（柔和的音乐）

♪ 我四处闲逛，只是人群中的一个面孔 ♪

♪ 试图让自己不沾雨水 ♪

♪ 看见一个流浪王，戴着泡沫塑料王冠 ♪

♪ 想知道我是否也会变成那样 ♪

♪ 有个人站在街角 ♪

♪ 唱着关于变迁的老歌 ♪

♪ 如今人人都有自己的十字架要背负 ♪

♪ 她来寻找一点庇护 ♪

♪ 手提箱里装满了梦想 ♪

♪ 前往大道上的汽车旅馆房间 ♪

♪ 我想她想成为詹姆斯·迪恩那样的人 ♪

♪ 她见过所有的追随者，也见过所有的模仿者 ♪

♪ 如今没人想做自己 ♪

♪ 然而，除了这些日子，已无可依靠的东西 ♪

♪ 如今，星星高悬，遥不可及 ♪

♪ 如今，街上没有梯子可爬 ♪

♪ 哦，不，不 ♪

♪ 如今时光匆匆，什么都不会持久 ♪

♪ 在这毫无慈悲的时代 ♪

♪ 如今只剩我们俩了 ♪

♪ 吉米·舒斯，他的双腿都摔断了 ♪

♪ 试图学会飞翔 ♪

♪ 从二层的窗户向外看 ♪

♪ 他直接跳下，闭上了眼睛 ♪

♪ 他妈妈说他疯了 ♪

♪ 他对妈妈说，我得试一试 ♪

♪ 你难道不知道，我所有的英雄都已经死去 ♪

♪ 我宁愿死去，也不愿慢慢消逝 ♪

♪ 嗯 ♪

♪ 如今，星星高悬，遥不可及 ♪

♪ 嗯 ♪

♪ 但如今，街上没有梯子可爬 ♪

♪ 哦，不，不 ♪

♪ 如今时光匆匆，什么都不会持久 ♪

♪ 这是一个毫无慈悲的时代 ♪

♪ 甚至纯真也搭上了午夜列车 ♪

♪ 如今只剩我们俩了 ♪

♪ 我知道罗马仍在燃烧 ♪

♪ 虽然时代已变 ♪

♪ 这个世界不停旋转 ♪

♪ 如今日复一日，循环往复 ♪

♪ 如今，星星高悬，遥不可及 ♪

♪ 嗯 ♪

♪ 但如今，街上没有梯子可爬 ♪

♪ 哦，不，不 ♪
