The Queen of Hearts
It's the search for a church in the bottom of your purse
在你的錢包底搜尋一座教堂
A spiritual home that you can take to the mall
一個你可以帶去購物中心的精神家園
You dig and you dig but you can only find your wallet
你挖呀挖但你只能找到錢包
And your phone with a hundred missed calls
和有一百個未接來電的手機
You could never return them all
你永遠也回不完
And I watch you with your purse from the adjacent coffee table
我在鄰座看著你和你的錢包
At the Starbucks they built inside my heart
在我心裡建築的星巴克里
When your makeup starts to run I can see you're getting older
當你的妝容褪去我看見你在慢慢變老
I can see your life has been hard
我看見你的生活越來越艱難
Your face is worn like an old playing card
你的臉像是老舊紙牌般褶皺

紅心皇后
I am working in my bedroom, I'm composing all the music
我在臥室里工作在創作歌曲
For a film that will never by made
給一個永遠不會被拍出來的電影
It's the story of my life, a 1, 000, 000-hour epic
關於我人生的故事一個一百萬小時的史詩
About a good man who went down in flames
關於一個在火焰中泯滅的好人
Who got lost in God's multitude of names
淹沒於上帝眾多子民之中的好人
I am searching, I am searching, I am waving my antennae
我在搜尋晃動著我的觸角
Trying to pick up some signal through this dream
試著在這場夢中捕獲一些信號
I'm an ant in a hill, but I think and I feel
我是山中螻蟻但我有思想有感情
And I'm composing these love letters to the Queen

Hoping somebody will see what I mean

I always heart about God with a wink and a nod
一顰一笑中我感應到了上帝
I guess I took it all too seriously
我想我太過嚴肅了
But I was five years old and I took what I was told
但我那時五歲別人說什麼我都照做
To mean that the sublime was in my reach
為了表達崇高亦是我所及
That the ocean of the known ends at the beach
知識海洋最終也會拍打在岸上
Just up the street
靠近街上
But these days people like that are considered aberrations
但現在那樣的人們被視為異類
And I'm being corrected as we speak
我也被糾正像我們談論的那樣
This is my heart, it's a motor, it will search the world over
這是我的心我的發動機它會將全世界遍尋
A search engine - see what I mean
一個搜索引擎這就是我的意思
I don't need the Internet, I don't need TV
我不需要互聯網我不需要電視
To find the Queen the Queen of Hearts
就能找到紅心皇后
So if you ever find that church that fits in your purse
所以如果哪天你真找到能安放在錢包裡的教堂
Put it into your cold metal shopping cart
把它放進你的金屬購物車裡
And keep on wandering the aisles on the sick fluorescent tiles
繼續徘徊在令人噁心的熒光磚走道上
We'll be miles and miles apart
我們會相隔千里
I've got my own search and I'm still just at the start
我會自己搜索我才剛剛開始
I'll be out on the highways looking for my counterpart
我會上公路找我的任務點
The Queen of Hearts
紅心皇后
