Terrible Thing
Brandon Flowers
The parking lot is rammed with shotgun pickup trucks
At the Jones' Rubber plant where all the guys end up
Beer-drinking boy scouts living life like they ain't stuck
On these quicksand streets with their girls in a sling
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
'Round here, we all take up our cross and hang on His holy name
But the cards that I was dealt will get you thrown out of the game
Hey momma, can't you see your boy is wrapped up in the strangle silk
Of this cobweb town where culture is king?
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
I close my eyes and think of the water
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
Down at Old Mill Park, half the town's in tow
To crown the Bathing Beauty of the rodeo
While her mother fights back proud tears, a young cowboy gives the nod
The chute opens, bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God
The chute opens, the bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God
In this barbed wire town of barbed wire dreams
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
I close my eyes and think of the water
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
I close my eyes and think of the water
Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
The parking lot is rammed with shotgun pickup trucks
O estacionamento está lotado de caminhonetes com espingardas
At the Jones' Rubber plant where all the guys end up
Na fábrica de borracha dos Jones, onde todos os caras acabam
Beer-drinking boy scouts living life like they ain't stuck
Escoteiros bebendo cerveja, vivendo a vida como se não estivessem presos
On these quicksand streets with their girls in a sling
Nestas ruas movediças com suas garotas em uma tipóia
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
Estou no meu quarto à beira de uma coisa terrível
'Round here, we all take up our cross and hang on His holy name
Por aqui, todos nós pegamos nossa cruz e nos apegamos ao Seu santo nome
But the cards that I was dealt will get you thrown out of the game
Mas as cartas que me foram dadas te tirariam do jogo
Hey momma, can't you see your boy is wrapped up in the strangle silk
Ei mãe, você não vê que seu garoto está envolvido na seda estranguladora
Of this cobweb town where culture is king?
Desta cidade de teias de aranha onde a cultura é rei?
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
Estou no meu quarto à beira de uma coisa terrível
I close my eyes and think of the water

Down at Old Mill Park, half the town's in tow
No Parque Old Mill, metade da cidade está a reboque
To crown the Bathing Beauty of the rodeo
Para coroar a Beleza do Banho do rodeio
While her mother fights back proud tears, a young cowboy gives the nod
Enquanto sua mãe segura as lágrimas de orgulho, um jovem cowboy acena com a cabeça
The chute opens, bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God
A comporta se abre, o touro tira sangue, e o presente é aceito por Deus
