Текст песни Before You Were Born - That Handsome Devil

If damnation is eternal
Then you are in it now
The meal of the day
Watching reflections in the window of the train
Dwindling away
The face of an angel plunging toward earth
A pack of gum and a gun in her purse

You're becoming some monster, impostor, or just like your father
She only drinks vodka, reading her Kafka, repeating the mantra

If damnation is eternal
Then you are in it now
Breathing in and out
If damnation is eternal
Then you are in it now
Going nowhere, spinning 'round

Fix my shirt, straighten my tie
Pretend that I'm not breaking inside
Fix my shirt, straighten my tie
We will not be taken alive

If they didn't name the days
It would all just stay the same
Day to day until it all just fades away
If they didn't name the days
It would all just stay the same
Day to day until we all just fade away

If they didn't name the days
It would all just stay the same
Day to day until it all just fades away
If they didn't name the days
It would all just stay the same
Day to day until we all just fade away

If damnation is eternal
Then you are in it now
Breathing in and out
Going nowhere, spinning 'round

It's torturous, of course it is
Time has run its course on us
Before you were born, I was dying
It's torturous, of course it is
Time has run its course on us
Before you were born, I was dying

If damnation is eternal
Then you are in it now
Breathing in and out
If damnation is eternal
Then you are in it now
Going nowhere, spinning 'round
Fix my shirt, straighten my tie
Pretend that I'm not breaking inside
Fix my shirt, straighten my tie
We will not be taken alive

If they didn't name the days
It would all just stay the same
Day to day until it all just fades away
If they didn't name the days
It would all just stay the same
Day to day until we all just fade away

If they didn't name the days
It would all just stay the same
Day to day until it all just fades away
If they didn't name the days
It would all just stay the same
Day to day until we all just fade away

Before you were born, I was dying
(Before you were born, I was dying)
Before you were born, I was dying
(Before you were born, I was dying)

Before you were born, I was dying
(Before you were born, I was dying)
Before you were born, I was dying
(Before you were born, I was dying)
Before you were born, I was dying
(Before you were born, I was dying)
Before you were born, I was dying
