the riff

I met Mr. Death this morning
今早我見到了死神先生
He offered me a ride.
他說我時無多日
I said I think Im not quite ready yet
我說我還沒完全準備好
To travel by your side.
與你一起上路
'Practice what you preach'
練習你的佈道
Then said the count of shadowlands
影子大地說到
'It doesnt hurt to take a peek'
偷看一眼沒什麼大不了的
He grinned and grabbed my hand.
他咧嘴一笑抓住了我的手
I sat in the leather seat
我坐在他的雪佛蘭麵包車
Of his Chevy van
裡邊的皮椅上
The motor screamed like a pack of rats
馬達尖銳的轟鳴聲
In a frying pan.
像一打老鼠在熱油滾滾的鍋裡發出的尖叫
The headlights were shooting sparks
頭燈被射碎
And the tyres spinning flames
輪胎轉出火花
'Well alrighty then'
那麼好吧
He said and opened up his case
他一邊說一邊打開了他的箱子
The grim reaper played guitar
死神彈奏著吉他
His bony fingers cold and stiff
他的骨指冷又硬
The sonic thunder froze my heart
雷聲冰凍了我的心
As he cranked out the Riff.
他來了一段重複片段

是的，重複片段
Oh, yeah, the Riff!
他的歌曲結束了

他要我不要說謊
Then his song was over
我覺得有一點困難
And he asked me not to lie
但我敢於批評
I felt a bit uneasy
我告訴他，重複片段非常棒
But I dared to criticize
但其他部分很糟糕
I told him, 'Man, the riff is a killer
他看起來很失望
But the rest is a throw-away'
但他還是說，啊，沒關係
His face looked disappointed
我問他演出過了嗎
But he said, 'Ah, its ok'
魔鬼他得到了什麼
I asked him, has he shown
他一開始在譜曲
The devil what hes got
但後來就不寫了
'Hes written hits
所以魔鬼失去了聯繫
But lately he has not'
他不能聞到一丁點
So the devils out of touch
因為他失去了意識
And he cannot smell a hit
面對著狗屎嘻哈
'Cuz he has lost his mind
死神彈奏著吉他
With all that hip-hop ****'
他的骨指冷又硬
The grim reaper played guitar
雷聲冰凍了我的心
His bony fingers cold and stiff
他來了一段重複片段
The sonic thunder froze my heart
是的，重複片段
As he cranked out the Riff.
我清醒過來發現麵包車翻了

我的身體在流血
Oh, yeah, the Riff!
我們一定衝出了馬路

死神幾乎不能說話了
I woke up and the van was upside down
他說，聽著，你要取代我的位置
My body bleeds
我大限將至
We must have crashed right off the road
我說，不好意思伙計，我有點忙
And Death could barely speak.
但是可以告訴你，這首曲子歸我了
He said, 'Listen you gotta take my place
然後故事如此發展...
Im leaving office soon'
死神彈奏著吉他
I said, 'Im sorry dude, Im kinda busy
他的骨指冷又硬
But tell you what: Ill take the tune'
雷聲冰凍了我的心
And it goes like this...
他來了一段重複片段

死神彈奏著吉他
The grim reaper played guitar
他的骨指冷又硬
His bony fingers cold and stiff
雷聲冰凍了我的心
The sonic thunder froze my heart
他來了一段重複片段
As he cranked out the Riff.
他來了一段重複片段
The grim reaper played guitar
他來了一段重複片段
His bony fingers cold and stiff
他來了一段重複片段
The sonic thunder froze my heart
他來了一段...
As he cranked out the Riff.

He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the...
