Baby's busy hiding in the bassinet

Wonderin' if the third world war started yet
不知道第三次世界大战是否拉开序幕
I told her I was pulling up and heading west
我告诉她我要开车去西边
She said she would have come but she was overdressed
她说她会来的但她穿得太隆重了
So I sent a picture postcard of a midwest bank
所以我寄了一张中西部银行的照片明信片
She wrote me that she showed it to her new friend frank
她给我写信说她给她的新朋友弗兰克看了
Who noticed in a window on the 19th floor
谁在19楼的一扇窗里注意到
A guy my age about to prove that man can't soar
我这个年纪的人即将证明人类无法翱翔天空
And he would also like to know
他也想知道
If I could just check around before I left this town
如果我能在离开这座城市之前四处看看
For slow mo footage of the tumble down so
慢镜头里翻滚的场景
This may not be my best day
这也许不是我最好的一天
But this ain't no golden age
但这不是黄金时代
You looked pretty on the freeway
你在高速公路上看起来真漂亮
Let's drive into the brave new world
让我们驶入美丽的新世界
A van pulls up and someone offers me a ride
一辆货车停下有人载我一程
The driver lost the map and he was terrified
司机丢了地图他吓坏了
Everybody whispering to save his pride say
每个人都窃窃私语以此挽回他的自尊
Son would you be kind enough to be our guide
孩子你能否好心做我们的向导
The driver yells the one in back already tried
司机大声叫后面那个人已经试过了
But his memory is rusty and his vision tied
但他的记忆已经消失视线模糊
Glasses and a lubricant were by his side but
眼镜和润滑剂都在他身边但是
The tin man was inanimate the lion lied
铁皮人没有生命狮子在撒谎
They did not want to see me go
他们不想看到我离开
But I did not want to be another muskateer
但我不想做另一个火枪手
Plus the gas runs out before the van's in gear
而且车子还没发动就没油了
Please don't hit me if I do say
如果我说了请不要打我
But this ain't no golden age
但这不是黄金时代
You looked so pretty on the freeway
你在高速公路上看起来好漂亮
Let's drive into the brave new world
让我们驶入美丽的新世界
Buster and his company look good in black
Buster和他的团队穿着黑色衣服看起来不错
They're looking for a way out of the cul de sac
他们在寻找摆脱困境的出路
Tearing through the phone book and the almanac
翻阅电话薄和年鉴
They all have dusty noses 'cause they sniff shellac
他们的鼻子布满灰尘因为他们闻到了虫胶
They finally found the number of a matador
他们终于找到了一个斗牛士的电话号码
Who rode up in a beemer with a pricey whore

But buster wasn't quick enough
但假人老兄动作不够快
He'd lock the door
他会锁上门
And rode off sayin' he'd be back before the war
扬长而去说他会在战争爆发前回来
By then the night was falling slow
那时夜幕慢慢降临
And I did not want to stick around and just look old
我不想原地踏步让自己看起来老去
When I saw you pulling onto my soft shoulder
当我看见你拉着我柔软的肩膀
This may not be my best day
这也许不是我最好的一天
But this ain't no golden age
但这不是黄金时代
You looked pretty on the freeway
你在高速公路上看起来真漂亮
Let's drive into the brave new world
让我们驶入美丽的新世界
Please don't hit me if I do say
如果我说了请不要打我
But this ain't no golden age
但这不是黄金时代
You looked so pretty on the freeway
你在高速公路上看起来好漂亮
Let's drive into the brave new world
让我们驶入美丽的新世界
Yeh
耶
