歌词与中文翻译
Like a bird on the wire,like a drunk in a midnight choir
就像电线上的小鸟 就像午夜合唱团里的醉汉
I have tried in my way to be free.
我穷尽一生只为自由自在
Like a worm (fish) on a hook,like a knight from some old fashioned book

I have saved all my ribbons for thee.

If I, if I have been unkind,I hope that you can just let it go by.

If I, if I have been untrue,I hope you know it was never to you.

Like a baby, still born,like a beast with his horn

I have torn everyone who reached out for me.

But I swear by this song and by all that I have done wrong

he said to me, "You must not ask for so much."
