taxi

It was raining hard in Frisco
舊金山大雨正傾盆
I needed one more fare to make my night
我等待著今夜最後一單
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
一位女士招手喚我停車
She got in at the light
她裹著夜色上了車
Oh, where you going to, my lady blue
噢，憂鬱的女士，你要去哪
Its a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
真抱歉大雨弄髒了你的華服
She just looked out the window, she said
她只是看向窗外說
'Sixteen Parkside Lane'
公園路16號
Something about her was familiar
她有著熟悉的感覺
I could swear Id seen her face before
我發誓曾見過她的臉
But she said, 'Im sure youre mistaken'
但她說，你一定認錯了
And she didnt say anything more
然後便不再說話
It took a while , but she looked in the mirror
過了一會，她看向車裡的後視鏡
And she glanced at the license for my name
看向執照中我的名字
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
她臉上緩緩浮現笑容
It was a sad smile, just the same
憂愁的笑，昔日重現
And she said, 'How are you Harry?
'她說，“哈利，你還好嗎”
I said, 'How are you Sue?
我說，“蘇，你還好嗎
Through the too many miles
距離很遠
And the too little smiles

I still remember you'
但我沒忘記你“
It was somewhere in a fairy tale
昨日宛如童話
I used to take her home in my car

We learned about love in the back of the Dodge

The lesson hadnt gone too far

You see, she was gonna be an actress

And I was gonna learn to fly

She took off to find the footlights

And I took off to find the sky

Whoa, Ive got something inside me
在靈魂深處
To drive a princess blind
我能迷惑公主
Theres a wild man, wizard
有一個巫師
Hes hiding in me, illuminating my mind

Oh, Ive got something inside me
在靈魂深處
Not what my lifes about
並不是我現在的生活
Cause Ive been letting my outside tide me
因為我被現實
Over till my time, runs out
裹挾了太久太久
Babys so high that shes skying

Yes shes flying, afraid to fall
畏懼墜落
Ill tell you why babys crying
我會告訴你她為什麼在哭
Cause shes dying, arent we all
因為她正死去，正如我們
There was not much more for us to talk about
言語停滯
Whatever we had once was gone
昨日已逝
So I turned my cab into the driveway
車頭轉向道路
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns
身後是她家大門和草坪
And she said we must get together

But I knew itd never be arranged
但我知道這不可能
And she handed me twenty dollars

For a two fifty fare, she said

Well, another man might have been angry

And another man might have been hurt

But another man never would have let her go
但那個男人則能讓她離開
I stashed the bill in my shirt

And here, shes acting happy
此時此刻，她表演著快樂
Inside her handsome home

Taking tips, and getting stoned
收著小費，終日迷醉沉淪
I go flying so high, when Im stoned
在迷幻中沖向雲霄
