The Queen of Hearts

It's the search for a church in the bottom of your purse
在你的钱包底搜寻一座教堂
A spiritual home that you can take to the mall
一个你可以带去购物中心的精神家园
You dig and you dig but you can only find your wallet
你挖呀挖 但你只能找到钱包
And your phone with a hundred missed calls
和有一百个未接来电的手机
You could never return them all
你永远也回不完
And I watch you with your purse from the adjacent coffee table
我在邻座看着你和你的钱包
At the Starbucks they built inside my heart
在我心里建筑的星巴克里
When your makeup starts to run I can see you're getting older
当你的妆容褪去 我看见你在慢慢变老
I can see your life has been hard
我看见你的生活越来越艰难
Your face is worn like an old playing card
你的脸像是老旧纸牌般褶皱
The Queen of Hearts
红心皇后
I am working in my bedroom, I'm composing all the music
我在卧室里工作 在创作歌曲
For a film that will never by made
给一个永远不会被拍出来的电影
It's the story of my life, a 1, 000, 000-hour epic
关于我人生的故事 一个一百万小时的史诗
About a good man who went down in flames
关于一个在火焰中泯灭的好人
Who got lost in God's multitude of names
淹没于上帝众多子民之中的好人
I am searching, I am searching, I am waving my antennae
我在搜寻 晃动着我的触角
Trying to pick up some signal through this dream
试着在这场梦中捕获一些信号
I'm an ant in a hill, but I think and I feel
我是山中蝼蚁 但我有思想有感情
And I'm composing these love letters to the Queen
我为皇后创作着这些爱的话语
Hoping somebody will see what I mean
希望有人能看懂我的意思

I always heart about God with a wink and a nod
一颦一笑中我感应到了上帝
I guess I took it all too seriously
我想我太过严肃了
But I was five years old and I took what I was told
但我那时五岁 别人说什么我都照做
To mean that the sublime was in my reach
为了表达崇高亦是我所及
That the ocean of the known ends at the beach
知识海洋最终也会拍打在岸上
Just up the street
靠近街上
But these days people like that are considered aberrations
但现在那样的人们被视为异类
And I'm being corrected as we speak
我也被纠正 像我们谈论的那样
This is my heart, it's a motor, it will search the world over
这是我的心 我的发动机 它会将全世界遍寻
A search engine - see what I mean
一个搜索引擎 这就是我的意思
I don't need the Internet, I don't need TV
我不需要互联网 我不需要电视
To find the Queen the Queen of Hearts
就能找到红心皇后
So if you ever find that church that fits in your purse
所以如果哪天你真找到能安放在钱包里的教堂
Put it into your cold metal shopping cart
把它放进你的金属购物车里
And keep on wandering the aisles on the sick fluorescent tiles
继续徘徊在令人恶心的荧光砖走道上
We'll be miles and miles apart
我们会相隔千里
I've got my own search and I'm still just at the start
我会自己搜索 我才刚刚开始
I'll be out on the highways looking for my counterpart
我会上公路找我的任务点
