Gods Of American Success

Gods Of American Success 歌词
White faced phantoms in a foggy rain
雾蒙蒙的雨中 白面的幽灵穿梭而过
Minnows in the pool the way they slip away
小鲦鱼在水池里迅速溜走
And I go fumbling go running in and repossess
我跌跌撞撞 重新追寻到了
The story of my youth
我少时的回忆
The story of my electric pains
我那令人激动的过去
Are we running after flickering sparks oh
我们追寻着那闪光的火花
Are we babbling for diamonds in the dark oh
我们为了黑暗中闪耀的钻石 不懈奋斗
The way we chase that mercury
就如我们追寻着梦中的神使
The way we chase that mercury
就如我们追寻着梦中的神使
Loud like lions in the slickest wool
怒号如雄狮 灵巧如野狼
Desperately we haunt the other animal
不顾一切 我们寻找着自己的猎物
But in the end if all we are is dogs out back chasing cars
但结局表明 我们不过是追赶着汽车的疯狗
Then pray that we don't get the things we want
我们也只能祈祷 不要像我们想象中的那样
Are we running after flickering sparks oh
我们追寻着那闪光的火花
Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark oh
我们为了黑暗中闪耀的钻石 不懈奋斗
The way we chase that mercury
就如我们追寻着梦中的神使
The way we chase that mercury oh
就如我们追寻着梦中的神使
Love a pound of flesh
我们终不过是血肉之躯
Offer it up to the Gods of American success
我们把这具身躯献给美国的成功之神
Doesn't matter what you are you're only second best
无论你是谁 总能将就过去
If it's all that you can ever hope to be
你也只能寄希望于此
The way you chase that mercury oh
就如你追寻着梦中的神使
Around your fumble in the mystery
微弱的火焰在神秘的迷雾中若隐若现
Afraid to be it smells while we pretend to be
害怕被暴露出来 尽管我们假装如此
Something more than what we are
不仅仅是我们的模样
Losing love a bunch run hearts
爱情中的傻瓜 彻夜难眠 跳动的心
Mystified by everything we see
对于所见的一切 都困惑不解
Are we running after flickering sparks oh
我们追寻着那闪光的火花
Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark oh
我们为了黑暗中闪耀的钻石 不懈奋斗
The way we chase that mercury
就如我们追寻着梦中的神使
The way we chase that mercury oh
就如我们追寻着梦中的神使
Oh the way we chase that mercury
就如我们追寻着梦中的神使
The way we chase that mercury oh
就如我们追寻着梦中的神使
Love a pound of flesh
我们终不过是血肉之躯
Offer it up to the Gods of American success
我们把这具身躯献给美国的成功之神
Doesn't matter who you are you're only second best
无论你是谁 总能将就过去
If it's all that you can ever hope to be
你也只能寄希望于此
The way you chase that mercury oh
就如你追寻着梦中的神使
The way you chase that mercury
就如你追寻着梦中的神使
There must be more to this
对此一定有更多等待我们去发现
Our desperate wonder and
我们绝望地四处游荡
How do we put to rest
这一切该如何终止平息
All of our victims and
对于心中的愤懑不平
Beneath the shadows of
在这阴影笼罩之下
All that we think we want
我们以为自己想要的就是这些
Is there a light we can't see
是否有一道我们看不到的光
There must be more to this
对此一定有更多等待我们去发现
Our desperate wonder and
我们绝望地四处游荡
How do we put to rest

Is there a light we can't see
是否有一道我们看不到的光
The way you chase that mercury
就如你追寻着梦中的神使
