Hot Rock — текст песни (Sleater-Kinney)

I`m onto you
before the night is through
I`m going to steal this diamong
hot rock to you

how am I to know what you want me to feel?
counterfeit or real?
I`m not the one you wanted
not the thing you keep

It`s a caper theme, there`s a getaway car
A diamond to steal, a plan that might go wrong
If this is a set up, please let me know
I can`t risk my life for a guilded stone
(I thought all along this was everything
Try not to look to hard to find that it`s not real
I knew all along you weren`t everything
Then in the darkest hour I watched you disappear)

It`s a crafty scene, full of power and greed
You tell me not to steal, yet you still want a thief
You write out the plans, I carry out the act
But then I lose it all if I can`t bring it back
(How was I to know this rock was so fragile
It cracked in my hands while I was holding on
An uncut stone is flawed and beautiful
Don`t try to size me down to fit your tiny hands)

It`s not real
You don`t need to tell me
that it`s not real

I`m onto you
before the night is through
I`m going to steal my heart back
and find a love that`s true
hot rock to you
