Written by：David Sitek/Kyp Malone/TV on the Radio

I was a lover before this war
战火纷飞前 我曾是个痴情人
Held up in a luxury suite
蜷缩在豪华套房里
Behind a barricaded door
藏身于重重门禁之后
Now that I've cleaned up gone legit
如今洗尽铅华 步入正轨
I can see clearly round hole
却看清这圆孔方枘
Round whole square peg don't fit
格格不入的荒唐
I'm locked in my bedroom
我把自己锁进卧室
So send back the clowns
让那些小丑都退散
My clone wears a brown shirt
我的克隆人身着棕色衬衫
And I seduce him
我引诱着他
When there's no one around
当四下无人之时
Mano you mano on a bed of nails
针毡上的生死较量
Bring it on like a storm
如暴风雨般席卷而来
Till I knock the wind out of his sails
直到我夺走他的气势
And we don't make eye contact
我们在小镇偶遇时
When we have run ins in town
总是避开彼此的目光
Just a barely polite nod
仅剩礼貌性的点头致意
And nervous stares towards the ground
与局促不安的低垂视线
I once joined a priest class plastic inert
我曾混迹于神职者的塑料圈层
In a slowdance with commerce
与商业虚与委蛇地周旋
Like a lens up a skirt
如同偷窥裙摆的镜片
And we liked to party
我们纵情狂欢
And we kept it live
让派对永不散场
And we had a three volume tome
还合著过三卷本的大部头
Of contemporary slang
那些时髦的俚语
To keep a handle on all this jive
只为理清这纷乱思绪
Ennui unbridled
倦意肆意蔓延
Let's talk to kill the time
让我们闲聊消磨时光
How many styles did you cycle
你曾历经多少种模样
Through before you were mine
才最终来到我身旁
And it's been a while since
虽然已经许久未再
We went wild and that's all fine
纵情狂欢 但这样也好
But we're sleepwalking through this trial
我们在审判中梦游般前行
And it's really a crime
这实在是种罪过
It's really a crime it's really a crime
这真是罪过 这真是罪过
It's really criminal
这简直罪无可恕
We're just busy tempting
我们只顾着试探命运
Like fate's on the nod
仿佛命运已默许
Running on empty bourbon and god
靠着空酒瓶与神明苟延残喘
It's been a while since we knew the way
我们迷失方向已太久
And it's been even longer
时光流逝更久远
Since our plastic priest class
自我们塑料神职课堂
Had a goddamned thing to say
再难吐出半句箴言
I was a lover before this war
战火纷飞前 我曾是个痴情人
I was a lover before this war
战火纷飞前 我曾是个痴情人
I was a lover before this war
战火纷飞前 我曾是个痴情人
