The Drug of Time (Время-Наркотик)

Once again the dark blue evening’s peeking into my window.

I was hoping that you’d meet me, but I drink my wine alone.

And the moon looks in with pity, to our date you did not show.

Maybe you had just forgotten or just did not want to go.

 

REFRAIN:

The roof is an umbrella, stars are like candles,

Time is a drug, and the wine helps.

Darts go into milk, my life is out of line,

But it cures me still, the drug of time.

The drug of time…

 

You were gorgeous, but whatever. That is no reason to cry.

I would drink beer with my friends, but there is no one on the line.

I could even smoke a pack now, but it seems I’m out of lights.

How I want to grab a truck and drive away towards the sunrise!

There’s a pigeon out my window, he is grinning at my plight,

And my TV keeps on saying, “There’s no happiness in life!”

And there’s nobody to ask me, “Why the shadow on your soul?”

It’s just another day, it’s just another fall.

 

REFRAIN

 

Late at night I’ll climb the rooftop, grab a storm cloud, and take off

So that I won’t see and hear anything else about your love.

Maybe it’s all in my nerves, but it’s what’s better for myself

Maybe it is about time to seek some medical help!
