一个中年妇女步履瞒珊 [00:32.02]She carries baskets of clothes to a laundromat
提着篮子来到洗衣店 [00:36.49]While the Mexican children kick rocks into the street
一旁的墨西哥男孩在街上踢着石子 [00:43.29]And they laugh in a language I don't understand
他们用着我听不懂的言语谈笑 [00:47.41]But I love them
但我深爱着他们 [00:50.03]Why do I love them
为何吾爱至深 [00:52.90]So the neighborhood is dimming as I smoke on the porch
因为当我在门廊吸烟之时，我的邻居们正暗自神伤 [01:08.41]And watch the people as they pass enclosed inside their cars
看这人们围堵着他们的车 [01:12.53]And on their faces just anger or disappointment

我希望我可以给他们一些给予 [01:23.64]A consolation what could I offer them
安慰如何 [01:29.25]When they are sad in their suburbs robots water the lawn
当他们伤心地在郊区用着机器人浇灌土地 [01:41.11]And everything they touch gets dusted spotless
所触之地皆是一尘不染 [01:45.91]So they start to believe that they haven't touched anything at all
所以他们开始感觉大家各自为营 [01:52.59]While the cars in the driveway only multiply
当汽车在道路上飞驰 [01:57.20]They are lost in their houses
他们在房子里迷失自己 [02:00.95]I have heard them sing in the shower
我听见他们在浴室高歌 [02:03.82]And making speeches to their sister on the telephone
在电话里和姐妹长篇大论滔滔不竭 [02:08.18]Saying You come home
说 回家吧 回家把 [02:10.54]Darling you come here
亲爱的回家吧 [02:12.47]Don't stay so far away from me
不要把我拒你之外 [02:14.91]This weather has me wanting love more tangible
这糟糕的天气让我更渴望你的爱 [02:19.46]Something I can hold because it's getting cold
我竭力挽留，因为天气愈冷 [02:25.89]So lets hold up our fists to the flame in the sky
让我们向夜空的焰火举起拳头 [02:37.49]To block out the light that is reaching for our eyes
来遮住我们眼前的光明 [02:43.43]Because it would blind us It will blind us
因为我们会被蒙蔽 它将会把我们蒙蔽 [02:52.48]Now I have locked my actions in the grooves of routine
我已经困于生活琐事 [03:01.74]So I may never be free of this apathy
所以我可能难以摆脱冷漠 [03:06.62]But I wait for a letter that is coming to me
但我还是遥望着远方的信笺 [03:13.16]She sends me pictures of the ocean in an envelope
她寄来一张铺着海洋的明信片 [03:18.16]So there still is hope
我一直在等候 [03:20.47]Yes I can be healed
我确定它会带我走出困顿 [03:22.09]There is someone looking for what I concealed in my secret drawer
有人在我记忆深处寻找我所遮掩之处 [03:26.45]In my pockets deep
在我口袋深处 [03:27.83]You will find the reasons that I can't sleep and you will still want me
你将发现我辗转难眠的原因是你仍然需要我 [03:35.61]But will you still want me
但你会让我一直伴你左右吗 [03:41.98]Well I say come for the week
在我到来的这一周 [03:51.15]You can sleep in my bed
我们可以共眠 [03:54.09]And then pass through my life like a dream through my head
你如梦一般穿过了我的生活 [03:59.95]It will be easy I will make it easy
这些是易如反掌的，我可以处理好它 [04:04.02]But all I have for the moment is a song to pass the time
但现在我只是以此歌来消磨时光 [04:24.99]A melody to keep me from worrying
我不会担心旋律是否灵悦 [04:29.73]Oh some simple progression to keep my fingers busy
所需的只是一些连续的音符 [04:37.13]And some words that are sure to come back to me and they will be laughing
那些话语也终会欢笑着会回到我的身边 [04:45.06]My mediocrity My mediocrity
我的庸庸碌碌，我的如此一生
