Life's For the Living (Acoustic)

Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
烏雲籠罩像一個大大的橡皮圈包裹著小鎮
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
街上的汽車像是由台灣塑料製成的玩具
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
男孩大笑著在雨中狂魔亂舞的人群
While laundrettes cleaned clothes high heals rub toes
當乾洗店洗著衣服，高跟鞋磨著腳趾
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
路旁的水坑濺到公交車站烏壓壓的人們身上
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
穿上了製服與皮靴大家長得都一樣沒有區別
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
我一人來到咖啡館，看到所有的男孩都沉浸在書中，還有噼劈啪啪的翻書聲
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
小便池上刻著一首詩
Don't you cry for the lost
別為失去的哭泣
Smile for the living
為剩下的微笑
Get what you need and give what you're given
給予你的到的，才會得到你需要的
Life's for the living so live it
活著就好好的享受生活
Or you're better off dead
要么你還不如去死
While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
夜晚把月亮掏出它的兜子
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
星星像一個老紳士襯衫上閃亮的釦子
We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
我們需要指甲但是當我從牆上摔下了才想著用它
While pigeon's pecked trains sparks flew like planes
雖然鴿子的喙很小，但是卻像飛機一樣閃耀
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
雨也會讓油污露出彩虹的微笑
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
我們都有了新手機，但是沒有人打電話
And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
我困在了市中心
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
街燈恍惚讓記憶如水般緩緩流淌
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
她說她將一隻手伸向天空眼裡迷霧濛濛
Don't you cry for the lost
別為失去的哭泣
Smile for the living
為剩下的微笑
Get what you need and give what you're given
給予你的到的，才會得到你需要的
Life's for the living so live it
活著就好好的享受生活
Or you're better off dead
要么你還不如去死
Well I'm sick of this town this blind man's forage
我厭惡這個城市，這些盲目的掠奪者
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
他們掠奪你的夢想將它囚禁起來
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
當你還清了房租與貸款的時候你才配擁有它
Oh hell with this place I'll go it my own way
哦這是個什麼鬼地方，我要走我自己的路
I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
我會伸出拇指和跋涉在高速公路上
Someday someone must be going my way home
有一天一個人一定要回到自己的家
Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
直到他們用廢棄的車給我搭了一個床
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
隨著緩緩飄零的葉子還有漫天的星辰
And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
我一針一線將這些話縫進我的心裡
Don't you cry for the lost
別為失去的哭泣
Smile for the living
為剩下的微笑
Get what you need and give what you're given
給予你的到的，才會得到你需要的
You know life's for the living so live it
活著就好好的享受生活
Or you're better off dead
要么你還不如去死
Don't you cry for the lost
別為失去的哭泣
Smile for the living
為剩下的微笑
Get what you need and give what you're given
給予你的到的，才會得到你需要的
Life's for the living so live it
活著就好好的享受生活
Or you're better off dead
要么你還不如去死
