Cause

Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
在圣诞节来临两周前我失去了工作
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
我在下水道（酒吧）对耶稣倾诉
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
主教说这不是他该管的破事儿
While the rain drank champagne
雨醉了
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
我的爱莎尼亚大天使也到来把我喝的烂醉
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted
最甜蜜的吻是我还未曾品尝过的
Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
哦他们会把奖金付给莫莉.麦克唐娜
Neon lady, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
霓虹灯下的女人，美丽在于她们买卖或虚假的顺从，
Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumors
我的心成为塞满沽名的黑店
But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners
但它为这些长脸变声者支付租金

而且我每晚都能结交16份半小时的坚固友谊
And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening
你的红桃皇后是半块石头
Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone
喜欢独自欢笑 总以离开威胁你
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
哦他们在威利.汤姆逊身上玩这种象征游戏
Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
并且授予勋章给安妮.强森女士的儿子
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
他们告诉我每个人都要还清欠款
Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues
然后我解释说我已经超额支付了他们
And I explained that I had overpaid them
所以逾期我去了企业内部商店

那儿的职员说他们被侵扰
So overdued I went to the company store
我含着眼泪从门口逃走
And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
她的香水味还在我脑中回旋
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
我看到人们想要淹没太阳
Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
在威士忌发酵的周末
Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
你能多少次从漫画书中醒来
In weekends of whiskey sours
去种植鲜花
Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book
And plant flowers?
