Shadow Of The Day

I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.

And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.

And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

[Guitar solo]

And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

Little boxes

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,1
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.

And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Τατουάζ

Έχω χαράξει στο πλευρό μου

Ένα άγριο δράκο που γελάει
Κάτω απ’ το πουκάμισό μου
Το χτυποκάρδι μου φυλάει
Του έχω δώσει τ’ όνομά σου
Μια και με πόνεσε πολύ
Τον στέλνω μέσα στα όνειρά σου
Να μένει ως την ανατολή

Να σε παίρνει
Να σε φέρνει
Να σ’ αφήνει
Να σε σβήνει

Έχω ένα δράκο στο κορμί μου
Τον λεν αγάπη και φωτιά
Που παίζει με τη δύναμή μου
Όταν με παίρνεις αγκαλιά
Έχω ένα τατουάζ κι εσένα
Να με χαράζεις να πονώ
Τώρα δε φεύγεις από μένα
Γιατί έχω ένα δράκο εγώ

Να σε παίρνει
Να σε φέρνει
Να σ’ αφήνει
Να σε σβήνει
Να σε παίρνει
Να σε φέρνει
Να σ’ αφήνει
Να σε σβήνει

Έχω ένα τατουάζ κρυμμένο
Έχω ένα σύμβολο ακριβό
Ένα παράθυρο ανοιγμένο
Να με παίρνει τ’ όνειρο
