Logorrhea

Independent of the brain
与大脑无关
Not a moment to reflect
没有一刻反思
Only time to wick up the gain
只顾着提高音量
What was he thinking of and
他在想什么
Why did he dream he could convey a bright idea
为何他梦想能传达出聪明的想法
While his tongue was wagging
当他的舌头不停摆动时
He forgot to use the space between his ears
他忘了利用头脑中的空间
Logodaedalus

With the cunning of a fox
他狡猾如狐
Paint him devious
描绘他诡计多端
In the corner of the room
在房间的角落
Pop Pandora out of her box
将潘多拉从盒中释放
What is he on about and
他到底在说什么
Why are his arguments so needlessly arcane
为何他的论点如此晦涩难懂
In their brilliance
在他的“智慧”中
He's close to appearing more than slightly inane
他几乎显得有点荒谬
With his crooked logic
用他扭曲的逻辑
And his dog-eared dictionary close to hand
手边还放着他那本破旧的字典
I don't think he's got it
我不认为他明白
But he's insistent that we're going to understand
但他坚持要我们理解
His complete precision;
他那所谓的精确
In the end he's certain that we'll all agree
最终他确信我们都会同意
With his definition
他的定义
An obsolescent word from 1663
一个来自1663年的过时词汇
That says it all for me
