Close your eyes, rest awhile,
Let the noise of life surround you,
Friends in the front room, stereo,
Heat your heart beat, beat, beat,
You read some book of knowledge for your own information,
There must be...there must be something lost in translation.
Looking up words, checking the dictionary,
Isn't anything clear?
Is nothing cut and dried?
Double meanings everywhere,
Will someone please stand apart from the crowd?
Stop your staring; nothing's there, just the dresser drawers and mirror,
Dust on the old clock-radio,
Watch the time tick, tick, tick,
You read some book of knowledge for your own information,
There must be...there must be something lost in translation.
