That's It for the Other One: Cryptical Envelopment / Quadlibet for Tender Feet / The Faster We Go, the Rounder We Get / We Leave the Castle (originale)

The other day they waited
The sky was dark and faded
Solemnly they stated
«He has to die
You know he has to die»
And all the children learning
From books that they were burning
Every leaf was turning
To watch him die
You know he has to die
The summer sun looked down on him
His mother could but frown on him
And all the other sound on him
But it doesn’t seem to matter
And when the day had ended
With rainbow colors blended
His mind remained unbended
He had to die
You know he had to die
Spanish lady come to me
She lays on me this rose
It rainbow spirals round and round
It trembles and explodes
It left a smoking crater of my mind
I like to blow away
But the heat came ‘round and busted me
For smiling on a cloudy day
Coming, coming, coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Coming (coming), coming (coming), coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Escaping through the lily fields
I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded
Left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on
That’s when it all began
There was cowboy Neal at the wheel
Of a bus to never-ever land
Coming, coming, coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
Coming (coming), coming (coming), coming around (coming around)
Coming around in a circle (coming around)
And when the day had ended
With rainbow colors blended
His mind remained unbended
He had to die
You know he had to die
He had to die
You know he had to die
He had to die
Well, you know he had to die

(traduzione)

L'altro giorno hanno aspettato
Il cielo era scuro e sbiadito
Solennemente affermarono
«Deve morire
Sai che deve morire»
E tutti i bambini imparano
Dai libri che stavano bruciando
Ogni foglia stava girando
Per guardarlo morire
Sai che deve morire
Il sole estivo lo guardava
Sua madre non poteva che disapprovarlo
E tutti gli altri suoni su di lui
Ma sembra non importa
E quando la giornata era finita
Con i colori dell'arcobaleno sfumati
La sua mente rimase imperturbabile
Doveva morire
Sai che doveva morire
Signora spagnola vieni da me
Mette su di me questa rosa
L'arcobaleno gira a spirale
Trema ed esplode
Ha lasciato un cratere fumante della mia mente
Mi piace spazzare via
Ma il caldo è arrivato e mi ha beccato
Per sorridere in una giornata nuvolosa
In arrivo, in arrivo, in arrivo (in arrivo)
In giro in un cerchio (in giro)
In arrivo (in arrivo), in arrivo (in arrivo), in arrivo (in arrivo)
In giro in un cerchio (in giro)
Fuga attraverso i campi di gigli
Mi sono imbattuto in uno spazio vuoto
Tremò ed esplose
Ha lasciato una fermata dell'autobus al suo posto
L'autobus è passato e io sono salito
Fu allora che tutto ebbe inizio
C'era il cowboy Neal al volante
Di un autobus per non atterrare mai
In arrivo, in arrivo, in arrivo (in arrivo)
In giro in un cerchio (in giro)
In arrivo (in arrivo), in arrivo (in arrivo), in arrivo (in arrivo)
In giro in un cerchio (in giro)
E quando la giornata era finita
Con i colori dell'arcobaleno sfumati
La sua mente rimase imperturbabile
Doveva morire
Sai che doveva morire
Doveva morire
Sai che doveva morire
Doveva morire
Beh, sai che doveva morire
