Vox Humana

I haunted a basketmaker's shop
我常在欄架式購物店出沒
Spending my days ripping pictures from magazines
耗盡一天時間從雜誌上裁剪照片
Taping them to the walls of my prison
把它們貼在我的牢籠裡
I remember walking by the sand
我記得曾順著走過海灘
Each knob represented a different frequency range
每一個把手後傳來不同的波段
And I remember holding the hand of the skeleton prince
也記起曾握著骷髏王子的手
And he swept me into his arms
他把我擁入了懷裡
And he,he had tremolo deep
深沉的顫音
In the back of his black eye sockets
迴盪在他黑洞洞的眼眶後
And he said
他說：
'Do you want to come away with me
“你可否與我一起
Into the pitch black pool?'
沉入黑暗的池沼？”
And I said
我回答：
'I don't know...I don't know,I don't know'
“不...我不知道”
Photocopied,the wind ripped through the trees
帶著樹影婆娑風拂過樹木
And all the stained-glass windows rattled
彩色的玻璃窗被刮動作響
I haunted a basketmaker's shop in 1927
1927年我常在欄架式購物店出沒
And on the beach in the summer there were thunderstorms constantly
夏日的海灘上暴雨不斷
And they were unpredictable
陰雨天難以預及
Nobody knew when they would come and nobody knew how long they'd last
無人知曉它們的來臨或者何時散去
Sometimes they'd only last five minutes and sometimes weeks
有時五分鐘有時連續五週
I haunted a basketmaker's shop
我常在欄架式購物店出沒
Because I had nowhere to go one long weekend
因為漫長的周末我無處可待
Stained -glass windows turning off and on
彩色的玻璃窗隨著拂過的風微微晃動
And the tremolo in the back dark corners
黑暗處發出的顫音
Cobwebs stripped,mildewed
蛛網結了又落慢慢腐朽
I remember acoustic guitars and bells
記起原聲吉他與鈴鐺作響
I remember the cathedral
記得主教堂
I remember cassettes,cathedral
記得被時間掩蓋的磁帶 以及教堂
I remember cassette,cathedral
記得被時間掩蓋的磁帶 以及教堂
