歌词
Written by Lou Reed
卢·里德
I see the sword of Damocles is right above your head
我看见达摩克利斯之剑正悬于你头顶
They're trying a new treatment to get you out of bed
他们试着用一种新疗法来让你好转
But radiation kills both bad and good
但射线会把所有部分都杀死
It can not differentiate
它不能分辨好坏
So to cure you they must kill you
因此为了治愈你，他们不得不杀死你
The sword of Damocles hangs above your head
达摩克利斯之剑悬于你头顶
Now I have seen lots of peoples die
我已经见过许多人死去
From car crashes or drugs
昨晚在33街，我又看到有个孩子被巴士撞了
Last night on 33rd street, I saw a kid get hit by a bus
但这场源于自体的漫长酷刑
But this drawn out torture over which part of you lives
格外难以承受
Is very hard to take
为了治愈你，他们不得不杀死你
To cure you, they must kill you
达摩克利斯之剑已经悬于你头顶
The sword of Damocles above your head
That mix of ******** and Dexedrine
是我们的街头食粮
We use it on the street
它能麻痹疼痛，让你清醒
It kills the pain and keeps you up
让你的灵魂存续
Your very soul to keep
但是这场猜谜游戏有它自己的规则
But this guessing game has its own rules
善的一方并不总是胜出
The good don't always win
胜出的总是强权
And might makes right
如果达摩克利斯之剑
The sword of Damocles
已悬于你头顶
Is hanging above your head
必须去做的一切都已经完成
It seems everything's done that must be done
尽管并不公平
From over here, though things don't seem fair
可我们总不是无所不知
But there are things that we can't know
或许另一岸并非虚无？
Maybe there's something over there
是否会有一个未知的彼世？
Some other world that we don't know about
我知道你讨厌这些神秘主义垃圾
I know you hate that mystic ****
这只是在用另一种方式看待
It's just another way of seeing
你头顶这柄达摩克利斯之剑
The sword of Damocles above your head
