The king of the swinging moods is back in town 摆动情绪的王回来了

and everybody's tiptoeing around him, surround him 和大家的身边踮着脚尖，环绕他

as he pounds a silver hammer, drops revolutionary grammar 当他捣银锤子，下降革命语法

concerning the burning of city hall and urban sprawl and decay 关于市政府和城市扩张和衰退的燃烧

(bidding so long) （投标这么久）

   

Farewell to the days of having it both ways 永别了，有左右逢源的日子

Hell is other people, some people never learn 他人即地狱，有些人永远学不会

When optimism fails and my cooler head prevails 当乐观的失败，我的冷头为准

I will meet you at the point of diminishing returns 我会满足你的收益递减点

   

Down in the abstract, looking for a concrete artifact: 相传在抽象的，找一个具体的神器：

something to hold on to, not one more thing to believe in 东西扶住，没有一件事相信

Stuck in a fall-back, and fighting off a heart attack 卡在回退，并击退一个心脏发作

and you're so tangible, Like a nitroglycerin tablet under my tongue 和你是如此有形的，就像在我的舌头上的硝酸甘油片

   

Farewell to the days of having it both ways 永别了，有左右逢源的日子

The boom's a bust out, but thanks for your concern 经济繁荣是一个萧条了，但感谢您的关注

Progress shall be defined by your position on the bridge as it burns 进度由你的立场上的桥梁被定义为它燃烧

When populism, activism, urbanism fail, 当民粹主义，行动主义，城市化失败，

my cooler head -- my cooler head will prevail 我冷头 - 我冷头为准

When there are no more gods left to anoint 当没有更多的神留给膏

no more noses to bend out of joint 没有更多的鼻子弯曲脱节

I'm gonna meet you at the point of diminishing returns 我会满足你的收益递减点
