the old matchbook trick

The last time that i came here
上次我來這裡的時候
I came down with a fever
我發著燒
The next day it was gone
第二天燒退了
With the suddenness of ist arrival
就像它來的那麼突然
When we all were much younger
當我們更年輕時
Were we really different
我們真的有所不同嗎？
In the really real world we knew
在真實的世界裡，我們知曉
Last night i saw the sun rise
昨夜我看見日出
Over sleepy barcelona
在昏昏欲睡的巴塞羅那
Riding on a bus
坐著公交車
With the road crew from embrace
While everyone was sleeping
當所有人都在沉睡
I noticed a reflection
我注意到了一處倒影
And saw the egg upon my face
然後看到了我面容的年齡

關於在克里斯蒂安醒來
The last thing i remember
我記起的最後一件事是
About waking up in kristiansand
當牙刷擦過我的舌頭時
Was gagging on my toothbrush
乾嘔
As it brushed across my tongue
和免職了一個喝醉的水手
And removed a drunken sailor
付了他酒吧和色情書刊的單
Paid his bar and porno bill
必須要給他沖洗一下
Gonna have to ****** hose him down
這清晰讓人眩目

糊塗的中間人在哪？
The clarity is blinding
這溫柔的傻瓜
Wheres the befuddled middleman
用他的喜劇和幽默
The gentle goofus
隔開了群眾
With his comedy and wit
局促、凌亂地
Spaced out in the crowd
從你的指尖落到他的手上
With the cramped and the cluttered
從你的指尖落到他的手上
Falls from your fingers to his hand
火柴盒的老把戲
Falls from his fingers to your hand
讓桌子不再搖晃
The old matchbook trick
賽在短腿底下
Keeps the table from wobble
便穩固住了
Slipped under the short leg
懸殊對話的不穩定
Steadies the unsteadiness
讓手臂和思想
Of the lopsided conversation
有個可以休息的地方
Makes a solid place to rest
Arms and thought upon
