歌词
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks
这夜晚不正是耍花招的好时机吗
When you're tryin' to be so quiet
当你试图保持安静的时
We sit here stranded though we're all doing our best to deny it
我们在此陷于困境， 尽管我们都在极力否认
And Louise holds a handful of rain tempting you to defy it
而路易丝捧着一手雨水 诱惑你去反抗
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
对面阁楼的光线摇曳闪烁
In this room the heat pipes just cough
这房间里的暖气管吱吱作响
The country music station plays soft
乡村音乐电台播放轻柔的音乐
But there's nothing really nothing to turn off
可是没有什么 真的没有什么需要安静的
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
只是露易丝和她的情人如此缠绵
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
与乔安娜的各种幻象攻克了我的心智
In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
空地上 女士们用钥匙链玩蒙眼捉迷藏
And the all night girls they whisper of escapades out on the d train
火车上 夜店女孩们窃窃私语着恶作剧
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
我们听到守夜人滴答按着手电筒
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
他反思着是自己还是他们太疯癫了
Louise she's all right she's just near
露易丝，她没有什么不好，她就在附近
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
她温润娇弱 就像一面镜子
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
可她让一切都变得太简单明了
That Johanna's not here
那就是乔安娜已经不在这了
The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face
电流幽灵在她头骨里嘶吼
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place
在那乔安娜的各种幻象已经取代了我的位置
Now little boy lost he takes himself so seriously
现在男孩迷失了 他太把自己当回事
He brags of his misery he likes to live dangerously
他吹嘘自己的不幸 爱好不安定地活着
And when bringing her name up
可当提及她的名字
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
他即与我匆匆吻别
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
他定有许多苦衷 才变得如此一无是处
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
我身处大厅 在墙边低声喃喃自语
Oh how can I explain
哦 我不知该如何是好
It's so hard to get on
继续下去如此艰难
And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn
就乔安娜的各种幻象 支撑着我越过了黎明
Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial
博物馆里，‘‘永恒’’正在接受审判
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
各种声音附和到 这就是不久之后的救赎
But Mona Lisa must had the highway blues
而蒙娜丽莎一定沉浸在公路蓝调
You can tell by the way she smiles
从她微笑的样子你就能感觉到
See the primitive wallflower freeze
瞧瞧那孤零零没有舞伴的人傻站着
When the jelly faced women all sneeze
脸上抹得像果冻的女人们打起喷嚏
Hear the one with the mustache say jeez
听到那个留着一撮胡子的人喊'天啊'
I can't find my knees
我已双膝麻木
Oh jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
哦 珠宝和望远镜挂在骡子的头上
But these visions of Johanna they make it all seem so cruel
只是乔安娜的各种幻象让这一切都显得如此残酷
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
小商贩和假意关心他的伯爵夫人聊着天
Saying name me someone that's not a parasite
说着给我个不是吃软饭的名分吧
And I'll go out and say a prayer for him
而我会出门为他祷告
But like Louise always says
可就像路易斯常说的
Ya can't look at much can ya man
你不能考虑太多 难道你能吗
As she herself prepares for him
尽管她自己为他预备着
And madonna she still has not showed
而麦当娜她还没有亮相
We see this empty cage now corrode
我们看到这个空洞笼子被腐蚀了
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
在那她的舞台披肩曾流动着
The fiddler he now steps to the road
拉小提琴的人现在迈步到街头
He writes everything's been returned which was owed
他写道所有赊来的东西都已返还
On the back of the fish truck that loads
在装满鱼的卡车后面
While my conscience explodes
我的良知涌上心头
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
口琴吹奏着基本音和雨声
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
而现在所残存的 只有乔安娜的各种幻象了
