the south

The walls of my skin so alive to the touch

Come into the building, I want you so much

Oh, oh, oh, oh, put the bucket down

Hey, hey, put the bucket down

Oh, oh, oh, oh, put the bucket down

Hey, hey, put the bucket down

I am the sum of all the signals that move inside the head

The less you have, the more you can make of it

With all those senses and those feelings that light up in the brain

And they paint the picture, build a brand new world again, world again

Oh, oh, oh, oh, put the bucket down

Hey, hey, put the bucket down

Oh, oh, oh, oh, put the bucket down

Hey, hey, put the bucket down

Well, these thoughts move around me, they swim inside my head

No idea which have been written, which thoughts have just been read

Some light up the shadows, bringing life back to the dead

While all the maps keep changing, imagination led

Whose mind is this?

Just tell me who

Whose mind is this?

No meaning coming through

Well, the salt is in the chocolate, the silky, sexy stain

I feel illumination in all the circuits of my brain

Please show me where we're going, unroll the love and pain

No one here can tell you where we're heading on this train

I am the sum of all the signals that move inside the head

The less you have, the more you can make of it

With all those senses and those feelings that light up in the brain

And they paint the picture, build a brand new world again, world again

Oh, oh, oh, oh, put the bucket down

Hey, hey, put the bucket down

Oh, oh, oh, oh, put the bucket down

Hey, hey, put the bucket down

I am the sum of all the signals that move inside the head

The less you have, the more you can make of it

With all those senses and those feelings that light up in the brain

And they paint the picture, build a brand new world again, world again

Well, this story's beginning is the same as the end

The train's in motion, sparks tunnel 'round the bend

Sparks tunnel 'round the bend

Sparks tunnel 'round the bend
