It's a slow motion night
这是一个慢动作的夜晚
In the hot city lights
在炽热的城市灯光下
Past time when the good folks
当善良的人们早已
Are snoring in bed
在床上安然入睡
On a loose jointed cruise
在漫无目的的游荡中
To recolor your blues
试图为你的忧郁重新着色
An' with illegal notions alive
而那些非法的念头
Alive in your head
依然在你脑海中活跃
And you are back from some war
你刚从某场战争中归来
That you've been fighting for
那场你曾为之奋战的战争
Some old blue blood bastard
某个老派的贵族混蛋
In a dark pinstripe suit
穿着深色细条纹西装
And the word from your loins
你身体的欲望
Has your mind in your groin
让你的思绪沉沦
And your back pocket burning with blood
你的后口袋燃烧着鲜血
With blood money loot
那是沾满鲜血的战利品
And you walk past the glow
你走过闪烁的霓虹光影
Of the flicker picture shows
经过那些闪烁的电影画面
Where the raincoat men wait
雨衣男人们在那里等待
For a child to come by
等待一个孩子经过
And the women in doorways
门廊下的女人们
Who have nothing to say
沉默无言
'Cause your money is talking
因为你的金钱在说话
To the ones that you would try
对那些你想要接近的人
And she owns the block
她主宰着这条街区
With the dead pawnshop clock
在破旧的当铺钟下
She's the answer to dreams
她是梦想的答案
That you pay to come true
你用金钱换取她的实现
She's got no heart of gold
她没有金子般的心
But that's not what she's sold
但那并非她所贩卖的东西
She just sees herself doing what she
她只是做着她必须做的事
What she has to do
做着她必须做的事
And she's all that you're hoping
她是你所有的期盼
As her coat falls open
当她的外套滑落
Give her bread and she leads you
给她面包，她便带你
To a bed on the floor
走向地上的床铺
Where the ten million years
那里历经千万年
And through ten billion tears
流过亿万滴泪水
The armies bootmen have marched
军队的士兵们已从
Back from their wars
他们的战争中归来
She's in that state of grace
她处于一种优雅的状态
Before time finds her face
在时间侵蚀她的容颜之前
With a mind of old wisdoms
她拥有古老的智慧
And a body still young
和依然年轻的身体
And she tastes as sweet
她的味道如孩童的糖果般甜美
As a child's chaco chit
在烟酒侵蚀你的味觉之前
Before the butts and the whiskey
在烟酒侵蚀你的味觉之前
Had wasted the taste of your tongue
她的味道依然纯净
Play the music again
再次播放那音乐
Of the Grey stubble men
关于那些灰白胡茬的男人
That groaning blue symphony
那呻吟的蓝色交响曲
Moans evermore
永远在哀鸣
And you watch as she fakes it
你看着她假装
And of course you just take it
而你只是接受
She's better than others
她比其他人更好
You never paid your money for

And you've used up your booty

And the girl's done her duty

And the turnstile has turned

And you learn you are done

And you're back on the street

Joining fresh marching feet

You see more soldiers coming

And your girl chooses one

And the medic has brought

Shots for what you have caught

And your leave is all over

You're back on the line

And you joke in the trenches

Of the hot blooded wenches
