歌词
Are we to speak first day of the week
我们会谈起一周的第一天吗?
Stumbling words at the bar
在酒吧里忐忑不安地说话
碧眼的美人 我点份薯条
Beauty blue eyes my order of fries
附上长岛的友善和葡萄酒
Long island kindness and wine
亲爱的约翰 我一直理解错了
我把你读成诗
Beloved of John I get it all wrong
我寻得的化石隐于字里行间
他们是否毫无生气?
I read you for some kind of poem
所以我们能否轻易假装
就在这幻境消逝之前
Covered in lines the fossils I find
我只是一个凡人 带着一颗
被孤寂与贪欲的诉求刺伤的心
Have they no life of their own
唯独我的影子陪我说话
我也只是一具行尸走肉
So can we pretend sweetly
你美丽的面庞是多么大的浪费
Before the mystery ends
跌跌撞撞的毯子升起来
I am a man with a heart that offends
去追随你的珍宝 还有你白色羽毛的朋友
With it's lonely and greedy demands
伊卡洛斯指向太阳
如果历史谈到两颗乳牙
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
我会将山脉涂成蓝色和红色
I'm dead
他们说 当心啊我的主 听听我的祷告
在你身上 我将我的痛苦流尽
Such a waste your beautiful face
我们还能否成为亲密友人
就在这幻境消逝之前
Stumbling carpet arise
我爱你的情感已多得连世界
空洞 无主见的大脑都容不下
Go follow your gem your white feathered friend
唯独我的影子陪我说话
我只是一具行尸走肉
Icarus point to the sun
我摒住呼吸
我的舌头埋在你的胸前
If history speaks of two baby teeth
我的心又能说些什么?
如果历史说 亲吻我的脸颊
I'm painting the hills blue and red
除了一个印迹,什么也没留下
我亲爱的约翰 于是我继续着
They said beware lord hear my prayer
倒数着我的卡片
当我死去 请来到我的床头
I've wasted my throes on your head
我的骨骸在太阳光下闪耀
所以我们能否和平竞争
So can we be friends sweetly
就在我的生命终结之前?
Before the mystery ends
耶稣啊 我需要你靠近我 来保护我
不让化石落在我的头上
I love you more than the world can contain
唯独我的影子陪我说话
In it's lonely and ramshackle head
我死去了
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
I'm dead
I'm holding my breath
My tongue on your chest
What can be said of my heart
If history speaks the kiss on my cheek
Where there remains but a mark
Beloved my John so I'll carry on
Counting my cards down to one
And when I am dead come visit my bed
My fossil is bright in the sun
So can we contend peacefully
Before my history ends
Jesus I need you be near me come shield me
From fossils that fall on my head
There's only a shadow of me in a manner of speaking
I'm dead
