Lost In Translation

Close your eyes, rest awhile
Let the noise of life surround you
Friends in the front room, stereo
Heat your heart beat, beat, beat
You read some book of knowledge for your own information
There must be...there must be something lost in translation

Looking up words, checking the dictionary
Isn't anything clear?
Is nothing cut and dried?
Double meanings everywhere
Will someone please stand apart from the crowd?

Stop your staring; nothing's there, just the dresser drawers and mirror
Dust on the old clock-radio
Watch the time tick, tick, tick
You read some book of knowledge for your own information
There must be...there must be something lost in translation
