Life's for the Living

[offset:0]
乌云如皮筋般环绕小镇
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
汽车宛若塑料玩具
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
男孩子们嘲笑着在雨中狂舞的笨拙之人
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing round in the rain
当干洗店洗着衣服，高跟鞋摩擦脚趾
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rubbed toes
溅起的泥泞驱散公交车站的乌鸦群
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
身着衣靴，他们看起来千人一面
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
我孑然一身来到咖啡馆，看见沉迷书本
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books
和旧唱片的男孩们
And crackling vinyl
他们在便池上刻了一首诗：
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
“别为失去的哭泣
Don't you cry for the lost
为当下微笑
Smile for the living
取予所需，赠予所得
Get what you need and give what you'r given
生者就当享受生活
Life's for the living so live it
否则倒还不如死”
Or you're better of dead
当夜晚召出明月
While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet
星辰如老人外衣上的纽扣般闪耀
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
我们本需要钉子，但在它掉下墙前却只是粗粗固定了一下
We needed a nail but wetacked it 'til it fell off the wall
当鸽子啄着车厢，火星闪得飞快
While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
雨水在油污中露出彩虹
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
我们都拥有新手机，却没有人可以打给
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
我蹒跚着来到小镇中心
And i stumbled down to the stomach of the town
那儿有个寡妇沉浸在回忆中
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
把手指向天空，眼里泪光朦胧，她说：
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
“别为失去的哭泣
Don't you cry for the lost
为当下微笑
Smile for the living
取予所需，赠予所得
Get what you need and give what you'r given
生者就当享受生活
Life's for the living so live it
否则倒还不如死”
Or you're better of dead
我已厌倦这个小镇，这片盲人摸索的黑暗
Well i'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
他们夺走你的梦想，并将它囚禁起来
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
只有当你付清房租和贷款才能拿回它们
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
哦这该死的地方，我要走我自己的路
Oh hell with this place, i'll go it my own way
我会伸出大拇指，在这高速上艰难跋涉
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
总有一天，有人会沿着我的路回家
Someday someone must be going my way home
到那时我会用一辆废弃的车做我的床
Till then i'll make my bed from a disused car
垫着绿叶，盖着星辰
With a matress of leaves and a blanket of stars
我会用一针一线将这些话缝入心田
And i'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
“别为失去的哭泣
Don't you cry for the lost
为当下微笑
Smile for the living
取予所需，赠予所得
Get what you need and give what you'r given
生者就当享受生活
You know life's for the living so live it
否则倒还不如死”
Or you're better of dead
别为失去的哭泣
Don't you cry for the lost
为当下微笑
Smile for the living
取予所需，赠予所得
Get what you need and give what you'r given
生者就当享受生活
Life's for the living so live it
否则倒还不如死
Or you're better of dead
