Life's for the Living

[offset:0]
烏云如皮筋般環繞小鎮
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
汽車宛若塑料玩具
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
男孩子們嘲笑著在雨中狂舞的笨拙之人
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing round in the rain
當乾洗店洗著衣服，高跟鞋摩擦腳趾
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rubbed toes
濺起的泥濘驅散公交車站的烏鴉群
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
身著衣靴，他們看起來千人一面
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
我孑然一身來到咖啡館，看見沉迷書本
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books
和舊唱片的男孩們
And crackling vinyl
他們在便池上刻了一首詩：
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
“別為失去的哭泣
Don't you cry for the lost
為當下微笑
Smile for the living
取予所需，贈予所得
Get what you need and give what you'r given
生者就當享受生活
Life's for the living so live it
否則倒還不如死”
Or you're better of dead
當夜晚召出明月
While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet
星辰如老人外衣上的鈕扣般閃耀
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
我們本需要釘子，但在它掉下牆前卻只是粗粗固定了一下
We needed a nail but wetacked it ' til it fell off the wall
當鴿子啄著車廂，火星閃得飛快
While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
雨水在油污中露出彩虹
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
我們都擁有新手機，卻沒有人可以打給
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
我蹣跚著來到小鎮中心
And i stumbled down to the stomach of the town
那兒有個寡婦沉浸在回憶中
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
把手指向天空，眼裡淚光朦朧，她說：
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
“別為失去的哭泣
Don't you cry for the lost
為當下微笑
Smile for the living
取予所需，贈予所得
Get what you need and give what you'r given
生者就當享受生活
Life's for the living so live it
否則倒還不如死”
Or you're better of dead
我已厭倦這個小鎮，這片盲人摸索的黑暗
Well i'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
他們奪走你的夢想，並將它囚禁起來
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
只有當你付清房租和貸款才能拿回它們
You can have them back son when you 've paid off your mortgage and loans
哦這該死的地方，我要走我自己的路
Oh hell with this place, i'll go it my own way
我會伸出大拇指，在這高速上艱難跋涉
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
總有一天，有人會沿著我的路回家
Someday someone must be going my way home
到那時我會用一輛廢棄的車做我的床
Till then i'll make my bed from a disused car
墊著綠葉，蓋著星辰
With a matress of leaves and a blanket of stars
我會用一針一線將這些話縫入心田
And i'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
“別為失去的哭泣
Don't you cry for the lost
為當下微笑
Smile for the living
取予所需，贈予所得
Get what you need and give what you'r given
生者就當享受生活
You know life's for the living so live it
否則倒還不如死”
Or you're better of dead
別為失去的哭泣
Don't you cry for the lost
為當下微笑
Smile for the living
取予所需，贈予所得
Get what you need and give what you'r given
生者就當享受生活
Life's for the living so live it
否則倒還不如死
Or you're better of dead
