Sitting here wasted |
|
kū zuò zài cǐ |
|
And wounded at this old piano |
|
zài zhè jià lǎo gāng qín qián àn zì shén shāng |
|
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning |
|
nǔ lì xiǎng bǔ zhuō jīn tiān zǎo chén de shí kè |
|
I don' t know |
|
què bù míng bái |
|
' Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head |
|
zhǐ yīn yī zhěng píng de fú tè jiā hái tíng liú zài wǒ nǎo hǎi lǐ |
|
And some blond gave me nightmares |
|
yǒu jīn fà měi nǚ gěi le wǒ è mèng lián lián |
|
I think she' s still in my bed |
|
wǒ xiǎng tā hái tǎng zài wǒ chuáng shàng |
|
As I dream about movies |
|
wǒ mèng jiàn le diàn yǐng qíng jié |
|
They won' t make of me when I' m dead |
|
dāng wǒ sǐ shí, méi yǒu rén huì zài yì |
|
With an ironclad fist I wake up |
|
fǎng fú bèi huī le yī jì tiě quán bān, wǒ xǐng guò lái |
|
And French kiss the morning |
|
rán hòu shì fǎ shì de zǎo ān zhī wěn |
|
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head |
|
jūn lè duì de xíng jìn jié zòu hái zài wǒ nǎo hǎi zhōng zuò xiǎng |
|
While we' re talking |
|
wǒ liǎ tán lùn zhe |
|
About all of the things that I long to believe |
|
nèi xiē wǒ yī zhí jiān xìn de shì qíng |
|
About love and the truth and what you mean to me |
|
nà shi guān yú ài zhēn lǐ hé nǐ duì wǒ de yì yì |
|
And the truth is baby you' re all that I need |
|
shì shí shàng, bǎo bèi! nǐ jiù shì wǒ de yī qiè |
|
I want to lay you on a bed of roses |
|
wǒ yào ràng nǐ ān shuì zài méi guī huā chuáng shàng |
|
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails |
|
jīn wǎn, wǒ jiāng shuì zài tiě dīng chuáng shàng |
|
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is |
|
wǒ yào qīn jìn nǐ, rú tóng shǒu hù líng yì bān |
|
And lay you down on bed of roses |
|
ràng nǐ ān shuì zài méi guī huā chuáng shàng |
|
Well I' m so far away |
|
wǒ shēn zài yuǎn fāng |
|
That each step that I take is on my way home |
|
wǒ tà chū de měi yī bù dōu shì guī tú |
|
A king' s ransom in dimes I' d given each night |
|
měi wǎn, wǒ dōu zài zhī fù guó wáng de shú jīn |
|
Just to see through this payphone |
|
yīn wèi zhè fù fèi diàn huà |
|
Still I run out of time |
|
dàn wǒ yī rán hào jǐn le shí jiān |
|
Or it' s hard to get through |
|
nà zhēn shì nán áo a!! |
|
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you |
|
zhí dào diàn xiàn shàng de niǎo ér dài wǒ fēi huí nǐ shēn biān |
|
I' ll just close my eyes and whisper |
|
wǒ zhǐ néng bì shàng shuāng yǎn qīng tàn |
|
Baby, blind love is true |
|
bǎo bèi, máng mù dì ài shì qiān zhēn wàn què de |
|
The hotel bar hangover whiskey' s gone dry |
|
lǚ guǎn jiǔ bā sòng lái de wēi shì jì yǐ jǐn |
|
The barkeeper' s wig' s crooked |
|
jiǔ bǎo de jiǎ fà shì juǎn de |
|
And she' s giving me the eye |
|
tā gēn wǒ shǐ le gè yǎn sè |
|
I might have said yeah |
|
wǒ yě xǔ shuō: hǎo |
|
But I laughed so hard I think I died |
|
dàn wǒ xiào de hěn miǎn qiáng, wǒ xiǎng wǒ sǐ dìng le |
|
When you close your eyes |
|
dāng nǐ bì shàng shuāng yǎn |
|
Know I' ll be thinking about you |
|
hěn qīng chǔ wǒ huì xiǎng niàn nǐ |
|
While my mistress she calls me |
|
dāng wǒ de ài rén hū huàn wǒ |
|
To stand in her spotlight again |
|
hū huàn wǒ zài dù zhàn zài tā de jù guāng dēng xià |
|
Tonight I won' t be alone |
|
jīn wǎn, wǒ bù huì gū dān |
|
But you know that don' t mean I' m not lonely |
|
dàn nǐ zhī dào nà bù dài biǎo wǒ bù huì jì mò |
|
I' ve got nothing to prove |
|
wǒ wú fǎ ná chū rèn hé zhèng míng |
|
For it' s you that I' d die to defend |
|
wǒ shì sǐ hàn wèi de, jiù shì nǐ........ |
