lyrics

Пока ты спишь, спичка зажжет плиту.
Крепкий кофе во рту, на стене пестрый постер крадущий глаза.
Где среди каменно-голых планет
и тысячи пламенных солнц,
стоя спиной вытянул шею твой тоненький силуэт.
"Так и знал. Ты не с земли".
Я так играю словами с тобой.
Но ты крепко спишь, оголив лопатки.
Обняв подушку.
Тебя будит гром
и тебе страшно.
Стекла окон дрожат,
Машины кричат так безобразно.

Я так счастлив увидеть твою смешную беду.
Крепко обняв непроизвольно вру, что смогу защитить от всего.
Эскалатор несет нас вниз.
И через пару минут нас проглотит стальной червяк ползущий в глубь метро.
Над городом гром.
На улице тишь.
И сегодня луна не заглянет в окно.
Мы под дождём идем домой.
Пить вино.
____________________

the match gently lights the stove while you're still sleeping
a sip of strong coffee, its tinge in my mouth
the flashy wall poster is stealing my eyes
where among stony naked planets
and millions of burning suns
your silhouette is gracefully portrayed, so thin and fragile

"I knew it. You're really not from Earth", —
this is how I play my words with you
but you sleep tight with your bare naked shoulders
serenely embracing the pillow

heavy thunder rudely wakes you up
you're scared
the windowpanes are trembling
and cars screaming like beasts

I am so happy to witness your ridiculous tragedy
you're in my arms and I unwittingly lie to you
that I can protect you from everything

the escalator is lowering us down
the steel worm crawling deep in the underground
will devour us in a moment

thunder roars over the city
the streets are silent
and the moon is not coming out tonight
we're walking home under the rain
to kiss our cups of wine
