歌词
The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68
上一次我见到瑞查德，是在68年的底特律
And he told me all romantics meet the same fate someday
而他告诉我所有浪漫主义者在某天都会面临相同的命运
Cynical and drunk and boring someone in some dark cafe
沦落在某个黑咖啡馆，愤世嫉俗，昏醉，无趣
You laugh, he said you think you're immune, go look at your eyes
“你大笑，”他说“你认为能超脱，看看你的眼睛
They're full of moon
你的眼睛充满月光
You like roses and kisses and pretty men to tell you
你喜欢玫瑰，亲吻，以及英俊的男人同你攀谈
All those pretty lies, pretty lies
所有这些美丽的谎言，美丽的谎言
When you gonna realize they're only pretty lies
什么时候你才能醒悟，它们只是美丽的谎言
Only pretty lies, just pretty lies
只有美丽的谎言，只是美丽的谎言“
He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer, and he pushed
他把二十五美分投进自动唱机，然后他按了
Three buttons and the thing began to whir
三个按钮，歌声开始飘扬
And a bar maid came by in fishnet stockings and a bow tie
然后穿着渔网袜，戴着蝴蝶结的酒吧侍女过来
And she said drink up now it's gettin' on time to close
然后她说赶紧喝完，要打烊了
Richard, you haven't really changed, I said
瑞查德，你真的没有改变，我说
It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head
只是现在你在把你脑中的痛苦浪漫化
You got tombs in your eyes, but the songs
你的眼中是坟墓，但你点的歌
You punched are dreaming
都是幻想
Listen, they sing of love so sweet, love so sweet
听，他们歌唱爱情如此甜蜜，爱情如此甜蜜
When you gonna get yourself back on your feet?
你什么时候才能重新站起来呢？
Oh and love can be so sweet, love so sweet
哦，而爱情如此甜蜜，爱情如此甜蜜
Richard got married to a figure skater

And he bought her a dishwasher and a coffee percolator
然后他买给她一个洗碗机和咖啡机
And he drinks at home now most nights with the TV on
而如今他晚上在家看电视，喝酒
And all the house lights left up bright
整座房子灯都亮着
I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
我要把这该死的蜡烛吹灭
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
我不想让任何人到我的桌子这边
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
我跟任何人都没话说
All good dreamers pass this way some day
某一天所有梦想家都会以这种方式结束
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes
藏在黑咖啡馆的酒瓶后
Dark cafes
黑咖啡馆
Only a dark cocoon before I get my gorgeous wings
在得到华丽的翅膀飞走之前
And fly away
我只有黑色的茧
Only a phase, these dark cafe days
这些在黑咖啡馆的日子，只是一个阶段
