The Riff
I met Mr. Death this morning
今早我见到了死神先生
He offered me a ride.
他说我时无多日
I said I think I'm not quite ready yet
我说我还没完全准备好
To travel by your side.
与你一起上路
"Practice what you preach"
练习你的布道
Then said the count of shadowlands
影子大地说到
"It doesn't hurt to take a peek"
偷看一眼没什么大不了的
He grinned and grabbed my hand.
他咧嘴一笑抓住了我的手
I sat in the leather seat
我坐在他的雪佛兰面包车
Of his Chevy van
里边的皮椅上
The motor screamed like a pack of rats
马达尖锐的轰鸣声
In a frying pan.
像一打老鼠在热油滚滚的锅里发出的尖叫
The headlights were shooting sparks
头灯被射碎
And the tyres spinning flames
轮胎转出火花
"Well alrighty then"
那么好吧
He said and opened up his case
他一边说一边打开了他的箱子
The grim reaper played guitar
死神弹奏着吉他
His bony fingers cold and stiff
他的骨指冷又硬
The sonic thunder froze my heart
雷声冰冻了我的心
As he cranked out the Riff.
他来了一段重复片段
是的，重复片段
Oh, yeah, the Riff!
他的歌曲结束了
他要我不要说谎
Then his song was over
我觉得有一点困难
And he asked me not to lie
但我敢于批评
I felt a bit uneasy
我告诉他，重复片段非常棒
But I dared to criticize
但其他部分很糟糕
I told him, "Man, the riff is a killer
他看起来很失望
But the rest is a throw-away"
但他还是说，啊，没关系
His face looked disappointed
我问他演出过了吗
But he said, "Ah, it's ok"
魔鬼他得到了什么
I asked him, has he shown
他一开始在谱曲
The devil what he's got
但后来就不写了
"He's written hits
所以魔鬼失去了联系
But lately he has not"
他不能闻到一丁点
So the devil's out of touch
因为他失去了意识
And he cannot smell a hit
面对着狗屎嘻哈
"Cuz he has lost his mind
死神弹奏着吉他
With all that hip-hop ****"
他的骨指冷又硬
The grim reaper played guitar
雷声冰冻了我的心
His bony fingers cold and stiff
他来了一段重复片段
The sonic thunder froze my heart
是的，重复片段
As he cranked out the Riff.
我清醒过来发现面包车翻了
我的身体在流血
Oh, yeah, the Riff!
我们一定冲出了马路
死神几乎不能说话了
I woke up and the van was upside down
他说，听着，你要取代我的位置
My body bleeds
我大限将至
We must have crashed right off the road
我说，不好意思伙计，我有点忙
And Death could barely speak.
但是可以告诉你，这首曲子归我了
He said, "Listen you gotta take my place
然后故事如此发展...
I'm leaving office soon"
死神弹奏着吉他
I said, "I'm sorry dude, I'm kinda busy
他的骨指冷又硬
But tell you what: I'll take the tune"
雷声冰冻了我的心
And it goes like this...
他来了一段重复片段
死神弹奏着吉他
The grim reaper played guitar
他的骨指冷又硬
His bony fingers cold and stiff
雷声冰冻了我的心
The sonic thunder froze my heart
他来了一段重复片段
As he cranked out the Riff.
他来了一段重复片段
The grim reaper played guitar
他来了一段重复片段
His bony fingers cold and stiff
他来了一段重复片段
The sonic thunder froze my heart
他来了一段...
As he cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the...
