歌词与中文翻译
制作人 : David Bowie
空气逐渐变得炎热
The air is getting hotter
天边传来隆隆的响声
There's a rumbling in the sky
我曾趟过充满泥泞的浑水
I've been wading through the high muddy water
但我的目光依然灼热
With the heat rising through my eyes
记忆一天天变得暗淡
Every day your memory grows dimmer
但却不并再如从前那般困扰我
It doesn't haunt me like it did before
我曾走入无名之地
I've been walking through the middle of nowhere
想要在他们关闭大门之前 迈向天堂
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
当我到达密苏里时
When I was in Missouri
他们并不让我呆在那里
They would not let me be
我不得不匆忙离开
I had to leave there in a hurry
我只能看见他们想让我看到的世界
I only saw what they let me see
那伤害了一颗爱你的心
That broke a heart that loved you
现在你可以将书本尘封 不再书写
Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore
我曾在那孤寂的山谷里漫步
I've been walking that lonesome valley
想要在他们关门之前 到达天堂
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
想要在他们关门之前 到达天堂
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
想要在他们关门之前 到达天堂
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
站台上的人们
People on the platforms
等待着列车
Waiting for the trains
我能听见他们的心跳声
I can hear their hearts a-beatin'
就像链条上摆动的挂钟
Like pendulum swinging on a chain
当你觉得已经失去了一切
When you think that you've lost everything
你会发现你还能失去更多
You find out you can lose a little more
我只想沿着道路一直走 带着悲伤的情绪
I'm just going down the... that road feeling bad
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前
Trying hard to get to heaven before they close the door
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
我顺着河流而下
I'm going down the river
来到了新奥尔良
Going down to New Orleans
他们告诉我一切都会好起来的
They tell me everything is gonna be all right
我却不知道 怎样才算好起来
But I don't know what "all right" even means
我闭上眼睛任思绪蔓延 男孩们
I'll close my eyes and I wonder, boys
如果一切都像看上去那边空洞
If everything is as hollow as it seems
我曾去过糖果镇 抖落一身的糖果
I've been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前（尝试到达那里）
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door (Trying to get there)
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door (Trying to get there)
让我的梦想重新来过
(And relive my dreams)
努力想要进入天堂 在他们关闭大门之前
Trying to get to heaven before they close the door
我去过世界的每一个角落 孩子们
(I've been all around the world, boys)
努力想要进入天堂……在他们关闭大门之前
Trying to get to heaven... before they close the door
