Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Heard a train come rumbling through the mountains
Sounding like a swarm of silvery butterflies
Held my breath and heard the city breathing
Listening to the sleeping millions stir inside
'Round the bay a million lights are glistening
The traffic signal pulses upon my wall
City night, my lover lightly sleeping
And here I'm caught with my thoughts and her and all
Creeping on in geometric legion
The city held a being that was hers alone
Golden rose, she captured the horizon
She and her inversion in the water show
Up the stairs now, going out the window
Bopping to the city's throbbing morning call
Monday morning settles on the linen
Inside, outside, I am gone!
ย
Back again to settle in beside her
Oh and yes, the city's breath was foggy cold
As she stirred the curtain at the window
Dim and shimmering blanket of electric mold
I'm lost, a thing of no position
Trapped in a dimension hitherto unknown
Cast away to drift among the systems
I'm swirling in a sector that is far from home
I, the fly, was hopelessly entangled
Going till the rain crow and the whippoorwill
I, the fly, was loaded, croaking, moaning
Struggling in the cobwebs at the windowsill
Then the train comes rumbling through the mountains
Sends the idle chatter from beyond the dawn
I, the fly, must send my resignation
Please delete, I can't repeat myself no more!
