歌词
A restlessness took hold my brain
有种焦虑在我的心头萦绕
And questions I could not hold back
有些问题我忍不住去回想
An orange monkey on a chain
链上的橙色小猴
On a bleak uneven track
荒凉崎岖的小路
Told me that to understand
它告诉我
You must travel back in time
你必须回到过去
I took a plane to a foreign land
我乘上国外航班
And said, "I'll write down what I find"
写下“我会记下我所找到的一切”
白雪皑皑的山脉下(阿富汗山区)
Beneath a mountain's jagged shelves
终年是积雪和阴影
Cloaked with snow and shadows sheer
板块碰撞铸成一切(亚欧和印度板块)
Plates tipped up upon themselves
五千万年前的伤痛
The pain of fifty million years
骡子和山羊狂奔
And mules and goats were running wild
幸福与混乱同行
A happy chaos carried on
老人和孩子笑了
And old men and the young boys smiled
直到很多年过后
And worked until the day was gone
一群沙色狗
街道旁的破旧房屋
The packs of sandy-coloured dogs
但岩石灰尘和烟雾
Walked streets that looked like building sites
挡不住不同的光线
But piles of rocks and dust and smog
当我回来跑去会面
Could not block out a different light
猴子还在但神色已变
When I returned I ran to meet
它直立在我的面前
The monkey, but his face had changed
小路已成为公路
He stood before me on two feet
The track was now a motorway
