歌词
Everyone loves ascending fourths
人人都爱上行四度
And everyone loves ascending fourths
人人都爱上行四度
Oh, everyone loves ascending fourths
噢，每个人都喜欢上行四度
And everyone loves ascending fourths, everyone loves

The paintings of orthodox monks on the wall
墙上挂着修道士画
Impotent Mark puts his pen to forehead
无力的马克（马库斯）拿笔抵着额头
Waiting for proof of his unquestioned gift
等待验证他那无可置疑的天赋
As three open windows bring air to his cheeks
风从三扇敞开的窗户吹向他的脸颊
The rest of him smothered in three sweat drenched sheets
身体则被三层汗湿的被单裹得透不过气来
With commission spent and date dying near
佣金已被挥霍一空，最后期限将至
And no newborn zeal or written ideas
却毫无创作的热情与灵感
A receding hum, akin to pink noise
哼唱声如同粉红噪音般逐渐微弱
Escapes his cerebral hand that toys
从他那被愚弄的脑中逃脱
Miserably clutching, it never avails
他痛苦地想要抓住，却无济于事
Without resorting to kitschy entrails
只有肤浅的内核才能永恒
To stand up tall and straight is to break one leg
站得高等同于摔断腿
Since last third quarter he has not got out of bed
自上个第三季度以来，他一直卧床不起
Meanwhile, envoys follow the stars
与此同时，使者们追随着星辰
And the arcs of the larks
和云雀飞行的轨迹
Further north to collect the work
一路北上收集作品
Promised to their employer noblemen
承诺献给他们的贵族雇主
He tries in vain for one pure line
他渴望写出纯粹的乐曲，却徒劳无功
Under the weight of tired eyes
在困意的重压下
He slips into the warm, soft night
他溜进这温暖柔软的夜晚
To drift carefree beyond imagined eyes
在想象的国度无忧无虑地遨游
In dreams he finds a cure
在梦中他找到了慰藉
That for now will suffice
现在这就足够了
Everyone loves ascending fourths

Everyone loves ascending fourths

Oh
噢
The paintings of orthodox monks on the wall
墙上的修道士画
Watch Markus spill ink freely on his finest scores
看着马库斯奋笔疾书，在乐谱上洋洋洒洒
Sixty-five repetitions of ascending fourths
上行四度重复65次
And day break - men arrive in droves and force the door
天亮了——他们已经到达，破门而入
His work unfinished, they do not accept and throw him to the floor
他的作品还未完成，他们并不买账，把他扔在地上
He comes to in chains
他戴着镣铐
Brought in front of judges
被带到评判员们面前
For testing good faith
为了验证信誉
To try, and to risk, and to fail
尝试、冒险、失败
Unanimously condemned
只得到一致的谴责
His masterpiece schmaltz

Impure, no heart, no taste

But everyone loves, everyone loves
