No one waits for her inside the house She spots a stranger in the mirror And the record spins her nearer To the outcome of her day You live inside the city You forget how tall the trees can get A bird sits on A branch across From my eighth floor window
And you can't really say That it's an eighth floor branch 'Cause trees don't have floors And buildings do
Восьмой этаж Восьмой этаж Все высоко Все под тобой
Вот идет домой Карман пустой Хоть милостыню просите Три рубля на водку и буханку белого хлеба
А теперь, наверное, все дороже И дорожки те забыты А над ними паруса
Первый этаж Я маленькая Все высоко Все надо мной
Восьмой этаж Америка Я высоко Все подо мной Я высоко...
I came in from the rain which Wasn't really rain It was just January snow in denial And something must have gotten lost In the translation Russian to English And winter wasn't wintery today
She comes into the house And no one waits for her inside the house She spots a stranger in the mirror And the record spins her nearer To the outcome of her day You live inside the city You forget how tall the trees can get A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window

If you're never sorry Then you can't be forgiven If you're not forgiven Then you can't be forgotten If you're not forgotten Then you can live forever If you live forever Then you'll begin to dream Of death Death, death, death Deaaath
Ezra Pound sat upon my bed Asked me which books as of late I've read
Ezra Pound sat upon my bed Asked me which books as of late I've read Asked me if I've, uh, I've read his own And whether I could spare a pound Of flesh to cover his bare bones I says, man, take a pound Take two What's a pound of flesh between Friends like me and you? What's a pound Of flesh among friends? What's a pound Of flesh among friends?
But if you're never sorry If you're never sorry
If you're never sorry Then you can't be forgiven If you're not forgiven Then you can't be forgotten If you're not forgotten Then you must live forever If you live forever You cannot be reborn If you're not reborn, then You can't be a baby If you're not a baby You can't learn how to crawl If you cannot crawl away Then you must stay in bed all day If you stay in bed all day You're sure to have some visitors
Ezra Pound will sit upon your bed Ask you which books as of late you have read Ask you if you've, uh, uh, read his own And whether you could spare a pound Of flesh to cover his bare bones You'll say, man, take a pound Take two What's a pound of flesh between Friends like me and you? What's a pound Of flesh among friends? What's a pound Of flesh among friends? What's a pound Of flesh among friends?

I know that you cannot be here I know that you are not mine now Looking out the window At another window I see toenails changing color Like the leaves of fall If you often smile But often don't smile Which do you do more often Smile.. or not? I dreamt a hydrant was covered in snow A white light glowing below I know that you cannnot be here I know that you are not mine now Looking out the window At another window I see toenails changing color Like the leaves of fall
