8th Floor Lyrics

No one waits for her inside the house
She spots a stranger in the mirror
And the record spins her nearer
To the outcome of her day
You live inside the city
You forget how tall the trees can get
A bird sits on
A branch across
From my eighth floor window

And you can't really say
That it's an eighth floor branch
'Cause trees don't have floors
And buildings do

Восьмой этаж
Восьмой этаж
Все высоко
Все под тобой

Вот идет домой
Карман пустой
Хоть милостыню просите
Три рубля на водку и буханку белого хлеба

А теперь, наверное, все дороже
И дорожки те забыты
А над ними паруса

Первый этаж
Я маленькая
Все высоко
Все надо мной

Восьмой этаж
Америка
Я высоко
Все подо мной
Я высоко...
I came in from the rain which
Wasn't really rain
It was just
January snow in denial
And something must have gotten lost
In the translation
Russian to English
And winter wasn't wintery today

She comes into the house
And no one waits for her inside the house
She spots a stranger in the mirror
And the record spins her nearer
To the outcome of her day
You live inside the city
You forget how tall the trees can get
A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
A bird sits on a branch of my eighth floor window
[Translation]

The eighth floor
The eighth floor
Everything's high
Everything is above me

Somebody is coming home
Pocket is empty
You could go begging
It's three rubles for vodka and a loaf of white bread

But now, for certain, everything's more expensive
And the old paths are forgotten
Above them we set sail

The first floor
I'm really small
Everything's high
Everything is above me

The eighth floor
America
I am high
Everything is below me
I am high...
