Lyrics & Translation
English
Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness
Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end
How long before I had your trust again?
I opened up the doors when it was cold outside
Hoping that you'd find your own way in
But how can I protect you, or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give?
Yeah, I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all
But, oh, the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is
Well, I guess it never is, it's these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood to the heart of the biz
You know, I never thought that it could take so long
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me, but I feel as though you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my song
So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems, somehow, I've found the will to live
But how can I forget you, or try not to reject you
When we both know it takes time to forgive? Yeah, yeah
Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago
You know I'd like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me "No"
You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet
Who'd love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide
'Cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby's got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no
Gonna have some fun with my frustration
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour 'cause this road ain't getting clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
"Better tame that boy, 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy 'fore he's a man"
Sweetheart, don't make me laugh, you's getting too big for your pants
And I think maybe you should cut out while you can
You can use your illusion, let it take you where it may
We live and learn, and then, sometimes, it's best to walk away
Me, I'm just here hanging on, it's my only place to stay
At least for now, anyway
I've worked too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away
I'm taking time for quiet consolation
In passing by this love that's passed away
I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say?
Callin' off the dogs, a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes and turn the page?
Kindness is a treasure and it's one, towards me, you've seldom shown
So, I'll say it, for good measure, to all the ones like you, I've known
Ya know I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red
'Cause love to me is a two-way street, an' all I really want is peace
But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no
Affection is a blessing, can you find it in your sordid heart?
I tried to keep this thing together but the tremor tore my pad apart
Yeah, I know, it's hard to face when all we've worked for's gone to waste
But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man
But love, like time, 's got its own plans
But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track
My baby got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back
I know it looks like I'm insane
Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no
Yeah, if love is blind, I guess I'll buy myself a cane
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange
Love's so strange

Locomotive (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Voy a encontrar una forma de curar esta soledad
Sí, encontraré una forma de curar el dolor
Si dije que eres mi amigo y nuestro amor nunca terminaría
¿Cuánto tiempo antes de que volviera a tener tu confianza?
Abrí las puertas cuando hacía frío afuera
Esperando que encontraras tu propio camino para entrar
Pero ¿cómo puedo protegerte, o intentar no descuidarte
Cuando no aceptas el amor que tengo para dar?
Sí, me compré una ilusión y la puse en la pared
Dejé que llenara mi cabeza de sueños y tenía que tenerlos todos
Pero, oh, el sabor nunca es tan dulce como creerías que es
Bueno, supongo que nunca lo es, son estas ilusiones prejuiciosas
Que bombean la sangre al corazón del negocio
Sabes, nunca pensé que podría tomar tanto tiempo
Sabes que nunca supe cómo ser fuerte
Sí, te dejé moldearme, pero siento como si me hubieras violado
Porque te metiste en mi mundo y en mi canción
Así que ahora he cerrado la puerta para mantener el frío afuera
Parece que, de alguna manera, he encontrado la voluntad de vivir
Pero ¿cómo puedo olvidarte, o intentar no rechazarte
Cuando ambos sabemos que lleva tiempo perdonar? Sí, sí
La dulzura es una virtud y perdiste tu virtud hace mucho tiempo
Sabes que me gustaría lastimarte pero mi conciencia siempre me dice "No"
Podrías vender tu cuerpo en la calle a cualquiera que pudieras conocer
A quien le encantaría intentar entrar y destrozar tu inocencia
Porque mi nena tiene una locomotora, mi nena se ha salido de la vía
Mi nena tiene una locomotora, tengo que quitarme a la perra de encima
Sé que parece que estoy loco
Mira más de cerca, no tengo la culpa, no
Voy a divertirme con mi frustración
Voy a ver la pantalla grande en mi cabeza
Preferiría tomar un desvío porque este camino no se está aclarando
Tu tren de pensamiento me ha cortado de nuevo
"Mejor doma a ese chico, porque es salvaje
Mejor doma a ese chico antes de que sea un hombre"
Cariño, no me hagas reír, te estás volviendo demasiado grande para tus pantalones
Y creo que quizás deberías irte mientras puedas
Puedes usar tu ilusión, dejar que te lleve a donde sea
Vivimos y aprendemos, y luego, a veces, es mejor alejarse
Yo, solo estoy aquí aguantando, es mi único lugar para quedarme
Al menos por ahora, de todos modos
He trabajado demasiado duro por mis ilusiones como para tirarlas todas
Me estoy tomando un tiempo para una tranquila consolación
Al pasar por este amor que ha fallecido
Sé que nunca es fácil, así que ¿por qué deberías creerme
Cuando siempre tengo tantas cosas que decir?
Retirando a los perros, se toma una decisión simple
Porque los corazones juguetones a veces pueden enfurecerse
Sabes que intenté despertarte, quiero decir, ¿cuánto tiempo te podría tomar
Abrir los ojos y pasar la página?
La amabilidad es un tesoro y es uno que, hacia mí, rara vez has mostrado
Así que, lo diré, para que quede claro, a todos los que son como tú, que he conocido
Sabes que me gustaría afeitarte la cabeza y que todos mis amigos la pintaran de rojo
Porque el amor para mí es una calle de doble sentido, y todo lo que realmente quiero es paz
Pero mi nena tiene una locomotora, mi nena se ha salido de la vía
Mi nena tiene una locomotora, tengo que quitarme a la perra de encima
Sé que parece que estoy loco
Mira más de cerca, no tengo la culpa, no
El afecto es una bendición, ¿puedes encontrarlo en tu sórdido corazón?
Intenté mantener esto unido pero el temblor destrozó mi almohadilla
Sí, lo sé, es difícil de afrontar cuando todo por lo que hemos trabajado se ha ido al traste
Pero eres una mujer tan estúpida y yo soy un hombre tan estúpido
Pero el amor, como el tiempo, tiene sus propios planes
Pero mi nena tiene una locomotora, mi nena se ha salido de la vía
Mi nena tiene una locomotora, tengo que quitarme a la perra de encima
Sé que parece que estoy loco
Mira más de cerca, no tengo la culpa, no
Sí, si el amor es ciego, supongo que me compraré un bastón
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
El amor es tan extraño
