Translation
Bilingual
I was getting ready for summer in a late night pharmacy
ย
When a person of interest came and asked me to dance
And for fear of being made out into something I am not
ย
I took up his offer and skipped on into the night
ย
Past the semi-conscious streets that dare not speak
Of the disillusioned youths in second hand suits
Or the god-fearing husband too afraid to go home
To the wife with the knife, for he is Caesar and she is Rome
ย
Past the pillars of hand-chiseled stone
Standing guard by the untouchable throne
They smugly spit, "Look here, the dog with his precious bone!"
"Not tonight kid, you're drunk, go home"
But you've no home to go to
ย
