Текст Parquet Courts – Berlin Got Blurry
Текст:
Döner wrapper done right, an extinguished
Crotch of a rollie inside yellow fingers
Nothing lasts but nearly everything lingers in life
Cellphone service is not that expensive
It feels so effortless to be a stranger
But feeling foreign is such a lonely habit
You can’t crop yourself out of a picture
You’re out of focus but still framed inside
Well Berlin got blurry
And my heart started hurting for you
Loud mouth living got you some attention
And second chances given without doubt
‘Guess you’ve got a history but it’s not worth a mention tonight
Kind ears captive to the beers you’ve purchased
Sipping through scenes of plastered confession
Telling pretty stories, is it your sole purpose?
Telling everybody that you learned your lesson
But no one’s falling for that nice guy bullshit
They waited years, you can wait one night
Well Berlin got blurry
When my eyes started telling it to
Funny how it charms you, that Teutonic frankness
Listen and it arms you with a new type of patience
Maybe it alarms you because it tastes so familiar and wild
French fries, hot dog, ketchup, main ingredients
Swears in flawless English it’s the best in town
Funny how a sameness can not be distinguished
Strangeness is relieving when you point it out
But email poems slogans an example
Well Berlin got blurry
As my thoughts all hurried to you
