Promised Land
Polkov Lyrics

Everything I am, is a mirror
My identity is shaped by how others perceive me.

These days the darkness kicks in
I'm feeling very depressed lately.

The mirror shattered by a hot dog stand
The image others have of me is destroyed by a trivial event.

You got out of hand
You behaved badly and ruined our relationship.

My promised land
The future I imagined for us has been destroyed.

Please, Please, excuse the way I talk
I'm sorry if my speech is not what you expect.

I am sad
I am deeply unhappy.

So very very sad
I'm extremely depressed.

All my love is lost to a cause
I have become uninterested in the things I used to care about.

And I can't win for you, Elisabeth
I am unable to make you happy.

Let's all do the nuclear spin
Let's forget our problems and dance.

We can sing - at least we can still sing
Let's be grateful for the one thing we can still do.

Tell the dancer to illuminate
Let's focus on the dance and make it special.

Let him burn
Let's give the performance our all.

And turn, turn, turn
Let's keep dancing and forget our troubles.

I had a dream of an underground station
I dreamt of a secret place away from the world.

I was chasing her by the blue
I was pursuing someone I loved by the ocean.

I spill my time, like sand
I waste my time without meaning to.

You got out of hand
You behaved badly and ruined our relationship.

My promised land
The future I imagined for us has been destroyed.

Every day feels like another reason lost
I feel like I'm losing a reason to live every day.

I ought to try to sit it out
I should try to endure this pain instead of giving up.

Pour me another glass of sauce
Give me another drink to help me forget.

We keep in touch;
We still stay in contact.

Twice a year we write a few considered lines
We exchange a few thoughtful messages twice a year.

And the one time we met in Graz
The only time we saw each other was in Graz.

In a bar near the park
We met at a bar near a park.

Please, Please, excuse the way I talk
I'm sorry if my speech is not what you expect.

I am sad
I am deeply unhappy.

So very very sad
I'm extremely depressed.

All my love is lost to a cause
I have become uninterested in the things I used to care about.

And I can't win for you, Elisabeth
I am unable to make you happy.
