Crying Lightning

Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix

Said, "You're mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been called "cold" before"
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you had left and it was going to waste

Your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
"Crying Lightning"
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked like yourself from the side
But your profile could not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne

With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache
Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

And your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
"Crying Lightning"
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons

Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are
Crying lightning

And your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
"Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"

Your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
"Crying"

LIRIK TERJEMAHAN

Di luar kafe dekat pabrik kerupuk
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory

Anda sedang berlatih trik sulap
You were practicing a magic trick

Dan pikiranku menjadi kasar, saat kamu berbicara dan mengunyah
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed

Pada pilihan terakhir Anda dan campur
On the last of your pick and mix

Katanya, "Kamu salah kalau mengira aku belum pernah dipanggil "dingin" sebelumnya"
Said, "You're mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been called "cold" before"

Saat Anda menggigit renda stroberi Anda
As you bit into your strawberry lace

Dan kemudian menawarkan saya perhatian Anda dalam bentuk gobstopper
And then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper

Hanya itu yang tersisa dan itu akan sia-sia
Is all you had left and it was going to waste

Hiburan Anda, terdiri dari hal-hal aneh
Your pastimes, consisted of the strange

Dan bengkok dan gila
And twisted and deranged

Dan saya suka permainan kecil yang Anda panggil
And I love that little game you had called

"Menangis Petir"
"Crying Lightning"

Dan betapa Anda ingin membuat tukang es krim kesal di sore hari yang hujan
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons

Kali berikutnya aku menangkap bayanganku sendiri
The next time that I caught my own reflection

Itu sedang dalam perjalanan untuk bertemu denganmu
It was on it's way to meet you

Memikirkan alasan untuk menunda
Thinking of excuses to postpone

Anda tidak pernah terlihat seperti diri Anda sendiri dari samping
You never looked like yourself from the side

Namun profil Anda tidak dapat disembunyikan
But your profile could not hide

Fakta bahwa kamu tahu aku sedang mendekati takhtamu
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne

Dengan tangan terlipat kamu menduduki bangku itu seperti sakit gigi
With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache

Berdiri dan membusungkan dada seolah Anda tidak pernah kalah perang
Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war

Meskipun aku berusaha untuk tidak menerima penghinaan sebagai reaksinya
And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction

Tidak ada celah untuk digenggam atau celah untuk dicakar
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw

Dan hiburanmu, terdiri dari hal-hal yang aneh
And your pastimes, consisted of the strange

Dan bengkok dan gila
And twisted and deranged

Dan aku benci permainan kecil yang kamu panggil itu
And I hate that little game you had called

"Menangis Petir"
"Crying Lightning"

Dan betapa Anda ingin memperburuk pria yang menjengkelkan itu di sore hari yang hujan
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons

Tidak menarik
Uninviting

Tapi tidak setengah mustahil seperti yang diasumsikan semua orang
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are

Menangis kilat
Crying lightning

Dan hiburanmu, terdiri dari hal-hal yang aneh
And your pastimes, consisted of the strange

Dan bengkok dan gila
And twisted and deranged

Dan aku benci permainan kecil yang kamu panggil itu
And I hate that little game you had called

"Menangis Petir"
"Crying Lightning"

"Menangis Petir"
"Crying Lightning"

"Menangis Petir"
"Crying Lightning"

"Menangis Petir"
"Crying Lightning"

Hiburan Anda, terdiri dari hal-hal aneh
Your pastimes, consisted of the strange

Dan bengkok dan gila
And twisted and deranged

Dan aku benci permainan kecil yang kamu panggil itu
And I hate that little game you had called

"Menangis"
"Crying"
