歌词
One hand on this wily comet
单手停留在狡猾的彗星尾部
Take a drink just to give me some weight
再喝一杯酒也不过徒增体重
Some uber-man I'd make
有空的话我可能会做个优步司机
I'm barely a vapor
我很少抽蒸汽电子烟
They shone a chlorine light on
他们闪耀淡绿色的冷光
A host of individual sins
众人的罪恶集合
Let's carve my aging face off
雕刻出时光赋予我们的衰老面庞
Fetch us a knife
递给我一把刀
Start with my eyes
从双眼开始
Down so the lines
逐渐刻画脸部轮廓
Form a grimacing smile
从扭曲的笑容里捉摸
Close your eyes to corral a virtue
闭上双眼,收拢一种美德
Is this fooling anyone else
我是否能愚弄到谁
Never worked so long and hard
从未如此卖力持久地工作着
To cement a failure
只为收获实实在在的失败
We can blow on our thumbs and posture
我们可以假装欣赏或故作姿态
But the lonely are such delicate things
但是孤独是如此精致的东西呵
The wind from a wasp could blow them
一只黄蜂所扇起的风能吹散它
Into the sea
直直吹向海洋
With stones on their feet
脚上拴着重石
Lost to the light and the loving we need
为求之不得的光和爱意迷失自我
Still to come
仍热切渴求着
The worst part and you know it
你知道最坏的情况是怎样
There is a numbness
你会感到内心麻木
In your heart and it's growing
这种麻木不断蔓延生长
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
烧焦的鼠尾草和久远回忆的丛林
I click my heels
我点着鞋跟
Get the devils in line
让心中撒旦归队
A list of things I could lay the blame on
我可以将我的悲惨失败归罪于一系列事物上
Might give me a way out
这也许会让你感到些许解脱
But with each turn
但每转一个弯
It's this front and center
都有新的前方和中心
Like a dart stuck square in your eye
就像一支飞镖正如你眼球中心
Every post you can hitch your faith on
每一个声明都有你关联的信仰
Is a pie in the sky
是天空中的一块派
Chock full of lies
溢满了谎言
A tool we devise
我们发明的工具
To make sinking stones fly
让那些下沉的石块飞翔
And still to come
但是避免不了的是
The worst part and you know it
你也知道最坏的情况是怎样
There is a numbness
你的心底生出麻木之感
In your heart and it's growing
只增不少,永不停止
