Pere Ubu - Race the Sun [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I don't know what you're waiting for - Mary is out the door
Why would I lie? Why would I lie?
Through the dust and the fading light shall I tell you what I spy?

Mississippi-Southern owns the train but I know it's got another name
Why would I lie? Why would I lie?
It's a race to the edge of the night
Hmmm, Great Sorrow's got you in its lights

Run, run! Try to catch the sun
Don't be slack - Great Sorrow is on the tracks
Run, run! Try to catch the sun
Don't look back - Great Sorrow is on the track

I don't know what you're waiting for - Mary is out the door
Why would I lie? Why would I lie?
When it calls from the edge of the night shall I tell you what I spy?
Run, run! Try to catch the sun
Don't be slack - Great Sorrow is on the track
Run, run! Try to catch the sun
Don't look back - Great Sorrow is on your track
I don't know what you call that train - Gone, buddy, that's the name
Gone
Gone
Gone
