科学怪人
I dont know you from adam it could make my day
我与你素不相识 却可能改变我的一天
If you leave me a message Ill give it away
若你留下只言片语 我便将它传递
Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to
因那些最完美的陌生人 你能与之倾诉
Are the ones who pretend that youre not really you

Are with any attempts here to play frankenstein
任何尝试扮演造物者的举动
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind
都伴随着无数次反悔的机会
When youre building your own creation

Nothings better than real than a real
没有什么比真实更真实
Imitation

I wont find it fantastic or think it absurd

When the gun in the first act goes off in the third

Cause its rare that you ever know what to expect
毕竟你永远难以预料
From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck

If the creature is limping the parts are in place

With a mind of its own and a fist for a face

Say hello to your new creation
