I grew up blind just like everyone’s child 我从小就失明，就像每个人的孩子

In the warmth of milk and deceit 在牛奶和欺骗的温暖

Smothered by love and the chemical dust 用爱和化学粉尘闷死

There was never enough to believe 从来就没有足够的相信

   

They chewed me up, they spat me out 他们咀嚼了我，他们吐口水我出去

Of their system and onto their street 他们的系统和他们的上街头

And the rest of my life was a sprint to forget 而我的后半生是一个冲刺忘记

All the greatness that could never be 所有的伟大，可能永远不会

   

Oh beautiful town 哦，美丽的小镇

I remember you blacker than night 我记得你比黑更晚

The whores and the sick-mouths 的妓女和病人，嘴巴

The bad taste and the neon lights 坏味道和霓虹灯

   

Oh beautiful town 哦，美丽的小镇

Where are you now with your binge insecurities? 你现在在哪里与你狂欢的不安全感？

I shut you down, beautiful town 我关你失望，美丽的小镇

Because you tear your children 因为你撕你的孩子

Into pieces 成片

   

Absence twisted with fondness 没有扭曲与喜爱

Is the horror I couldn’t forget 是恐怖我不能忘记

Programmed in the great art 编程的伟大艺术

Of family, lies and debts 家庭，谎言和债务

   

Too much expectation 过多的期望

Followed by hope and then hate in the mess 其次是希望再讨厌的一塌糊涂

And the rest of my life was a glorious test 而我的后半生是一个光荣的测试

Of my will and my selfish neglect 我的意志和我的自私忽视

   

Oh beautiful town 哦，美丽的小镇

I remember you blacker than night 我记得你比黑更晚

The whores and the sick-mouths 的妓女和病人，嘴巴

The bad taste and the neon lights 坏味道和霓虹灯

   

Oh beautiful town 哦，美丽的小镇

Where are you now with your binge insecurities? 你现在在哪里与你狂欢的不安全感？

I shut you down, beautiful town 我关你失望，美丽的小镇

Because you tear your children 因为你撕你的孩子

Into pieces 成片

   

On the floor boards under insolent feet 下张狂脚楼承板

I mapped the hopscotch to my parents’ retreat í映射跳房子到我父母的撤退

With a lavender bag in my hand 用薰衣草包在我手中

And words of desperation on my tongue 和绝望的我的舌头上的话

   

Good night father, good night mother 晚安的父亲，晚安妈妈

Are you still awake? 你还醒着？
