How We Quit The Forest — текст песни (Rasputina)

The ostrich and the egret
Had a very fine flat to let.
Figurine hutch, no the place wasn`t much, but they
Got a peacock.

His belongings were meager but,
He was pretty, would bring good luck.
They would sing songs all aroung the piano and
Do the cakewalk.

He would say what he`s gonna do.
He would say what he wanted to.
Ostrich and egret were filled with regret, but the
Rent`s well worth him.

He felt things that they`d never felt.
Like the slap of a feather belt.
So till they sat by the fireplace silent.
A chill ran through them.

Ostrich and egret and peacock had very small dreams.
Picturing them just reminded them of calendar scenes.
Nobody`s laughing when everyone`s weeping, it seems.

So that`s how we quit the forest.
The scene wasn`t what it used to be.
The scene is never what it used to be.
So, that`s how we quit the forest.

The scene wasn`t what it used to be.
The scene is never what it used to be.
So, that`s how we quit the forest.
