Act of Being Polite

The Residents


I found her crying in the morning
Sitting in a chair
She was wrapping something up
And wrapping it with care

I did not mean to hurt her
When I fell asleep last night
I was just exhausted 
From the act of being polite

Yes, I was just exhausted
From the act of being polite

Eu a achei chorando pela manhã  
Sentando em uma cadeira  
Ela estava embrulhando algo para cima  
E embrulhando isto com cuidado  

Eu não pretendi a ferir  
Quando eu dormi ontem à noite  
Eu há pouco era exausto   
Do ato de ser cortês  

Sim, eu há pouco era exausto  
Do ato de ser cortês
