The Heart That Hears Like a Bat
We dine on waterfront fare
But shots rang out in the air
And in between gasps comes the sound
Of young girls crying
For all young love is dying
I got off too soon
And silence fills the room
We could buzz like it was
But can never go back to how we were
There’s no sense in listening to you purr
And I was looking for a lover
And I was looking for a friend
And I was waiting for that special song
That would never end
Played by toys that make music
Of electrical joy
Played for girls that were missing
And girls that were boys
And I was looking at some names
Carved into a tree
I said 'hey that was you'
'Hey that was me'
Hey that was us on the back of the bus
Thinking about anything to pass the time
El corazón que escucha como un murciélago
Cenamos en la orilla del mar
Pero los disparos resonaron en el aire
Y entre los sollozos se escucha
El llanto de jóvenes chicas
Porque todo joven amor está muriendo
Me bajé demasiado pronto
Y el silencio llena la habitación
Podríamos zumbarnos como si fuera
Pero nunca podemos volver a ser como éramos
No tiene sentido escucharte ronronear
Y yo buscaba un amante
Y yo buscaba un amigo
Y yo esperaba esa canción especial
Que nunca terminaría
Tocada por juguetes que hacen música
De alegría eléctrica
Tocada para chicas que estaban perdidas
Y chicas que eran chicos
Y yo estaba mirando algunos nombres
Carvados en un árbol
Dije 'hey, ese eras tú'
'Hey, ese era yo'
Hey, éramos nosotros en la parte de atrás del autobús
Pensando en cualquier cosa para pasar el tiempo
