One Headlight, Wallflowers

One Headlight
單燈走天涯

So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
不複記憶的多年以前
據說就在連最後一個朋友都離我而去的那個時候
又說她的死因是甚麼心碎不癒症
這些消息都是
從墓園的樹林那頭傳來

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place
葬禮那天,我看到太陽在破曉時升起
人類制定的法律還是有鞭長莫及之時
現在回頭看怎能要我不嘆息
她的臉龐依然美麗如昔
她到底是怎麼捱過這地方的催殘

Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
嘿,再試一下嘛
沒有所謂的永遠
除了平凡一定還有更好的
但是我和辛德瑞拉都擺平一切了
哪怕只剩一顆頭燈,我們都能開回家


She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
她說好冷
感覺好像是國慶日遊行喔
而我卻無法脫隊
前方一定有個缺口
就在醜陋和貪婪所搭造的迷宮之中

And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
我看到太陽在前頭升起
就在郡邊界的那座橋上時
在那兒待上一輩子是不錯,但寂寥又了無生氣
在她沒氣前,我們都會不停向前狂奔
她也不顧一切地向前狂奔
說她到盡頭了,也不過只是她的窗台而已

(chorus)

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
這地方真是老舊得可以了
感覺就像台破舊卡車
我轉動鑰匙,引擎卻動也不動
價廉質劣的菸酒味四溢
這地方沒救了

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me
有時候我巴不得看這地方失火
我孤獨到感覺自己像個陌生人
我可沒變,但是就是不同了
夢想總默默地在這城市的一角死去
我想她一走也帶走了我的生命

(chorus)
