History repeats the old conceits 历史重演旧自负

The glib replies the same defeats 圆滑的回答同样的失败

Keep your finger on important issues 将手指放在重要的问题

With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues 随着鳄鱼的眼泪和一口袋组织

I'm just the oily slick 我只是油性油滑

On the windup world of the nervous tick 在饱和的世界神经蜱

In a very fashionable hovel 在一个很时髦的小屋

   

I hang around dying to be tortured 我挂各地争先恐后地被折磨

You'll never be alone in the bone orchard 你永远不会孤独骨果园

This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel 此战与瓶是什么让小说

   

So in this almost empty gin palace 因此，在这个几乎是空的杜松子酒宫殿

Through a two-way looking glass 通过双向窥镜

You see your Alice 你看你的爱丽丝

   

You know she has no sense 你知道她有没有意义

For all your jealousy 对于所有的嫉妒

In a sense she still smiles very sweetly 从某种意义上说，她仍然微笑很甜美

   

Charged with insults and flattery 被控侮辱和奉承

Her body moves with malice 她的身体动作与恶意

Do you have to be so cruel to be callous 你要这样残忍地被无情

   

And now you find you fit this identikit completely 现在，你发现自己完全符合这个容貌

You say you have no secrets 你说你有没有秘密

And then leave discreetly 然后离开谨慎

I might make it California's fault 我可以让加州的错

Be locked in Geneva's deepest vault 被锁在日内瓦最深的金库

Just like the canals of Mars and the great barrier reef 就像火星的运河和大堡礁

I come to you beyond belief 我来给你难以置信

   

My hands were clammy and cunning 我的手是湿冷和狡猾

She's been suitably stunning 她一直适当惊艳

But I know there's not a hope in Hades 但我知道，有没有一个希望在地狱

All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle 所有的小伙子们猫调用和狼哨

So-called gentlemen and ladies 所谓的绅士和淑女

Dog fight like rose and thistle 像玫瑰和蓟狗打架

   

I've got a feeling 我有一种感觉

I'm going to get a lot of grief 我会得到很多的悲伤

Once this seemed so appealing 一旦这个看起来如此吸引人

Now I am beyond belief 现在我难以置信

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
