歌词与中文翻译
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候
我们在此陷于困境， 尽管我们都在极力否认
We sit here stranded though we're all doing our best to deny it
而路易丝捧着一手雨水 诱惑你去反抗
对面阁楼的光线摇曳闪烁
And Louise holds a handful of rain tempting you to defy it
这房间里的暖气管吱吱作响
乡村音乐电台播放轻柔的音乐
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
可是没有什么 真的没有什么需要安静的
只是露易丝和她的情人激烈缠绵
In this room the heat pipes just cough
与乔安娜的各种幻象攻克了我的心智
空地上 女士们用钥匙链玩蒙眼捉迷藏
The country music station plays soft
火车上 夜店女孩们窃窃私语着恶作剧
我们听到守夜人滴答按着手电筒
But there's nothing really nothing to turn off
他反思着是自己还是他们太疯癫了
露易丝，她没有什么不好，她就在附近
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
她温润娇弱 就像一面镜子
可她让一切都变得太简单明了
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind
那就是乔安娜已经不在这了
电流幽灵在她头骨里嘶吼
In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
在那乔安娜的各种幻象已经取代了我的位置
现在男孩迷失了 他太把自己当回事
And the all night girls they whisper of escapades out on the d train
他吹嘘自己的不幸 爱好不安定地活着
可当提及她的名字
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
他即与我匆匆吻别
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
他定有许多苦衷 才变得如此一无是处
我身处大厅 在墙边低声喃喃自语
Louise she's all right she's just near
哦 我不知该如何是好
继续下去如此艰难
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
就乔安娜的各种幻象 支撑着我越过了黎明
博物馆里，‘‘永恒’’正在接受审判
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
各种声音附和到 这就是不久之后的救赎
That Johanna's not here
而蒙娜丽莎一定沉浸在公路蓝调
从她微笑的样子你就能感觉到
The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face
瞧瞧那孤零零没有舞伴的人傻站着
脸上抹得像果冻的女人们打起喷嚏
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place
听到那个留着一撮胡子的人喊'天啊'
我已双膝麻木
Now little boy lost he takes himself so seriously
哦 珠宝和望远镜挂在骡子的头上
只是乔安娜的各种幻象让这一切都显得如此残酷
He brags of his misery he likes to live dangerously
小商贩和假意关心他的伯爵夫人聊着天
说着给我个不是吃软饭的名分吧
And when bringing her name up
而我会出门为他祷告
可就像路易斯常说的
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
你不能考虑太多 难道你能吗
尽管自己为他预备着
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
而麦当娜她还没有亮相
我们看到这个空洞笼子被腐蚀了
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
在那她的舞台披肩曾流动着
拉小提琴的人现在迈步到街头
Oh how can I explain
他写道所有赊来的东西都已返还
It's so hard to get on
在装满鱼的卡车后面
我的良知涌上心头
And these visions of Johanna they kept me up past the dawn
口琴吹奏着基本音和雨声
而乔安娜的各种幻象 是现在所残存的一切了
Inside the museums infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But mona lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower frieze
When the jelly faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say jeeze
I can't find my knees
Oh jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna they make it all seem so cruel
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Saying name me someone that's not a parasite
And I'll go out and say a prayer for him
But like Louise always says
Ya can't look at much can ya man
As she herself prepares for him
And madonna she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler he now steps to the road
He writes everything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain
