Gods Of American Success

White faced phantoms in a foggy rain
霧濛濛的雨中白面的幽靈穿梭而過
Minnows in the pool the way they slip away
小鰷魚在水池裡迅速溜走
And I go fumbling go running in and repossess
我跌跌撞撞重新追尋到了
The story of my youth
我少時的回憶
The story of my electric pains
我那令人激動的過去
Are we running after flickering sparks oh
我們追尋著那閃光的火花
Are we babbling for diamonds in the dark oh
我們為了黑暗中閃耀的鑽石不懈奮鬥
The way we chase that mercury
就如我們追尋著夢中的神使
The way we chase that mercury
就如我們追尋著夢中的神使
Loud like lions in the slickest wool
怒號如雄獅靈巧如野狼
Desperately we haunt the other animal
不顧一切我們尋找著自己的獵物
But in the end if all we are is dogs out back chasing cars
但結局表明我們不過是追趕著汽車的瘋狗
Then pray that we dont get the things we want
我們也只能祈禱不要像我們想像中的那樣
Are we running after flickering sparks oh

If its all that you can ever hope to be

Around your fumble in the mystery
微弱的火焰在神秘的迷霧中若隱若現
Afraid to be it smells while we pretend to be
害怕被暴露出來儘管我們假裝如此
Something more than what we are
不僅僅是我們的模樣
Losing love a bunch run hearts

Mystified by everything we see
對於所見的一切都困惑不解
