Текст пісні
He doesn't have a clue
He doesn't think 'It is night time' or 'I am walking'
He wants to buy cigarettes
He doesn't need to think
It's an automatic urge
The moment's not epic
It's just an old habit
It's an ordinary night
In an ordinary city
The man keeps moving
He thinks about the cities and how slowly they evolve
Cities don't choose
He doesn't have a clue
The thought makes him smile
Because the man is a man
And unbeknown to him
The moment is arriving
When nothing will ever be the same again
It's an ordinary night
In an ordinary city
The man keeps moving
He thinks about cities and how slowly they evolve
Cities don't choose
He doesn't have a clue
And the man who hears them
The man we saw earlier, walking outside
Stopping in front of this store
The man, so self-assured
Hesitates
Because that man
The man philosophizing about cities just a minute ago
He knew no doubt
And the doubt that he now feels creeping in
That doubt that is forming swiftly into fear
Forces him to flee
Now the woman
With her prophetic smile
Sees before her a man who doesn't belong
A man who shoves customers, shop displays
And now none of this is an old habit
And for the first time, now
As he hurries along the streets, head bowed
The man is in search of a solace hitherto unknown
The man wants to go home
Standing before his front door the man starts to understand
The key burns in his hand
As the she-threat continues smiling from afar
The man turns the key
And nothing happens
The door stays shut
The man collapses
The crack has become a chasm
So he does not notice
