歌词
He opens his eyes
他睁开双眼
Falls in love at first sight
与站在门口的女孩
With the girl in the doorway
一见钟情
她身姿曼妙
What beautiful lines
活泼灵动
如隔千年
Heart full of life
如梦初醒
他屏住呼吸
After thousands of years
她轻轻触碰他的手臂
为他拂去床上的尘土 此刻他已安然入睡
what a face to wake up to
深埋在砂石泥淖
He holds back a sigh
与血肉骨骼下
As she touches his arm
他心中那枯萎的枝桠
终于复苏醒来
She dusts off the bed where til now he's been sleeping
她轻轻划着小船
带他回家
Under mires of stone
透过舷窗他凝视着海面
她坐在床沿静静诉说
The dry fig of his heart
他悉数倾听
Under scarab and bone
一天他终于用她的语言
回应了她
Starts back to its beating
日子如行云流水
She carries him home
他习惯了逗她笑
指尖缠绕着她的发丝 他第一次尝到心动的滋味
In a beautiful boat
她问 你被诅咒过吧
他答 我想我已被治愈
He watches the sea from a porthole in stowage
然后他谈起尼罗河畔身穿灯芯草裙的女孩
He can hear all she says
在纽约 他被人们放进棺盒
As she sits by his bed
以玻璃覆盖
And one day his lips answered her
他佯装死去
In her own language
人们蜂拥而至 为他送别
The days quickly pass
但当夜晚降临 她翩然而至
两人漫步在墓区的礼堂中
He loves making her laugh
她称其为博物馆
而他停下脚休憩
The first time he moves it's her hair that he touches
不愿再走动
She asks "Are you cursed?"
渐渐她也感到疲惫
He says "I think that I'm cured."
仍撑着睡意问他的境况
Then he talks of the Nile and the girls in bulrushes
用她留下的关于他的文字
他逐渐学会了阅读
In New York he is laid
并润色修改
她将他写进书里
In a glass covered case
人们往来
缅怀哀悼
He pretends he is dead
他们曾居西区的亲人
终于有天他不能再忍耐
People crowd round to see him
决定起身 离开墓地
But at night she comes round
抛开接踵而来的混乱喧嚣 毅然去找寻她
And the two wander down the halls of the tomb
她已全靠手杖支撑
尽管脸色苍白无力
That she calls a museum
却难掩见他的欣喜
他轻扶着她 并肩行走
But he stops to rest
她又问起 你是否受到了诅咒
Then less and less
而他避讳不言
沙暴一样猛烈的闪光灯群
Then it's her that looks tired
以及喧闹的记者
Staying up asking questions
争相报道这起死回生的怪谈
于是二人四处漂泊
He learns how to read
途中他会走下车
From the papers that she is writing about him
与其他女人交谈
然后满怀深情地谈起她
Then he makes corrections
和他们在“博物馆”里度过的那些夜晚
现在的她仿佛是他新的羁绊
It's his face on her book
她不再出门
More come to look
只是躺在床上
在人们茶余饭后谈起的每个镇上的旅馆里
Families from Iowa
渐渐她容颜不再
褶皱也爬满双手
Upper West-Siders
后来有一天她的心脏停止了跳动 枝桠枯萎
在很久很久以前的那只船上
Then one day it's too much
她问起金字塔的秘密
He decides to get up
他说 其实金字塔是来自神灵的邀请
Then as chaos ensues he walks outside to find her
她问道 你被诅咒过吧
She is using a cane
他答道 我想我已被治愈
然后他轻吻她
And her face looks too pale
希望她会忘却那个问题
But she's happy to see him
As they walk he supports her
She asks "Are you cursed?"
But his answer is obscured
In a sandstorm of flashbulbs
Rowdy reporters
Such reanimation
The two tour the nation
He gets out of limos
Meets other women
He speaks of her fondly
Their nights in the museum
She's just one more rag now he's dragging behind him
She stops going out
She just lies there in bed
In hotels in whatever towns they are speaking
Then her face starts to set
And her hands start to fold
Then one day the dry fig of her heart stops its beating
Long ago on the ship
She asked why pyramids
He said "Think of them as an immense invitation."
She asks "Are you cursed?"
He says "I think that I'm cured."
Then he kissed her and hoped
That she'd forget that question
