Текст песни The Air of Hiroshima - Как показалось тебе тогда

I gave a tooth that I am toothless
and swore by his mother that he was an orphan.
I'm not so crazy though
as it seemed to you then.

my abstractions are like alkalis
and the brain ate acid.
everything is not so cloudless
as it seemed to you then.

and every city eats shoes,
and shoes trample on the city.
I'm not a wick, not fire, not gunpowder
as it seemed to you then.

***
