Translation
Bilingual
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
ย
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
ย
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
ย
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
ย
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
ย
It went like this:
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair
ย
The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze
ย
I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"
ย
You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever
ย
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
For sure it's the valley of death
I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood
ย
