The Hole

Behind the house
房子的後面
The ground has opened up
地面張開了
And it's so deep, a hole
那裡有個洞那麼深
It's bottom can' t be found
深到找不著底
It sucks the air inside and makes quiet sea sounds
它把空氣吸進去發出微弱的潮聲
We sometimes stand
我們有時會站在那
And linger at the edge
逗留在洞口邊
We like to dare each other how close that we can get
我們會互相慫恿看誰能離得更近
And there's a pact we made, if one should fall, the other follows in.
並且訂下約定萬一有人掉進去了其他人也要跟進去
Started small with trash and rotten food
一開始只是垃圾和腐爛的食物
And then the neighbors came with cars and diving boards too
後來鄰居們也加入了扔下破車和跳水板
Then the government, midnight dumps of what we never knew
再後來是政府他們半夜傾倒垃圾和我們永遠無法知道的東西
A letter came the other day from clear around the globe
後來有一天地球的另一邊寄來一封信
It said œwe hope that you're the ones on the other end of the hole
信上說我們希望是洞口另一邊的你們收到了信
Could you take a few things back, our country's getting full
能不能請你們把東西拿回去一些因為我們的國家被堆滿了
Behind the house, the ground has opened up...
房子的後面地面張開了
