English help needed

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

here in Russia it always was fashionable to sing in English, kinda Russian sucks etc. and such lyrics are usually crappy, because no one cares/hears them, it's just important, that they're English
fish poetry - or "bird language", as we call it
but not always - even if an author knows the language poorly
i need to transcribe some lyrics - write down i mean
could anyone help, please?
this song for now

after 5 minutes the psychedelic trip starts, so the lyrics are before

I listened a few times and only managed to decipher the first line, which (I think!) goes something like this:

looking for money,
deciding for money,
every safe for money again.

I think? Maybe someone else can help.

thank you
so i've taken superheadphones on, turned loud, put insane gain on 'voice' frequencies, stretched the song (in Soundforge) in about 140% and listened lots of times phrase by phrase
that guy was crazy or used cut-up technique - it explains random phrases and wrong grammar then
so here's the result
any corrections?

looking for money,
deciding for money
and everything for money again

running for the lemony day
be rain, sunny, rain
going like it doesn't fell

cause broken dime has tricked me
final view would if
getting long cares the shame

honest for to hold
can hide from here from
you can do it with truth

it's like something impress
you need something for free
it's like exploding to black
you can hear the cad

buried, covered and stoned
can't throttle my car
and you're parking your cab
you're losing city's dark land


hearing these flickers and
parking this empty and
valuing passing taxi docks

looking pack of pictures of
lies, collapse between
sitting those saddle funks

just starting in everything
clear, but family did
not a thing, body and mind

you don't wanna key,
you don't wanna sell and
somebody talks the tide

it's like something impress
you need something for free
it's like exploding to black
you can hear the cad

buried, covered and stoned
can't throttle my car
and you're parking your cab
you're losing city's dark land
