[Куплет 1]
Мне сегодня прольётся
Белой кошке в оконце
Лучик бисера пыли…
Доброе утро
Мне сегодня воздастся
Три ступеньки от царства
Три подковки от Сивки
Три копытца от братца…

[Предприпев]
Три попытки вернуться
Две попытки остаться…

[Припев]
С вечера полнолунно
Вокзал немноголюдный
Прощай, мое детство
А с утра безголово
От короткого слова
На стекле электрички

[Куплет 2]
Мне по ранней дорожке
До беззубой старушки
Пауки в паутинке
Шолом-Алейхем
Преисполнена грации
С бересты колесница
Я не Синяя Птица
В три погибели гнуться…

[Предприпев]
Я хочу улыбаться
Чтобы не разминуться…

[Припев]
И что сегодня Джа даст нам
Станет горьким лекарством
С песней по жизни
И чего мне стрематься
Белой кошке в окрошке
Парус надежды…

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
