歌词
Distant solar systems and all the minor planets
遥远的太阳系 和所有小行星
Know nothing of our satellites and 747s
对我们的卫星和747飞机一无所知
Fireworks that recreate the birth of constellations
烟火重现了群星的诞生
Dying suns that laugh at shotgun powder imitations
濒死的太阳嘲笑着伪劣的猎枪火药
那时 我是水手 头顶碧空 脚踏漆黑的汪洋
When I am a sailor, and the sky, a pitch-black ocean
我垂首看向自己滴血的心 只愿自己是火神伏尔甘
I'll look down at my bleeding heart and wish I were a Vulcan
拜占庭的建筑 教堂和各式屋宇
我们所有的宝藏 石油和黄金
Its Byzantine structures, churches and all
所有的帝王在石块中碎成粉齑
All of our treasure of oil and gold
所有的建筑镀上了铬金
All of the empires crumble in stone
我和上帝的通信时有时无
Great architecture gilded in chrome
我在路上寄出明信片 他有时也会回复我
北国的回响 和所有至上的王朝
God and I, we correspond with intermittent letters
无尽的地平线上 冒出绣针的针尖
I send postcards from the road, and now and then he answers
我知道 图景已然展开
Echoes northern city-states, and all the mighty kingdoms
远在你想为之唱颂之前
Head of sewing needles on an unending horizon
称你自己为无耻之徒
我知道你就像个孤儿
I knew there was a scene before you
那些科学或文学的伟人
Ever thought to sing it
都无法打动我 我能给出些什么呢
And call yourself a bastard
我是你脑中的凿刀
And I know you like an orphan
通过立式麦克风向大理石嘶嚷
'Cause great men of science and literature
Don't impress me, what can I offer?
Because I am a chisel in your hand
Screaming at marble from a microphone stand
