They Might Be Giants - Authenticity Trip текст песни

Yeah!
I’m losin' my English accent
Think of all the changes you put me through, girl
Back against the pit boss again
And now I’m fencin' with him
With just a fountain pen
See I’m dead as a dog
On these one-night stands
And now I’m in these classes
Just to be your man
I just wanted my big toe
In the soft, soft sand
Now I’m neck deep in the quick, quick
So tell me are you ready
For the bitter truth?
Authenticity Trip
Yes, 200-proof
But I keep it in the cupboard
By your baby tooth
That your mom saved
I think your mom is nice
So tonight we’re takin' a jet-plane 'round
To somebody’s house
Out in the Hollywood Hills
I said the Hollywood Hills
Like I’ve been there before
But I haven’t in a while
Or really at all
Go!
Someday I’ll win
I’m not Ichabod Crane
And though dark my days
I’ll say until then
Someday I’ll win
I’m not Ichabod Crane
So mark it down
While I say it again
I’m stuck here
In Bubble’s of Teaneck
Since you kicked me out
It just seems like a good place to be
Gonna get my head straight again
With some guys with some time
And some clothes that get cleaned
We’re dancin' in the window
Like we like to dance
Get a full head of steam
In our waggled-up stance
Cause tonight Sleepy Hollow’s
Just a few miles away
With dramatic re-enactments
And an overnight stay
Go!
Someday I’ll win
I’m not Ichabod Crane
And though dark my days
I’ll say until then
Someday I’ll win
I’m not Ichabod Crane
So mark it down
While I say it again
Someday I’ll win
I’m not Ichabod Crane
And though dark my days
I’ll say until then
Someday I’ll win
I’m not Ichabod Crane
So mark it down
While I say it again

Перевод песни "Authenticity Trip"

Losing my English accent
Remember all the changes you made in me, girl
Fighting the casino director again
And now I'm fighting him
With just a pen
Look, I'm like a dead dog
On these disposable connections
And now I'm in these classes
Just to be your man
I just wanted my big toe
In the soft, soft sand
Now I'm up to my neck in fast, fast
So tell me, are you ready
To accept the bitter truth?
A journey through authenticity
Yes, 100 percent
But I keep it in the closet
Next to your baby tooth
You know, your mom keeps it
I think your mom is a good person
So today we're flying on a plane
To someone's house
In the Hollywood Hills
I said, in the Hollywood Hills
Like I've been there before
But I haven't really been
Or barely been
Come on!
Someday I'll win
I'm not Ichabod Crane
And though my days are dark
I'll say until
Someday I'll win
I'm not Ichabod Crane
So write this down
While I'm talking again
I'm stuck here
In Tineke's bubbles
Ever since you threw me out
It just seems like a good place to be
Getting my head back in order again
With the guys and the time
And the clothes that fade
We're dancing in the window
Like we love to dance
Getting full steam
In our shaky stand
Because today the Flying Dutchman
Is just a few miles away
With dramatic reconstructions
And overnight stays
Come on!
Someday I'll win
I'm not Ichabod Crane
And though my days are dark
I'll say until
Someday I'll win
I'm not Ichabod Crane
So write this down
While I'm talking again
Someday I'll win
I'm not Ichabod Crane
And though my days are dark
I'll say until
Someday I'll win
I'm not Ichabod Crane
So write this down
While I'm talking again
