Sober in the morning light 清醒在清晨的阳光

Things look so much different 事情看起来如此多的不同

To how they looked last night 他们如何昨晚看了

A pale face pressed to an unmade bed 按下一个整理的床一张苍白的脸

Like flags of many nations flying high above her head 像许多国家的国旗在她头顶高高飘扬

   

The cellophane still on the flowers 玻璃纸仍然在花

The telegram still in her hand 电报仍然在她的手

As whispers circulate all day 由于窃窃私语循环一整天

Their back-stage baby princess passed away 他们后台的宝宝公主去世

   

And you can cage the songbird 你可以笼鸣禽

But you can't make her sing 但你不能让她唱

And you can trap the free bird 你可以捕获自由鸟

But you'll have to clip her wings 但你必须要夹她的翅膀

'Cause she'll soar like a hawk when she flies 因为她会飙升像鹰一样，当她飞

But she'll dive like an eagle when she dies 但她将深入像鹰一样，当她去世

   

Promises of no more lies 没有更多的谎言承诺

Fell flat upon an empty stage 在空荡荡的舞台倒扁

Before the audience arrived 在观众的到来

A return in time to the cheaper seats 在时间上更便宜的座位回报

She never knew what lay beneath 她从来不知道了底下

Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets 只是一个过时的传单，他们找到了张之间

   

Let down before the final curtain 在最后一幕才放下

A shallow heart that left her cold 浅心脏的离开了她的冷

She left in rouge upon the mirror 她在镜子留在胭脂

A circled kiss to the faithful who'd miss her 带圈的吻友们谁愿意错过她
