Today i use sticks and twine to align bricks and mortar Today i use sticks and twine to align bricks and mortar Hoje eu uso varas e barbante para alinhar tijolos e argamassa To build four walls to hold my dreams and lover To build four walls to hold my dreams and lover Para construir quatro paredes para segurar meus sonhos e amante And if the rain keeps falling i will be the shelter that keeps And if the rain keeps falling i will be the shelter that keeps E se a chuva continua caindo Eu serei o abrigo que mantém All our harem warm and dry All our harem warm and dry Todos os nossos harém quente e seco I cannot lie and try to paint a plastic portrait to hang my hat on I cannot lie and try to paint a plastic portrait to hang my hat on Eu não posso mentir e tentar pintar um retrato de plástico para pendurar o meu chapéu And if this came down to sink or swim, i will perish at the bottom And if this came down to sink or swim, i will perish at the bottom E se este desceu a afundar ou nadar, i perecerão na parte inferior Today i use barbiturates and wine and slip into my subconscious Today i use barbiturates and wine and slip into my subconscious Hoje eu uso barbitúricos e vinho e escorregar em meu subconsciente And try to dream up some scheme i can live for And try to dream up some scheme i can live for E tentar sonhar com algum esquema que eu possa viver 'cause as the rain keeps falling inside my head as i lay drowning 'cause as the rain keeps falling inside my head as i lay drowning Porque como a chuva continua caindo dentro da minha cabeça enquanto eu estava afogando With nothing left to live for, there's no ideal With nothing left to live for, there's no ideal Sem nada para viver, não há ideal The sediment begins to settle in an hour glass as i begin to count down The sediment begins to settle in an hour glass as i begin to count down O sedimento começa a se estabelecer em uma ampulheta como eu começar a contagem regressiva Until i shed my skin. Until i shed my skin. Até que eu derramar minha pele.
