The casino doesn't like when you run the tables

赌场庄家不喜欢你把把都赢

And though the box is wrapped up nice it's just a cage to you

即使礼物包装得无比精美 对你而言只是一座牢笼

Those electric fences buzz a stallion flees the stable

那些电围栏滋滋作响 骏马逃离马厩

And that small town's even smaller now in your rearview

出现在你后视镜里的那座小镇变得愈发渺小

You ran with all the wild things

你尽情享受着疯狂自由的生活

A liberated libertine

化身为无拘无束的浪子

Who then longed for home

随后又开始思念家乡

'Cause it's where you're from

因为这是你的故乡

Aunt Virginia with her church dress on

弗吉尼亚阿姨穿着庄重典雅的礼裙

No elbows on the table and the neighbor's lawn always looked better

不能用手肘撑着桌面 邻居家的草坪总是更加绿意盎然

Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall

你的那件旧毛衣 本应该是从商场买来的新衣服

And you hate this song

你讨厌这首歌

But you wake up on the train with your headphones gone

但你在列车上醒来时发现耳机不翼而飞

Then that melody is all you want

那首歌就是你心中唯一的念想

You never knew that it was Babylon

你永远不知道这就是巴比伦王国

Till it was gone

直到一切消失殆尽

Give the people what they want

满足大众的需求

Then you keep it moving

然后你继续前行

Make your plans and friends a stranger's makeup on your tie

制定计划 结识朋友 你的领带上残留着陌生人的妆痕

Twenty watches in the safe

保险箱里摆放着二十块手表

'Cause your time is money

因为你的时间就是金钱

Love is ice upon the ladder that you need to climb

爱就像是寒冰 凝结在你需要攀登的阶梯之上

She captured your attention

她吸引你的注意力

So free of all pretension

毫无半点矫揉造作

It stopped you cold

令你目瞪口呆

Because she loved you so

因为她深爱着你

Pretty as a picture that you didn't post

美丽迷人 好似你从未发布过的照片

Looking at you like you're made of solid gold

注视着你 好像你弥足珍贵 无可替代一样

Never official

从未确立正式关系

You mention you're single to the girls at the bar

在酒吧里 你对女孩们说你是单身

You hate this song

你讨厌这首歌

But you wake up on the train with your headphones gone

但你在列车上醒来时发现耳机不翼而飞

And then that melody is all you want

那首歌就是你心中唯一的念想

You never knew that it was Babylon

你永远不知道这就是巴比伦王国

Till it was gone

直到一切消失殆尽

You're using

你把对过去的怀念

Nostalgia as a weapon to hurt yourself

变成武器 不断地伤害自己

But darling

但是亲爱的

You end up hurting everybody else

最终你会对所有人造成伤害

The self-harm of never being where you are

沉溺于过往无异于是自我摧残

It's bedtime but you're sitting in your car

现在应该酣然入睡 但你却枯坐在车里

You're missing all the best parts

你错过所有美好的时光

And they're all at home

然而这些美好都在家里

She's hanging Christmas lights with your son

她和你的儿子一起悬挂圣诞彩灯

Sneaking to the bathroom to call her mom

偷偷溜进洗手间 给她的妈妈打去电话

And say it's not working

说这一切无济于事

It's just not worth it if we're not what he wants

如果我们无法满足他的期待 那一切就不值得

But you love this song

但你喜欢这首歌

You wake up on the train with your headphones gone

你在列车上醒来时发现耳机不翼而飞

Then that melody is all you want

那首歌就是你心中唯一的念想

You never knew that it was Babylon

你永远不知道这就是巴比伦王国

And now it's almost gone

如今一切几乎消失殆尽

Aunt Virginia with her church dress on

弗吉尼亚阿姨穿着庄重典雅的礼裙

No elbows on the table and the neighbor's lawn always looked better

不能用手肘撑着桌面 邻居家的草坪总是更加绿意盎然

It's almost gone

一切几乎消失殆尽

Your hand-me-down sweater should've been from the mall

你的那件旧毛衣 本应该是从商场买来的新衣服

But you love this song

但你喜欢这首歌

You wake up on the train and you're all alone

你在列车上醒来 发现自己孤身一人

Then that memory is all you want

那段回忆就是你心中唯一的念想

You never knew that it was Babylon

Till it was gone

直到一切消失殆尽
