[English]

I can't take them on my own, my own

Pa, I'm not the one you know, you know

I have killed a man and all I know

Is I am on the run and go

Don't wanna call you in the nighttime

Don't wanna give you all my pieces

Don't wanna hand you all my trouble

Don't wanna give you all my demons

You'll have to watch me struggle

From several rooms away

But tonight I'll need you to stay

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do

I am up against the wall, the wall

Pa, I hear them coming down the hall

I have killed a man and all I know

Is I am on the run and go

Don't wanna call you in the nighttime

Don't wanna give you all my pieces

Don't wanna hand you all my trouble

Don't wanna give you all my demons

You'll have to watch me struggle

From several rooms away

But tonight I'll need you to stay

...

Cold nights under siege from accusations

Cerebral thunder in one-way conversations

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

...

Don't wanna call you in the nighttime

Don't wanna give you all my pieces

Don't wanna hand you all my trouble

Don't wanna give you all my demons

You'll have to watch me struggle

From several rooms away

But tonight I'll need you to stay

Tonight, I'll need you to stay

Tonight, I'll need you to stay

Tonight, I'll need you to stay

Tonight, I'll need you to stay

...
