The Distance

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
不情願地蹲在起跑線上
Engines pumping and thumping in time
發動機及時地砰砰發動
The green light flashes, the flags go up
綠燈閃爍旗幟升了起來
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
熱血沸騰的他們渴望得到獎杯
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
對於等級而言他們有熟練的技巧和肌肉
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
空罐快速地燃燒燃料
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
他們魯莽而狂野紛紛轉身
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern
他們的力量是強大的暗地裡不動搖
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
當他們快速通過終點時旗幟就降下來了
The fans get up and they get out of town
粉絲們站起來他們走出市中心
The arena is empty except for one man
體育場空蕩蕩的只有一個人在
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
仍然盡他最快的速度努力駕馭
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
夕陽落下明月升起
And long ago somebody left with the cup
很久以前有人拿著獎杯離開了
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
但他還在努力奮斗在縛緊轉彎
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns

He's going the distance, he's going for speed

She's all alone, all alone in her time of need

Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course

He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
他在戰斗在緊咬在騎著他的馬
He's going the distance
他要賽完全程
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
沒有獎杯沒有鮮花沒有閃光燈沒有酒
He's haunted by something he cannot define
他被一些自己都無法解釋的東西困擾著
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
內心震動的質疑和悔恨
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force
攻擊他用魔鬼卡車般的力量刺穿他
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
在他看來他還在騎還能取得好成績
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
她希望她自己的回憶最終會漸漸消逝
'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
因為他在比賽在領先在繪製路線
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
