The Quantum Tram The Wrong Stop 2

Эта и третья версия немного опереточными получились - что-то из Имре Кальмана))) [Intro] (A lush, sweeping string section in the style of Paul Mauriat, a lonely acoustic Portuguese guitar plucking a Fado intro, building into a distinct, melancholy three-quarter (3/4) Mazurka rhythm in A minor) [Verse 1] The morning after the heavy parade, In a thick foggy mist where the memories fade. I stepped on a tram, just to clear out my head, To wash out the words that the cynic had said. The tracks were familiar, the windows were grey, But the signs on the stations were drifting away. The people inside had a terrifying stare, And the scent of a stranger was thick in the air. With every sharp turn on the rusted steel rail, A new world was born, and the old one turned pale. [Chorus] Oh, dance the mazurka, the quantum mistake! I took the wrong turn in the worlds that we break. Like 'Folhas caídas' — the autumn leaves fall, I see parallel ghosts walking down in the hall. An Everett shadow, a Morricone horn, In this A-minor carriage, a new life is born. I’m riding the wave of a beautiful void, Where the linear truth was completely destroyed! [Verse 2] I looked through the glass and I froze to the bone: I saw myself there, with a house of my own. In one world I stayed with my beautiful bride, In another — the ghost of the poet had died. The tram hit the brakes with a mechanical shriek, I got off at my stop, but my knees became weak. I unlocked my door with the keys in my hand... But a strange woman sat in my desolate land. She smiled like a viper, she called me her spouse, I’m a quantum hostage in a different house. [Outro] (A magnificent orchestral climax: sweeping violins, tragic Morricone-style trumpets, and a frantic Flamenco acoustic guitar strumming, all strictly maintaining the 3/4 Mazurka beat. The low baritone voice drops into a deep, echoing whisper over a single cello note.) Not my stop... Not my wife... The tram goes on. (Fade out with a tragic trumpet blast and a distant mechanical track-rumble)
