The Great Wall of China

歌词
Advice is cheap you can take it from me
建议是很廉价的我也会提
It's yours to keep cause opinions are free
但是你可以收藏你的因为观点本是自由的
Nobody knows about the trouble I've seen
没有人知道我曾遇见过什么样的麻烦
Nobody's perfect, mister, nobody's clean
没有人是完美的,先生,没有人完全干净
It cost too much and takes too long to find out too late
我们花费了太多时间和金钱然而我们发现得太晚了
Some words are not heard till after they're spoken
有些言语在它们被说出之后未曾被聆听
Your role was protective, your soul was too defective
你的防御性很强,你的灵魂筑起高高的抵抗
Some people just don't have a heart to be broken
但是你知道吗,有的人注定不会心碎的
We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
我们本来可以一起出发,一路到中国的长城去
If you'd only had a little more faith in me
如果当时的你对我有那么一点点信心
In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
我们可以去看堆满钻石黄金和铂金的地方,提醒我们生活依旧闪耀着
All the king's men and all the king's horses
我们可以去看皇帝的侍从和他的马
Can't put you together the way you used to be
但我也不能把你修补出你原来的样子
We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China
我们现在本可以站在中国的长城上
You take a piece of whatever you touch
无论你走到哪里你总是带走一些
Too many pieces means you're touching too much
而你囤积得越多证明你触碰得越多
You never win if you can't play it straight
如果你无法想通你就无法获胜
You only beat me if you get me to hate
只有恨我才能让你打败我
It must be so lonely to think that you have only
你这么想一定很孤单吧?
Somebody else's life to live if they let you
你认为只有过上别人的生活才会快乐?
I ain't too selective, but it don't take no detective
我不是很挑剔的人,但是我也不想要和疑神疑鬼的侦探在一起
To find out how fast your friends will forget you
你总是想知道你的朋友还有多久离开你
We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
我们本来可以一起出发,去到遥远的长城
Now all you're going to be is history
但是现在你全部的价值即将入土历史
Help yourself, it's all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight
别客气,好好享用你在帝王宫殿的最后晚餐
You coulda had class, you coulda have been a contender
你本可以做一个上流的人,一个积极竞争的人
Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me
Charlie,你本该照顾我的
You could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China
你现在本来可以站在中国的长城上
This was not your calling, just look how far you've fallen
这不是你的呼喊,你到你堕落的程度了吗
我听见你说的了,你是在开玩笑吧
I heard your story, man, you've got to be joking
客观点看事情,这是我真心的观点
如果你只是心碎了,为什么又自己把自己碾碎呢?
Keep things in perspective, this is my true objective
我们本可以一起出发,去遥远的长城
Why tear this heart out if it's only been broken?
如果你可以对我有那么一点点的信心
We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China
我们可以去看堆满钻石黄金和铂金的地方,提醒我们生活依旧闪耀着
If you'd only had a little more faith in me
我们可以去看皇帝的侍从和他的马
In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright
但我也不能把你修补出你原来的样子
All the king's men and all the king's horses
我们现在本可以站在中国的长城上
Can't put you together the way you used to be
We could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China
