Lights are bright in the circus 灯都亮在马戏团

The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes and laugh at your misery 怪才和怪胎都淡烟和嘲笑你的痛苦

While the white of the curtain closing crushes your heart 当大幕闭合的白色粉碎你的心脏

The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart 孤独的惯性眼泪除了你的肉

It's a long slow slide 这是一个长期缓慢的幻灯片

It's a long slow slide 这是一个长期缓慢的幻灯片

It's a long slow slide 这是一个长期缓慢的幻灯片

Down 向下

Once the neon is gone 一旦霓虹灯不见了

There's still that golden splinter at your side 目前仍然是金色的碎片在你身边

His manners are charming 他的举止迷人

But who are you fooling 你是谁愚弄

You're still nobody's bride 你还是人的新娘

And Bukowski's widow 和布考斯基的遗孀

Haunts each empty seat on the ferris wheel 萦绕在摩天轮的每个空座位

As ghoulish lovers collide in a collage of kisses that they steal 至于残忍的恋人发生冲突，因为他们偷亲吻的拼贴

It's a long slow slide 这是一个长期缓慢的幻灯片

Down 向下

And outside your window you can see the circus it's lurching 和你的窗外可以看到马戏团它蹒跚

with rings of smoke 烟雾中环

You laugh halfheartedly at the punchline 你笑半心半意的笑点

Not realizing they've made you the joke 没有意识到，他们已经取得了你的笑话

And inside you're heart a war is raging 而你心脏内的战争正在激烈进行

A region still untamed 一个区域仍然野性十足

The worst fear I can imagine is for the mystery to be named 最糟糕的恐惧，我可以想像是谜被命名为

Is for the mystery to be named 是谜被命名为

It's a long slow slide 这是一个长期缓慢的幻灯片

It's a long slow slide 这是一个长期缓慢的幻灯片

It's a long slow slide 这是一个长期缓慢的幻灯片
