• 歌手: The Distillers

歌詞:

[English]

[中文]

It's going down, tonight in this town

今晚，这城市要沉沦

'Cause they stare and growl, they all stare and growl

因为他们怒目而视，他们都怒目而视

I take a scar, everytime I cry

每哭一次，我就添一道伤

'Cause it ain't my style, no, it ain't my style

因为这不是我的风格，不，这不是我的风格

Going down to the gravel, head to the barrel

走下碎石路，头朝枪口

Take this life and end this struggle

结束此生，了结这挣扎

Los Angeles, come scam me, please

洛杉矶，来骗我吧，求你

Emptiness never sleeps at Cliftons 6:00 a.m.

凌晨六点，Cliftons里空虚永不眠

With your bag lady friend and your mind descending

带着你的流浪女伴，你的理智在崩溃

Stripped of the right to be a human in control

被剥夺了作为人来掌控的权利

It's warmer in Hell, so down we go

地狱更温暖，所以我们下坠

They say this is the city

他们说这是座城市

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

天使之城，我看到的却是折翼

They say this is the city

他们说这是座城市

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

天使之城，我看到的却是折翼

It's a ghost town, rabid underworld

这里是鬼城，狂暴的地下世界

Dionysian night, vitriolic twilight

狄俄尼索斯之夜，尖刻的黄昏

A mirage come up, it never ends

海市蜃楼升起，永无止境

Once you get burnt, you're never the same

一旦被灼伤，就再也不一样

Left behind, erased from time

被抛弃，从时间中抹去

Ain't no decency in being boxed up alive

活埋毫无尊严可言

Look around, ain't no R.I.P. signs here

看看四周，这里没有安息的标志

We don't rest in peace, we just disappear

我们不安息，我们只是消失

So here we are, Los Angeles

所以我们在这里，洛杉矶

No angels singing in your valley of unease

在你令人不安的山谷里没有天使歌唱

I watch the sun roll down the Pacific

我看着太阳滚落太平洋

Over hookered Sunset Strip

越过寻欢作乐的日落大道

They say this is the city

他们说这是座城市

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

天使之城，我看到的却是折翼

They say this is the city

他们说这是座城市

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

天使之城，我看到的却是折翼

There's a black moon tonight

今晚有黑色的月亮

Ain't shining down on the western neon lights

没有照耀西方的霓虹灯

There's a black moon tonight

今晚有黑色的月亮

Ain't shining down on the western neon lights

没有照耀西方的霓虹灯

They say this is the city

他们说这是座城市

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

天使之城，我看到的却是折翼

They say this is the city

他们说这是座城市

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

天使之城，我看到的却是折翼

They say this is the city

他们说这是座城市

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

天使之城，我看到的却是折翼

They say this is the city

他们说这是座城市

The city of angels, all I see is dead wings

天使之城，我看到的却是折翼
