歌词
Standing at the window
站在窗边
A farmer's wife in Oxford shire
一个牛津郡的农夫之妻瞥向钟表
Glances at the clock; it's nearly time for tea
快到下午茶的时间了
She doesn't see
她全然未察觉
The phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings
篱墙上飘过的影子，像是拍了拍翅膀
Doesn't hear the engine sing
她也全然没听见引擎响声
But in the cockpit's techno glow
但飞行舱里，科技舞曲震耳欲聋
Behind the Ray Ban? shine
雷朋墨镜后面呢？一双眼睛闪耀着
The kid from Cleveland
他是从克利夫兰来的孩子
In the comfort of routine
原本享受着平淡的生活
Scans his dials and smiles
看着他的拨号盘，微笑着
Secure in the beauty of military life
但现在却被困在了军旅生涯
There is no right or wrong
哪里来的对与错
Only tin cans and cordite and white cliffs
只有锡罐，无烟火药，白色悬崖阴暗的地道
And blue skies and flight flight flight
还有蓝色天空，无休止的飞行
The beauty of military life
军旅生活的美啊
No questions only orders and flight, only flight
不接受问题，只下达命令，只有无休止的飞行
What a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream
然而小时候，他狂野的蓝天梦多美啊
The eternal child leafs through his war magazine
这长不大的孩子匆匆翻阅他的战况杂志
And his kind Uncle Sam feeds ten trillion in change
看到他和善的山姆大叔(喻指美国政府)将十万亿的资金
Into the total entertainment combat video game
都投入到这格斗游戏的娱乐之中
And up here in the stands
看台上
The fans are going wild
粉丝们都激动了
The cheerleaders flip
你翻升机架的时候
When you wiggle your hip
啦啦队长们也都在蹦跳
And we all like the bit when you take
我们都喜欢你
The jeans from the refrigerator and
射出子弹的样子
Then the bad guy gets hit
击落敌机
And were you struck by the satisfying way
然后你以一个令人满意的，颇具美感的角度被击中
The swimsuit sticks to her skin
你想起，泳衣紧贴着她的皮肤
Like BB gun days
就像还在迷恋空气枪的日子
When knives pierce autumn leaves
尖刀刺穿秋叶
But that's okay see the children bleed
你甚至觉得看着孩子们流血，完全没关系的
It'll look great on the TV
电视上看起来会很震撼
And in Tripoli another ordinary wife
在的黎波里(利比亚首都)，另一个普通的人妇
Stares at the dripping her old man hadn't
盯着漏水的房子
Time to fix
她的丈夫却没有时间去修护
Too busy mixing politics and rhythm
他太忙了，忙着在下面的街上
In the street below
将政治融于旋律之中
