Xmas Drags by Futurebirds
Lyrics & Translation
English
With a mind all twisted up
And an appearance mostly undone
I drove out to your party
With those Christmas Drags full on
Maybe I'll get to explain again
A life they just won't ever get
And they can float their quiet judgements
On those thin smiles of regret
Nodding into my drink in a slowly numbing hand
My thoughts are far, they're in some shiddy bar
I see a stage without a band
That PA hum, it's a siren song
Yea, that feedback is calling up
Somebody's gotta break that stage in two
Why shouldn't it be us?
It just might be we get to live another round
Maybe this all ain't building up
To some hole dug in the ground
Maybe a next life they'll wire me right
And I can keep it on the path
And maybe we're only living on
In digital photographs
Stuffing clothes in my bag
You look good laid across the bed
But you're talking fancy restaurants
And galvanized 5-year plans
I know you need a TV and a washing machine
But girl you got to realize
You're ain't the only one with dreams
It just might be we get to live another round
Maybe this all ain't building up
To some hole dug in the ground
Maybe a next life they'll wire me right
And I can keep it on the path
And maybe we're only living on
In digital photographs
We're only victims of wild desire
In some endless heart attack
And maybe the light we've seen as gone
It just keeps on coming back
But maybe we're only seeing the spaces
Of digital photographs

Xmas Drags (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Con la mente toda retorcida
Y una apariencia casi deshecha
Conduje hasta tu fiesta
Con esos arrastres navideños a tope
Quizás tenga que explicar de nuevo
Una vida que ellos nunca entenderán
Y pueden flotar sus juicios silenciosos
Sobre esas finas sonrisas de arrepentimiento
Asintiendo en mi bebida con una mano que se adormece lentamente
Mis pensamientos están lejos, están en algún bar cutre
Veo un escenario sin banda
Ese zumbido del PA, es una canción de sirena
Sí, esa retroalimentación está llamando
Alguien tiene que romper ese escenario en dos
¿Por qué no deberíamos ser nosotros?
Podría ser que vivamos otra ronda
Quizás todo esto no se esté construyendo
Para algún agujero cavado en el suelo
Quizás en una próxima vida me conecten bien
Y pueda mantenerme en el camino
Y quizás solo estemos viviendo
En fotografías digitales
Metí ropa en mi bolso
Te ves bien tendida en la cama
Pero hablas de restaurantes elegantes
Y planes quinquenales galvanizados
Sé que necesitas un televisor y una lavadora
Pero chica, tienes que darte cuenta
No eres la única con sueños
Podría ser que vivamos otra ronda
Quizás todo esto no se esté construyendo
Para algún agujero cavado en el suelo
Quizás en una próxima vida me conecten bien
Y pueda mantenerme en el camino
Y quizás solo estemos viviendo
En fotografías digitales
Solo somos víctimas de un deseo salvaje
En algún ataque al corazón sin fin
Y quizás la luz que hemos visto desaparecer
Simplemente sigue regresando
Pero quizás solo estamos viendo los espacios
De fotografías digitales
