New Routine
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
兩個男人坐在餐廳的一角
他倆看起來都有點像卡爾.雷納（美國演員名）
Both of them look quite a bit like Carl Reiner
其中一人吞雲吐霧儘管有明令禁止（吸煙）
女服務生前來阻止他，可他說癮太大了忍不住
One of them is smoking even though the sign says not to
他們重複著他們彼此熟悉的老笑話
他們談論著房產，生產，好市多超市等現實話題
The waitress says to stop he says sorry but Ive got to
當他們吃完離開時在桌上留了20美分小費
女服務生過來收掉吃剩的麵包圈和小費
They tell each other jokes that they both know that they both know
當她漂泊的時光結束時，她決定回到紐約的米尼奧拉
但現在她還是坐在沙發上，一邊喝著健怡可樂一邊抱怨道：
They talk about real estate prostates Costco
我真的，真的受夠了這個地方！我如此渴望生活出現新的變化
我只是尋覓一種嶄新的生活方式
And when they finish up they leave a twenty on the table
所以她轉動手中的地球儀，想必你已猜到接下來的故事了
她現在生活在列支敦士登（瑞士和奧地利之間的小公國）
The waitress picks it up with their half-eaten bagels
可她不通德語，只會簡單的西語交流
但幾週過後，她認為自己還是可以勉強應付
And when her shift is over she goes back to Mineola
但在這除了銀行交易和滑雪沒有它事可做
Sits on the couch opens up a diet cola and says
所以她和她剛見面不久的男友分手了
Im so Im so sick of this place Im so ready for a change of pace
他用一輛柴油版奔馳把她送到了機場
Im just looking for a new routine
他回想自己：我在女人面前顯得如此軟弱，我
So she spins her globe and the next thing you know
我簡直，簡直恨透了這個地方
Shes living in Liechtenstein
我期盼自己的生活迎來新的轉機
我不過是在尋求一種美好的新生活
She doesnt speak German only high school Spanish
於是他緊壓著自己的帽子
在地圖上畫了一個目標
But within a few weeks she discovers she can manage
如今他居住在鮑靈格林（美國城市名）
他一路打拼
But theres not much going on except for banking and skiing
在拉昆塔酒店得到了一份工作
為他的女經理所傾倒
So she breaks up with the man that she just started seeing
但她正打算回加拿大
她已輾轉過勞阿諾克（美國城市名），雷克雅維克（冰島首都）和羅馬
He drops her at the airport in a diesel Mercedes
她明白他很好，但她現在只想踏上歸家的旅途
Thinks to himself Im so feeble with the ladies and I
兩個男人一起坐在飯館的一邊
Im so Im so sick of this place
其中一人興致勃勃地談及去中國的旅行
Im so ready for a change of pace
自稱這是趁風華正茂之時就該去做的事之一
Im just looking for a new routine
（另一個男人說）你的好意我心領了，到了中國幫我帶個春捲回來吧
So he grabs his cap
幫我帶回來吧（也暗指這幾個故事的循環往復）
Throws a dart at a map
And now hes living in Bowling Green
He talks his way into
A job at La Quinta
Falls for the manager
Whos moving back to Canada
Shes tried Roanoke Reykjavik Rome
Says youre really sweet but I just want to go home
Two men sit in the corner of a diner
One of them says I might take a trip to China
Its one of those things we should do before were too old
Thanks but no thanks bring me back an egg roll
Bring it back
