Pizza Galaxie [English translation]

My beater slowly cleaves the fog

On the passenger side, two large all-dressed*

The November sky is in tears

Outside, we can't see the addresses

The guy on the radio said so earlier

Seems like the economy's busted

Times are hard for delivery men

People don't tip, gas is expensive

That's it, I'm going back to the restaurant

To finish my shift, to punch my card

Like the manager just told me

It isn't tonight we're gonna get rich

Thanks a lot for the assessment

It just makes me wanna get sloshed

Nevermind, I promised it to AA

I'll stay sober as a judge

One day at a time

My beater restarts in the cold

On the passenger side, no more tenderness

The sky of my days is in tears

You never left me an address

The weatherman said so earlier

Seems like there's a depression in the air

Times are hard for my li'l heart

Whaddya want, you were dear to me

So I'm leaving the restaurant

Alone again with myself

Like the manager just told me

It certainly isn't tonight I'm gonna get laid

Cheap shot, but hey, the truth

Comes out of the mouths of sons of bitches**

And, well, I admit it, it sucks to be me

But each day has enough trouble of its own***

(Chorus)

Like a beat up star in the night

I hang on my sky and I survive

I so desperately need a friend****

In the vastness of my boredom

I seek the same thing as everybody else

A bit of love on my bruises

Meanwhile I go in circles in the night

In Galaxy Pizza's neighbourhood

My beater stays the course in the darkness

On the passenger side, a huge desert

January's sky tells itself scary stories

While casting a warm spell on winter

My friend Matéo saw you earlier

Seems like you're back to throwing your life away

Times are good for your dealer

It makes me sad to see you in misery

Tonight I'll hold on the steering wheel

Weak bastion against my demons

120 days I've been sober

I swear that sometimes it feels like forever

In the end, we weren't alike

You wait until you grow wings

While I only wish to see the sun

Through my freezing windshield

(Chorus)

Like a beat up star in the night

I hang on my sky and I survive

I so desperately need a friend

In the vastness of my boredom

I seek the same thing as everybody else

A bit of love on my bruises

Meanwhile I go in circles in the night

In Galaxy Pizza's neighbourhood

Meanwhile I go in circles in the night

In Galaxy Pizza's neighbourhood
