Текст The Flaming Lips — 7 Skies H3 (Can’t Shut Off My Head)

And now though you’re not here, can still feel your hands

And now though you’re not here, I can smell your hair

Now though you’re not here, I can see your eyes

And now though you’re not here, I can taste the spit

That shines on your lips

That you’re licking, the first time we kissed

All this thinking, I can’t shut off my head

 

And now, and now I think about the insects

And now I think about the worms

And now, and now I think about the dirt

And now I think about the hurt

That you never showed, on the outside

A screen what controls the pain in the night skies

And I can’t shut off my head

 

And now that you’re not here, I’m frightened of the sunset

It’s a silent explosion, happening at the end of the world

Everything pulls itself toward the end

And every cloud makes a shape

Resembling your face

I always see your face, don’t need to remember

Can always see your face, now I surrender

‘Cause I can’t shut off my head

 

And now when I look up at the stars, I don’t really see the stars

All I see is the dark

And now I see how everything turns dark

And the light only lasts for a little while

We’re all light, that’s going somewhere

I can still see the light

That shines through your hair

‘Cause I can’t shut off my head

 

And now that you’re not here, I keep seeing a ghost

Everyone I see disappears

Everywhere I go, I see your ghost

Everywhere, I see your face in the crowd

The things we can’t see, we just keep looking

The things that die, somehow just keep living

‘Cause I can’t shut off my head

 

Now does this sound a sound

And now does a hum just hum

And now there’s electric raindrops

That fills up this little paper cup

That flows on from now, until forever

Searching for why, there’s a god in Heaven

‘Cause I can’t shut off my head

 

And now that you’re not here, a second is forever

Now a minute, is not a minute

And now an hour’s not an hour

And now my power, has no power

‘Cause time just destroys, bells keep ringing

Leaves from the trees, keep falling and spinning

And I can’t shut off my head

 

And now there’s a way, shadows move

Sometimes the sun imitates the moon

The waves, the waves of dark move in the afternoon

Evening sky overcomes you

So fixed to the dawn, a new day is breaking

But I shut my eyes, the moon is waiting

‘Cause I can’t shut off my head
