All the Rowboats

All the rowboats in the paintings
在油畫上的所有小船
They keep trying to row away
不斷在試圖劃走
And the captains' worried faces
船長憂心忡忡的面孔
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
扭曲地盯著浪頭
They'll keep hanging in their gold frames
他們一直掛在金色的畫框中
For forever, forever and a day
永遠永遠地掛在那裡
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
在油畫上的所有小船
They keep trying to row away, row away
不斷在試圖劃走

聽見他們在悄聲說話
Hear them whispering French and German
用法語德語荷蘭語拉丁語和意大利語
Dutch, Italian, and Latin
趁沒人在看，我悄悄摸了一下雕塑
When no one's looking I fetch a sculpture
是大理石質，金色的，柔軟如緞
Marble, gold, and soft as satin
但最特別的恰恰是最孤獨的
But the most special are the most lonely
天那，我真同情那些小提琴
God, I pity the violins
他們在水晶棺裡不斷地咳嗽
In glass coffins they keep coughing
已經忘記怎樣歌唱了
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing, how to sing
燈光熄滅了，門被鎖上了

名畫其實是最高的刑罰
First there's lights out, then there's lock up
成為永恆是他們自己的過錯
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
那肯定是有代價和後果的
It's their own fault for being timeless
那所有的畫廊和博物館
There's a price to pay and a consequence
這是你的門票，歡迎來到墳墓
All the galleries, the museums
他們只是些公共陵墓
Here's your ticket, welcome to the tombs
活著的死人充滿了每間屋子
They're just public mausoleums
但最特別的恰恰是最孤獨的
The living dead fill every room
天那，我真同情那些小提琴
But the most special are the most lonely
他們在水晶棺裡不斷地咳嗽
God, I pity the violins
已經忘記怎樣歌唱了
In glass coffins they keep coughing
他們一直掛在金色的畫框中
They've forgotten, forgotten how to sing
永遠永遠地掛在那裡

在油畫上的所有小船
They will stay there in their gold frames
不斷在試圖劃走
For forever, forever and a day
燈光熄滅了，門被鎖上了
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
名畫其實是最高的刑罰
They keep trying to row away, row away
成為永恆是他們自己的過錯

那肯定是有代價和後果的
First there's lights out, then there's lock up
那所有的畫廊和博物館
Masterpieces serving maximum sentences
永遠永遠地待在那裡
It's their own fault for being timeless
在油畫上的所有小船
There's a price to pay and a consequence
不斷在試圖劃走
All the galleries, the museums
在油畫上的所有小船
They will stay there forever and a day
不斷在試圖劃走
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away…
