Dead in the water
我曾死在水里
It's not a paid vacation

The sons and daughters of city officials

Attend demonstrations
都来参加我的演唱会
It's hardly a sink or swim
这里被围得水泄不通
When all is well if the ticket sells
音乐会门票大卖
Out with a wimper
与我这样一个懦弱的人出门
It's not a blaze of glory
并不光彩
You look down from your temple
从舞台上看下去
As people endeavor to make it a story
人们努力着让这场演唱会成为一段佳话
And chisel a marble word
然后镌刻石碑之上
But all is lost if it's never heard
但都是丢失了故事从来没有被听过
But I've got someone to make reports
但得有人给我汇报一下
That tell me how my money's spent
告诉我 我的钱都是怎么花的
To book my stays and draw my blinds
预定我的场地 为我拉下我的百叶窗
So I can't tell what's really there
所以我也不知发生了什么
And all I need's a great big congratulations

You pay attention for me
你们注视着我
As strange as it seems

I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
要是连你们都忽视我 我倒不如消失
The ground may be moving fast
也许大地一直在悄然掠动
But I tied my boots to a broken mast
但我把靴子系在一根折断的桅杆上
The difference is clear
区别很是明显
You throw it in your cauldron
你就这样把它扔在你的大锅里束之高阁
Rust and veneer dusk and dawn
日复一日外表已经锈迹斑斑
Steinways and Baldwins

You start with a simple stock of all the waste
要不是你们让我这废物重生
And salt to taste

But damn my luck and damn these friends
我是多么庆幸 有这帮铁哥们
That keep on combing back their smiles
他们一直对我保持微笑
I save my grace with half-assed guilt
