这首《Flightless Bird,American Mouth》是一首忧伤的“美国梦”的挽歌,出自专辑《The Shepherd‘s Dog》,但令这首歌声名鹊起,重焕生机的却是电影《暮光之城》(Twilight),歌曲被用在了影片结尾舞会一幕,Bella & Edward 踏着这温柔的乐曲,相拥轻舞..........



I was a quick wet boy 我曾是个爱哭的男孩

Diving too deep for coins 苦苦积攒着那些硬币

All of your street light eyes 而你们冷酷漠然的眼神

Wide on my plastic toys 打量着我的塑料玩具

And when the cops closed the fair 而警察已关起集市

I cut my long baby hair 我剪掉了我幼稚的长发

Stole me a dog-eared map 破旧卷角的地图被偷了

And called for you everywhere 于是我四处呼唤你的名字

Have I found you? 我找到你了吗?

Flightless bird, 折翼之鸟,

jealous, 充满着妒忌

weeping 回荡着哭泣

Or lost you? 亦或失去了你,

American mouth 美好的梦?

Big pill looming 1 遗失的美好,正渐渐清晰

Now I’m a fat house cat 现在的我, 像只肥胖的家猫

Nursing my sore blunt tongue 舔着疼痛僵硬的舌头

Watching the warm poison rats 看着刚被毒死的老鼠

Curl through the wide fence cracks 卷缩着穿过篱笆的缝隙

Pissing on magazine photos 唾弃杂志上的照片

Those fishing lures 2 把这些诱惑

thrown in the cold and clean 扔进冰冷纯净的

Blood of Christ mountain stream 基督山涧深处

Have I found you? 我找到你了吗?

Flightless bird, 折翼之鸟,

brown hair bleeding 棕色的羽翼滴落鲜血

Or lost you? 我失去你了吗?

American mouth 美好的梦

Big pill 遗失的美好

stuck going down 一直深深地烙印在心中
