歌词
作曲:Gibbard
微缩版的埃菲尔塔
The Eiffel Tower built to smaller scale
还有迄今为止吸到的最新鲜的氧气
The freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale
我踢开一个易拉罐用来打发时间
I tapped a bottle against the safety rail killing time
你整个人就是像一首行走的赞歌
And you were like a walking compliment
我高大的身材和一身才学
Tall in stature and exceptionally read
全装在虚伪的近视镜和开襟毛衫里
In dummy glasses and a cardigan (Oh, come on)
哦，这里的赌徒和服务生们都是一副虚伪的面孔
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
你说你早已学会忽略这些东西
You said that all these things you've learned to ignore
隐形摄像头藏在赌场各处
The hidden cameras on the casino floor
还有酒店背后的那些勾当
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors (Oh, come on)
就假装每个老虎机都是在向你打招呼的机器人吧
Pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello
你盯着它们的机械眼睛
The people stare into their eyes
投喂小小的贿赂然后他们就开动了
And they feed them little bribes and then they go
在这永不消逝的黄昏里
The never-ending twilight
在这阳光永不被吞没的地下室中
In a basement where the sun has never spilt
你说你感到孤独
You said that you were lonely
然后我们接吻了，就像那些孤独的人们一样
And then we kissed like lonely people do
你说这城市在剧烈的跳动
You said this city has a beating heart
所有的人都涌向林荫大道
That pushes people down the boulevard
我们都希望美梦成真
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
在这一美元钞票的沙漠里
In a desert for a dollar bill
愚蠢的梦仍在吞噬着我
Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still (Oh, come on)
哦，这儿的赌徒和服务生们都是一副虚伪的面孔
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
哦，人人都是一副虚伪的面孔
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
真虚伪
The Empty
