This cocoon, caught in Vesuvius' shadow 这个茧，夹在维苏威火山“影子

Only the ashes remain 只有留骨灰

And I waited there for you 我在那里等你

Why couldn't you? 你为什么不能？

Here we lie waiting for something to startle 在这里，我们躺在等待着什么惊吓

To shake us from gravity's pull 从引力的牵引动摇我们

And so the sleeping hours are through 这样一来，睡眠时间是通过

What can we do? 我们可以做些什么？

   

The sorry conclusion, the low dirty war, it happened before you came to 惋惜的结论，低肮脏的战争，这你来之前发生的事情

But this is solution, and this is amends 但是，这是溶液，这是功补

The joke always tends to come true 这个笑话总是趋于成真

But there on your windowsill over the unmoving platoon 但是在你的窗台上的一动不动排有

Written in paperback, the view to the quarterback's room 写在纸上，视图以四分卫的房间

Under waning moon 在残月

   

This quiet serves only to hide you 这个安静的只是为了掩饰你

Provide you 为您提供

What I knew: it'd come back to you 我知道：它会回来找你

   

Take this palm, follow the lines here are written 借此掌，按照这里的行写

And script out the rest of your life 和脚本出你的余生

And feel your fingers falling slack and all folding back 感觉你的手指落下松弛和所有折叠

   

The tainted election, the hole in the sky 被感染的选举中，在天空中的孔

Command what is tried, what is true 命令是什么企图，什么是真正的

But without solution, with feet on the ground 但是，如果没有解决方案，脚踏实地

It won't make a sound 'til you're through 它不会发出声音，直到你通过

So loosen your shoulderblades 所以，放松你的肩刃

This is your hour to make due 这是你们的时候做出应有的

Because there on the timberline 由于对山林有

Deep cold November shines through 深冷的月照过

Soft and absolute 软的和绝对的
