Alright, I'm on Johnson Avenue in San Luis Obispo 好吧，我对约翰逊大道圣路易斯奥比斯波

And I'm five years old or six, maybe 而我五十岁，六，也许

And indications that there's something wrong with our new house 和迹象表明有什么东西不对我们的新房子

Trip down the wire twice daily 每日两次，一趟下来的电线

   

I'm in the living room watching the Watergate hearings 我在客厅看水门事件听证会

While my stepfather yells at my mother 虽然我的继父骂我的母亲

Launches a glass across the room, straight at her head 启动一个玻璃对面的房间里，直盯着她的头

And I dash upstairs to take cover 我飞奔上楼拿盖

   

Lean in close to my little record player on the floor 靠近瘦到地板上我的小唱机

So this is what the volume knob's for 原来这就是音量旋钮的对

I listen to dance music 我听音乐跳舞

Dance music 舞曲

   

Okay, so look, I'm 17 years old 好了，你看，我17岁

And you're the last, best thing I've got going 而你是我拿到了最后，最好的东西去

But then the special secret sickness starts to eat through you 但由于当时特殊的秘密疾病开始吃你通过

What am I supposed to do? No way of knowing 我该怎么办？知道的没办法

   

So I follow you down your twisting alleyways 于是我跟着你失望的扭曲小巷

Find a few cul de sacs of my own 找到我自己的一些小路去囊

There's only one place this road ever ends up 还有这条路永远结束了只有一个地方

And I don't want to die alone 而我不想独自死去

   

Let me down, let me down, let me down gently 让我失望​​，让我失望，让我轻轻地

When the police come to get me 当警察来接我

I'm listening to dance music 我在听音乐跳舞

Dance music 舞曲
