And stripes on fire, these hands are tired And stripes on fire, these hands are tired E as listras em chamas, estas mãos estão cansadas I'm making plans to drink away I'm making plans to drink away Estou fazendo planos para beber longe all these words, I can't escape all these words, I can't escape Todas estas palavras, eu não posso escapar I have to try to make you stay I have to try to make you stay Eu tenho que tentar fazer você ficar Because I'm alone Because I'm alone Porque eu estou sozinho stay with me this time stay with me this time Fique comigo neste momento Because what I'm feeling inside Because what I'm feeling inside Porque o que eu estou sentindo por dentro I'm troubled or maybe I'm blind I'm troubled or maybe I'm blind Estou com problemas ou talvez eu seja cego but I just can't see but I just can't see Mas eu simplesmente não consigo ver how this is helping me how this is helping me Como isso está me ajudando The stars are burning bright The stars are burning bright As estrelas estão queimando brilhantes like the light that lights your eyes like the light that lights your eyes Como a luz que ilumina seus olhos Why couldn't I see Why couldn't I see Por que eu não pude ver that you were leaving that you were leaving Que você estava saindo Because I'm alone Because I'm alone Porque eu estou sozinho I need someone to be my friend I need someone to be my friend Preciso de alguém para ser meu amigo But I can't take, anyone But I can't take, anyone Mas eu não posso tomar, ninguém who can't stay until the end who can't stay until the end Que não pode ficar até o final And the stars are burning bright And the stars are burning bright E as estrelas estão queimando brilhantes the smoke is rising high the smoke is rising high A fumaça se levantar the stripes are on the street the stripes are on the street As listras estão nas ruas from the mountain to the sea from the mountain to the sea Da montanha para o mar Because friend you?ve done me wrong Because friend you?ve done me wrong Porque amigo você já me fez mal left the spoils to the strong left the spoils to the strong Deixou os espólios para os fortes and preyed upon the weak and preyed upon the weak E atacavam os fracos there's an end to you and me there's an end to you and me Não há um fim para você e eu Because a friend can understand that there's no trust to be had Because a friend can understand that there's no trust to be had Porque um amigo pode entender que não há confiança para se ter You're just bouncing on your strings You're just bouncing on your strings Você só está saltando sobre as cordas a puppet on a screen a puppet on a screen Um fantoche em uma tela I'm not sure when you left I'm not sure when you left Não sei quando você saiu but it started with that theft but it started with that theft Mas começou com esse roubo it seems it's been so long it seems it's been so long Parece que faz tanto tempo
