TV on the Radio - Dancing Choose [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
He's a what?
He's a what?
He's a newspaper man
And he gets his best ideas
From a newspaper stand
From his boots to his pants
To his comments and his rants
He knows that any little article will do!
Though he expresses some confusion
About his part in the plan
And he can't understand
That he's not in command
The decisions underwritten
By the cash in his hand
Bought a sweater for
His weimaraner, too
Now I'm no mad man
But that's insanity
Feast before famine
And more before family
Goes and shows up with
More bowls and more
Cups and the riot for the
Last hot meal erupts
Corrupts his hard drive
Through the leanest months
Shells out the hard cash
For the sickest stunts
On aftershave, on gasoline
He flips the page and turns
The scene

[Chorus]
In my mind I'm drowning butterflies
Broken dreams and alibis
That's fine
I've seen my palette blown
To monochrome
Hollow heart
Clicks hollow tone
It's time

[Verse 2]
Eye on authority
Thumb prints a forgery
Boy, is it crazy what the
Lights can do
For counterfeit community
Every opportunity
Wasted as the space
Between the flash tattoo
And the half-hearted hologram
Posed for the party
Now he gloss full bleed
On a deaf dumb tree
Cod liver dollar signs
Credit card autograph
Down for the record
But not for freedom
Angry young mannequin
American, apparently
Still to the rhythm
Better get to the back of me
Can't stand the vision
Better tongue the anatomy
Gold plated overhead
Blank transparency
In the days of old
You were a nut
Now you need three bumps
Before you cut
Not that I should care about
Nothing I am not scared of, but
I guess you had to be there

[Chorus]
In my mind I'm breeding butterflies
Broken dreams, and alibis
That's fine
I've seen my palette
Blown to monochrome
Hollow heart
Clicks hollow tone
In time

[Outro]
I see you figured in your action pose
Foam-injected Axl Rose
Life size
Should something shake you
And you drop the news
Lord, just keep your dancing shoes
Off mine
