Stuck Between Stations

Preso entre as Estações

Stuck Between Stations

Há noites em que eu acho que Sal Paradise estava certo
There are nights when I think Sal Paradise was right
Garotos e garotas americanos passam tempos tristes juntos
Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together

Se chupando durante as demonstrações
Sucking off each other at the demonstrations
Se certificando que a maquiagem está OK
Making sure their make-up's straight
Esmagando uns aos outros com expectativas colossais
Crushing one another with colossal expectations
Dependentes, indisciplinados e dormindo tarde
Dependent, undisciplined, and sleeping late

Ela beijava muito bem e não era uma cristã muito rígida
She was a really cool kisser and she wasn't all that strict of a Christian
Ela dançava bem pra caralho, mas não era lá a melhor das namoradas
She was a damn good dancer but she wasn't all that great of a girlfriend
Ele gosta da sensação de calor mas está cansado dessa desidratação
He likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration
Geralmente as noites são bem claras, mas essa noite, é como se estivesse presa entre as estações
Most nights are crystal clear but tonight it's like it's stuck between stations
Do rádio
On the radio

O diabo e John Berryman saíram pra andar juntos
The devil and John Berryman took a walk together
Eles acabaram em Washington, falando com o rio
They ended up on Washington, talking to the river
Ele disse, eu me cerquei de doutores e pensadores
He said, I've surrounded myself with doctors and deep thinkers
Mas cabeças grandes e corpos flácidos dão péssimos amantes
But big heads with soft bodies make for lousy lovers

E daí teve aquela noite que a gente achou que John Berryman podia voar
There was that night that we thought John Berryman could fly
Mas ele não podia, então morreu
But he didn't, so he died
Ela disse, você é muito bom com palavras, mas palavras não podem salvar a sua vida
She said, you're pretty good with words but words won't save your life
E elas não salvaram, então ele morreu
And they didn't, so he died

E ele estava bêbado e exausto mas era respeitado e aclamado pela crítica
And he was drunk and exhausted but he was critically acclaimed and respected
Ele adorava os Golden Gophers, mas odiava os invernos longos
He loved the Golden Gophers but he hated all the drawn-out winters
Ele gosta da sensação de calor, mas está cansado dessa desidratação
He likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration
Geralmente as noites eram confusas, mas aquela última noite ele lembra por inteiro
Most nights were kind of fuzzy but that last night he had total retention

Esses beijos das Cidades Gêmeas
These Twin Cities kisses
Soam como cliques e assobios
They sound like clicks and hisses
A gente desceu e se afogou no Rio Mississippi
We all tumbled down and drowned in the Mississippi River

A gente bebe e a gente seca e agora a gente vira pó
We drink and we dry up and now we crumble into dust
A gente se molha e se corrói e agora estamos cobertos de ferrugem
We get wet and we corrode and now we're covered up in rust
A gente bebe e a gente seca e agora a gente vira pó
We drink and we dry up and now we crumble into dust
A gente se molha e se corrói e agora estamos cobertos de ferrugem
We get wet and we corrode and now we're covered up in rust
