Regina Spektor - A Lesson In How Fleeting Preservation Is - Текст песни

Ahhh

Too much time spent
Trying to crawl into a hole
And trying to crawl out of that hole

I followed a path of a piece of bread traveling
From one little sparrow's beak
To another little sparrow's beak

He picked it up, threw it, and then dropped it
And then the other one picked it up and threw it again
Then they broke it into pieces
Ate it up and forgot it ever existed

But they were still hungry at the end
They were still hungry at the end

I was inside my office at the time
And I got real scared
Thought I saw two snakes slithering
Then I remembered, snakes don't live in carpeted areas

Too much tiiiiiiiime spent
And I'm spent

There is an old meatball wrapped inside of tinfoil
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lying on the bottom shelf of our fridge
A lesson in how fleeting preservation is
