Текст Jethro Tull – Tundra
Текст:
Short Arctic desert day —
and someone left their snow-shoes in the tundra.
Look around every which way
but I can’t see just where the footprints go.
Plucked from the middle atmosphere
like straw wind-blown.
No speck on the horizon —
no simple message scrawled
upon the snow.
Unearthly visitation —
someone left their snow-shoes in the tundra.
Hungry buzzard flier
circling round and round
rattling death’s tambourine.
Have to run it down the cold wire —
late insertion in tomorrow’s lost and found.
Should I spread out searching?
But I’m a little thin upon the ground.
So I raise my lips to coax
the last drop of brandy from the bottle.
Rest my feet and contemplate
the mystery that’s haunting
this Siberian space.
Show-shoes they bind me down —
I’m just one more parasite of the surface layer.
I begin to get the feeling
I’ve been on this stage before
and I’m the only player.
One more Arctic desert day —
I make my fade to white-out
and you can’t see me where my footprints go.
