Written By：Elvis Coste

Signal fading listen to what I'm saying
信号渐弱 请听我诉说
Testing testing
测试 测试
This better be worth all of the breath I'm wasting
但愿值得我耗费的每一口喘息
Maintaining radio silence from now on
从此刻起 保持无线电静默
Barricaded in the talk radio station
被困在这喋喋不休的电台
Hostage taken
沦为阶下囚
The red On-Air light shines on
直播红灯依旧刺眼
Something cheaper that passes for free speech
廉价之物 却冒充自由宣言
Will have to do
只能如此
Hear him coming through loud and clear
他的声音清晰传来
Trickling in your ear
在你耳边低语
He'll tell you anything you want to hear
他会说出你想听的一切
The tape starts running
磁带开始转动
He's going to tell you something
他将要告诉你些什么
The strings start strumming
琴弦开始拨动
Another humdrum conundrum
又一个乏味的谜题
Signing off now
此刻停止播报
Maintaining radio silence from now on
从此刻起 保持无线电静默
But there's one thing I should have said
但有句话我本该说出口
The hostage will end up dead
人质终将迎来死亡
It's just a comedy
这不过是场荒诞剧
The hostage is me
而我正是那个人质
So pay the ransom
所以支付赎金吧
Beyond the run-out grove
在那片枯竭的树林之外
Get my wife down here
让我妻子过来
A helicopter on the roof
派直升机降落在屋顶
No police marksman
不要安排狙击手
Maintaining radio silence from now on
从此刻起 保持无线电静默
Mystery voices
那些神秘的声音
Drowned out by too much choice
被太多选择淹没
That's not to mention
更不必说
The sad waste of this wonderful invention
这伟大发明可悲的浪费
Maintaining radio silence from now on
从此刻起 保持无线电静默
Libraries filled up with failed ideas
图书馆堆满失败的构想
There's nothing more for me there
那里已无我容身之处
I trust in tender ink and gentle airs
我只信温柔墨香与和煦微风
Do those ** dealer still polish women made of wax
那些**贩子还在打磨蜡制女人吗
Gangster and world leaders
黑帮与各国元首
Require the same protection from attack
都需要同样的武装保护
From this distance it's hard to tell the difference
在这遥远距离下 真假虚实难辨
Between a king and jack
王侯与草芥无异
And a poet and hack
诗人与庸才难分
Maintaining radio silence from now on
从此刻起 保持无线电静默
