Prayer for the Paranoid

I′ll send you a letter
我从前线
From the frontline
给你寄了一封信

请给我一些鼓励
Please send applause
和一些好的建议
And some good advice
你出生时带着罗盘
You were born with a compass
你的桌上有张地图
A map on your table
告诉我你是怎么发现的

你的方向是错的
Tell me how did you find out
愿你为我们祈祷
Your bearings were wrong
祈祷阳光
Just pray for us
天气转冷
Pray for sunshine
你在我脑海挥之不去

这个城市充满胜利曙光
These days are cold
但我从未想过

我可以选择
And I′m missing you
从一开始就是苍白

从一开始就是平淡
The city is no place to lose
我一直在虚度光阴
Ah, but I never thought
我需要快乐和爱
I could choose
和一些特效药
It was plain from the start
我需要香烟

身后的杀手穷追不舍
Plain from the start
魔鬼在前面威逼
I was playing for time
我将葬身此城
I need laughter and love
我将葬身战壕
Some special drug
已事先为我们修筑的
I need cigarettes
只有一件事剩下

仅存的这件事
There′s killers behind us
就是跑
Devils ahead, send protection
云朵升入天空

我不知道为何
I will drown in this city
吉他从我手中掉落
I will drown in this trench
我屈服了
Built for us
这个城市接纳醉汉

歌手和烂诗人
And the only thing left
他们渴望舞蹈，毒药，和大笑
Yeah the only thing left
我们没有
Is the running
愿你为我们祈祷

祈祷阳光
And these clouds keep on rolling
天气转冷
And I, I don′t know why
你在我脑海挥之不去

这封信表达我对你明眸的想念
Take this guitar right out of my hands
撕了它吧，然后藏起它

你是我唯一的生的希望
I surrender
你就是所有
This town don′t want drunkards
不要让我的希望破灭
Or singers of bad poetry

They want dancing and drugs and laughter
And we don′t have them

Just pray for us
Pray for sunshine
These days are cold
And I′m missing you

This letter was meant for your eyes
Destroy it and then just go hide

You′re the only thing left
That makes any sense
Please don′t blow it
