Flowering Night

We take another turn On piss-stained marble floors Outside the world burns The empire runs its course Yet here we are safe In long-abandoned halls We only have to wait Until the morning calls But will dawn come? Will we see it? Has the Earth stopped turning Or is the air just full of soot? There are flowering vines Winding their way around our hearts If we stand still Have we run out of time? Time is the one thing we can't make But we can kill Dancing our only revolution Drinking our best solution There is dust here and danger and fear of discovery Trust among strangers protecting some mystery If we are are the saviors please tell me what we're saving Lost in the labors of simply misbehaving Yes we have killed the cops in our heads, but what's next? We're free or we're trapped, what does it matter if we're dead? There are flowering vines Winding their way around our hearts If we stand still Have we run out of time? Time is the one thing we can't make But we can kill Dancing our only revolution Drinking our best solution Dancing our only revolution Drinking our best solution We take another turn On piss-stained marble floors Outside the world burns The empire runs its course Yet somehow we are safe In long-abandoned halls We only have to wait Until the morning calls Yes we have killed the cops in our heads, but what's next? We're perfectly free, but what we have left our children There are flowering vines Winding their way around our hearts If we stand still Have we run out of time? Time is the one thing we can't make But we can kill

I've got a pot of gold Hidden out beneath the snow On a hill above a lake There's a place I sit and wait And think of the things I should say When I'm with you When I looked, I realized That the dog was still alive So we took it to the vet And they opened up her side And when they took the tumor out it was flowering I rubbed the thought of you Between my fingers, like dried up glue And I can't believe the times You can die but still survive On a screen and on a line, you'll be flowering

Las parejas de estrellas Con espera llevaban Las parejas de estrellas Con espera llevaban Carrusel de colores Parecían la cumbiamba Carrusel de colores Parecían la cumbiamba Y de pronto surgió Una reina esperada Y de pronto surgió Una reina esperada Era Marta, la reina Que mi mente soñaba Era Marta, la reina Que mi mente soñaba A sus pies vi la luna Las estrellas, las aguas A sus pies vi la luna Las estrellas, las aguas Y un himno de fiesta Las palmeras cantaban Y un himno de fiesta Las palmeras cantaban Una vez me quedé Ahí dormido en la playa Y allí yo soñé Que del cielo bajaba Un enjambre de estrellas Y la luna plateada A las olas del mar Con su luz salpicaban
