Late Home Tonight, Pt. I

Standing at the window
站在窗邊
A farmers wife in Oxford shire
一個牛津郡的農夫之妻瞥向鍾表
Glances at the clock; its nearly time for tea
快到下午茶的時間了
She doesnt see
她全然未察覺
The phantom in the hedgerow dip its wings
籬牆上飄過的影子，像是拍了拍翅膀
Doesnt hear the engine sing
她也全然沒聽見引擎響聲
But in the cockpits techno glow
但飛行艙裡，科技舞曲震耳欲聾
Behind the Ray Ban? shine
雷朋墨鏡後面呢？一雙眼睛閃耀著
The kid from Cleveland
他是從克利夫蘭來的孩子
In the comfort of routine
原本享受著平淡的生活
Scans his dials and smiles
看著他的撥號盤，微笑著
Secure in the beauty of military life
但現在卻被困在了軍旅生涯
There is no right or wrong
哪裡來的對與錯
Only tin cans and cordite and white cliffs
只有錫罐，無菸火藥，白色懸崖陰暗的地道
And blue skies and flight flight flight
還有藍色天空，無休止的飛行
The beauty of military life
軍旅生活的美啊
No questions only orders and flight, only flight
不接受問題，只下達命令，只有無休止的飛行
What a beautiful sight in his wild blue dream
然而小時候，他狂野的藍天夢多美啊
The eternal child leafs through his war magazine
這長不大的孩子匆匆翻閱他的戰況雜誌
And his kind Uncle Sam feeds ten trillion in change
看到他和善的山姆大叔(喻指美國政府)將十萬億的資金
Into the total entertainment combat video game
都投入到這格鬥遊戲的娛樂之中
And up here in the stands
看台上
The fans are going wild
粉絲們都激動了
The cheerleaders flip
你翻昇機架的時候
When you wiggle your hip
啦啦隊長們也都在蹦跳
And we all like the bit when you take
我們都喜歡你
The jeans from the refrigerator and
射出子彈的樣子
Then the bad guy gets hit
擊落敵機
And were you struck by the satisfying way
然後你以一個令人滿意的，頗具美感的角度被擊中
The swimsuit sticks to her skin
你想起，泳衣緊貼著她的皮膚
Like BB gun days
就像還在迷戀空氣槍的日子
When knives pierce autumn leaves
尖刀刺穿秋葉
But thats okay see the children bleed
你甚至覺得看著孩子們流血，完全沒關係的
Itll look great on the TV
電視上看起來會很震撼
And in Tripoli another ordinary wife
在的黎波里(利比亞首都)，另一個普通的人婦
Stares at the dripping her old man hadnt
盯著漏水的房子
Time to fix
她的丈夫卻沒有時間去修護
Too busy mixing politics and rhythm
他太忙了，忙著在下面的街上
In the street below
將政治融於旋律之中
