As Cities Burn - Petty [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Is this it at the top?
I didn't know there was not a ceiling
Or that the air up here was so thin
I just want my wanting to stop
I know you warned us of drought
We didn't believe it
Now we can't stop water from freezing

[Chorus 1]
You are just in time to move aside
No one ever comes here stays for long
You're gonna be dethroned
You're gonna shed your pride
Overgrown

[Verse 2]
There's a kid on the cover
And I know that he doesn't believe
In the misery he sings
Yeah it's just what he thinks he needs

[Chorus 2]
If all the world's a stage then it's not mine
Cause no eye ever stays on you for long
You're gonna be dethroned
You're gonna shed your pride
It keeps growing

[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 3]
If all the world's a stage then it's not mine
Cause no eye ever stays on you for long
Yeah you're gonna be dethroned
You're gonna shed your pride
Overgrown
