Paper Tigers

Well I've Been Huddled Up Alone
我曾经独自一人蜷缩在温暖的壁炉前
By The Fire Even Though
尽管我并不感到寒冷
I'm Not Exactly Feeling Cold
我也在过去的几天里穿的像熊一样保暖
And I've Been Bundled Up For Days
我自己都对这种莫名的行为感到困惑了，困惑之后难以置信的空虚
Too Confused To Be Amazed
我的静脉里似乎流淌着刺骨的冰水
At All The Icy Water In My Veins
为什么此刻我感觉如此孤独呢？
Why Do I Feel So Alone?
我曾经搬进这座历史久远的老屋子，然后又逃离了它
Yeah I've Been Moving In And Out
我只是希望尽快将整个屋子烧毁
Of This Old Split-Level House
因为我辞去了在伐木场的工作——用卡片去建立一座大厦
And I'd Just As Soon Burn The Whole Place Down
但是我可以感觉到在那些纸糊的墙的下面是不为人知的脆弱
Cause I Quit Working Lumberyards
为何此刻我感觉如此孤独呢？
To Build A Mansion Out Of Cards
因为最愤怒的怒吼总是比普通的身体创伤还要糟糕
But I Feel Thin Behind These Paper Walls
就像我胸口传来的疼痛一样它不请自来
Why Do I Feel So Alone?
但是如果最美好的浪漫也不再完美
Cause The Angriest Bark Is Always Worse Than The Bite
这将会让每一份爱迷失 在每一个假期的夜晚
Like The Ache In My Chest That My Heart Didn't Invite
在那个你们所看不见的地下室里画了一整夜的画
But If The Prettiest Romance Isn't Perfectly Right
画出一只只黑白相间的纸老虎
That Makes Every Love Lost Just A Holiday Every Night
明天下午我将画一只氦（化学元素）色的气球
Well I've Been Painting Through The Night
然后，将它们放飞在那婴儿蓝的天空
In The Basement Out Of Sight
所以它们以后将不再孤单
Brushing Paper Tigers Black And White
因为最愤怒的怒吼总是比普通的身体创伤还要糟糕
Cause Come Tomorrow Afternoon
就像我胸口传来的疼痛一样它不请自来
I'll Fill A Helium Balloon
但是如果最美好的浪漫也不再完美
And Set Them Free Into The Baby Blue Sky
这将会让每一份爱迷失，在每一个假期的夜晚
So They Won't Have To Be Alone
但是当我将那些在黑暗背后沉重的盖子盖上之后
Cause The Angriest Bark Is Always Worse Than The Bite
每一个甜蜜的梦境都是一个靶
Like The Ache In My Chest That My Heart Didn't Invite
我所有的子弹都毫无偏差的正中幸福的红心
But If The Prettiest Romance Isn't Perfectly Right
因为最愤怒的怒吼总是比普通的身体创伤还要糟糕
That Makes Every Love Lost Just A Holiday Every Night
就像我胸口传来的疼痛一样——它不请自来
But When I Close These Heavy Lids After Dark
但是如果最美好的浪漫也不再完美
Each Sweet Dream Is A Target
这将会让每一份爱迷失，在每一个假期的夜晚
And All My Shots Are So Consistently Wide Of The Mark
只是在每一个假期的夜晚
Cause The Angriest Bark Is Always Worse Than The Bite
只是在每一个假期的夜晚
Like The Ache In My Chest That My Heart Didn't Invite
只是在每一个假期的夜晚
But If The Prettiest Romance Isn't Perfectly Right
我曾经独自一人蜷缩在温暖的壁炉前
That Makes Every Love Lost Just A Holiday Every Night
尽管我并不感到寒冷
Just A Holiday Every Night
但是我的新是怎样擦出那条痕迹的呢？
Just A Holiday Every Night
是当纸老虎的尾巴飘落下来的时候么？
Just A Holiday Every Nigh
我想我我永远都不会明白吧？
Well I've Been Huddled Up Alone
By The Fire Even Though
I'm Not Exactly Feeling Cold
But How My Heartache Hit The Trail
When A Paper Tiger Tail
Fluttered Down, I Guess I'll Never Know
