River Man

River Man - The Flaming Lips
水上人-烈焰紅唇樂隊

貝蒂順道來到我身邊
Betty came by on her way
說她有句話非說不可

關於今天的事
Said she had a word to say
還有落葉

說她聽到了消息
About things today
然而沒有選擇的時間

只有一條路走向失去
And fallen leaves
但她相信著

要去看看水上人
Said she hadn't heard the news
要去告訴他我能做的

我的計劃是什麼
Hadn't had the time to choose
和紫丁香相伴

如果他告訴我他知道的
A way to lose
他的河水如何流向大海

所有夜晚的表演
But she believes
仲夏夜的夢

貝蒂說她今天做了禱告
Going to see the river man
希望天空被風吹走

又也許原樣不動
Going to tell him all I can
她現在記不清了

因為當她想到夏天的雨
About the plan
又一次敲打她的心門

她失去的只是痛苦
For lilac time
為此留下的要更多

要去看水上人
If he tells me all he knows
要去告訴他我能做的

我的阻礙是什麼
About the way his river flows
不再感到自由了

如果他告訴我他知道的
And all night shows
他的河水如何流向大海

我卻無法覺得
In summertime
這就是給我的秘訣

啊他們總是來了又走
Betty said she prayed today
啊他們總是來了又走

For the sky to blow away

Maybe stay

She wasn't sure

For when she thought of summer rain

Calling for her mind again

She lost the pain

And stayed for more

Going to see the river man

Going to tell him all I can

About the ban

On feeling free

If he tells me all he knows

About the way his river flows

I don't suppose

It's meant for me

Oh how they come and go

Oh how they come and go
