歌词
I was standing at the Pearly Gates
我曾站在天国之门旁
I was looking for a man of faith
我寻找着一个有信仰的男人
I had questions pressing on me more than not
我有着堆积的问题推动着我
I was looking for some answers on the spot
我在寻找着一些到点的回答
Two girls walked in, paperwork in hand
两位女孩走了进来,手中拿着公文
They were tanned from the trip
她们在某趟旅行中晒得很漂亮
They'd seen the judge, he'd heard 'em out
她们已见过审判者,他已听过她们的心声
Wasn't lookin' good, wasn't lookin' good for us
“不好看么,我们看起来难道不好看吗”
What about us?
我们是怎样的呢?
But like some roadside vet with a bag in hand
但就像一些手里持着包的老兵一样
I could do anything St. Peter asked
我可以做圣彼得要求的任何事
For one chance to be an angel in his eyes
他给我一个机会来做他眼中的天使
It seemed to be the safe bet, so I closed my eyes
这似乎是安全的选择,所以我闭上了我的眼睛
And I opened my gates wide
然后我大大地打开了我的门
And St. Peter came inside
然后圣彼得探了进来
“Never, never be safe even if you're in the Gates
“哪怕在天堂里你也永远,永远不会安全”
Give it up, you're just some man's daughter
“放弃吧,你只不过是某个男人的女儿”(注:可听到唱daughter时背景有合children)
Never, never be safe even if you're in the Gates
“甚至在天堂里你也永远,永远不得安全”
Give it up, you're just some man's daughter”
“死心吧,你只不过是某个男人的女儿”
I promise, this is not a rumor
我承诺,以下的叙述不是谣传
I asked for nothing but to stop it short
我别无所求只是请他早一点停下来
I guess he didn't hear a word I said
我猜我说的话他一个字都没有听到
And after he acted as if I hadn't been in his bed
并且在那之后他表现得好像我和他没有上过床
I was definitely in his bed
我确实和他上过床
Peter bragged he was good at pulling out
彼得吹嘘他很擅长撤出
He always knew the right time to take a bow
他总是知道鞠躬谢幕的正确时机
He practiced it every single night
他每一夜都在练习它
It hadn't failed him yet
它目前还没有让他觉得挫败
He'd been doing it a long, long time
他这样做已经很久,很久了
And Peter just does whatever Peter likes
彼得只做彼得乐意的事情
“Never, never be safe even if you're in the Gates
“哪怕在天堂里你也永远,永远不会安全”
Give it up, you're just some man's daughter
“放弃吧,你只不过是某个男人的女儿”
Never, never be safe even if you're in the Gates
“甚至在天堂里你也永远,永远不得安全”
Give it up, you're just some man's daughter”
“死心吧,你只不过是某个男人的女儿”

Even if you're at the Pearly Gates
