Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in for a pack of cigarettes
You don't smoke, don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up like a car crash
Your wheels are turning but you're upside down
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Oh now, is that what it is?
绿灯了
你走进7-11去买包烟
你从不吸烟，甚至也不想尝试
嘿，拿好你的零钱 *
伪装成一场车祸
车轮仍在转动但你已经被彻底颠覆
你说他撞了你，可你不介意
因为他伤害你的时候，你感觉自己活着
哈，这就是你要的？
Red light, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in to watch the adverts
You could lip synch to the talk show hosts
红灯，灰色的清晨
你从地上的坑中爬出来
一个吸血鬼还是一个受害者
那得看旁边站着谁
你习惯窝在家中盯着电视广告
你可以和访谈节目的主持人对上口型
And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And when I touch you, you don't feel a thing
如果你凝视，目光会穿我而过
当你自言自语，你说给旁边的我
当我碰触你的时候，你不会有任何感觉。
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay... and the day would keep its trust
Stay... and the night would be enough
如果我可以停留，也许黑夜会放弃纠缠
停留……那么白昼会遵守它的诺言
停留……那么黑夜会就此终结
Faraway, so close
Up with the static and the radio
With satellite television
You can go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast and Berlin
天涯相隔，咫尺之间
借着静电的噪音和收音机
借着卫星电视
你可以到任何世界的任何地方
迈阿密，新奥尔良
伦敦，贝尔法斯特和柏林
And if you listen I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you
即使你静听，我也无法发出声音
如果你纵身飞下，你只会坠落
如果你呐喊，我将只能聆听
If I could stay... then the night would give you up
Stay... then the day would keep its trust
Stay... with the demons you drowned
Stay... with the spirit (that) I've found
Stay... and the night would be enough
如果我可以停留……那么黑夜会放弃纠缠
停留……那么白昼也不会将你背叛
停留……与那将你淹没的魔鬼一起
停留……与我找寻到的勇气一起
停留……那么黑夜会就此终结
Three o'clock in the morning
It's quiet and there's no one around
Just the bang and the clatter
As an angel runs to ground
凌晨三点
万籁俱寂，空无一人
只是一声闷响和一片铿锵
一个天使冲入凡间
Just the bang
And the clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground
只是一声闷响
和一片铿锵
一个天使
落入凡间
