cause

Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas
在聖誕節來臨兩週前我失去了工作
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer
我在下水道（酒吧）對耶穌傾訴
And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business
主教說這不是他該管的破事兒
While the rain drank champagne
雨醉了
My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted
我的愛莎尼亞大天使也到來把我喝的爛醉
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one Ive never tasted
最甜蜜的吻是我還未曾品嚐過的
Oh but theyll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald,
哦他們會把獎金付給莫莉.麥克唐娜
Neon lady, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed
霓虹燈下的女人，美麗在於她們買賣或虛假的順從，
Cause my hearts become a crooked hotel full of rumors
我的心成為塞滿沽名的黑店
But its I who pays the rent for these fingered- face out-of-tuners
但它為這些長臉變聲者支付租金

而且我每晚都能結交16份半小時的堅固友誼
And I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening
你的紅桃皇后是半塊石頭
Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone
喜歡獨自歡笑總以離開威脅你
And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving
哦他們在威利.湯姆遜身上玩這種象徵遊戲
Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson
並且授予勳章給安妮.強森女士的兒子
And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson
他們告訴我每個人都要還清欠款
Cause they told me everybodys got to pay their dues
然後我解釋說我已經超額支付了他們
And I explained that I had overpaid them
所以逾期我去了企業內部商店

那兒的職員說他們被侵擾
So overdued I went to the company store
我含著眼淚從門口逃走
And the clerk there said that they had just been invaded
她的香水味還在我腦中迴旋
So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill
我看到人們想要淹沒太陽
Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still
在威士忌發酵的周末
Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun
你能多少次從漫畫書中醒來
In weekends of whiskey sours
去種植鮮花
Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book
And plant flowers?
