By the time the luminous descent of the bright star unfolds 由当时的明亮恒星的发光后裔展开

And tablets of strange love are shattered and bruised 而奇怪的爱情片都破灭了，到处是瘀青

By the time the oleander has fallen from bloom 由当时的夹竹桃已经从开花下降

And the tears of the crocodile water the sun 和鳄鱼水太阳的眼泪

   

By the time you make up your mind 到时候你让你的心

If ever you do 要是你做

I hear the drums of heaven too 我听说天上的太鼓

   

By the time paradise alley is littered with rust 到时候天堂胡同散落着生锈

And the arc of the dayglo is curtained in gloom 和DAYGLO的弧线是窗帘的黑暗中

By the time the kidney bone cities are crumbling to dust 等到肾骨城市都摇摇欲坠灰尘

And the empires and all of the emirates burn 和帝国，所有的酋长国烧

   

Ice on the mountain 冰的山

Wind and the dust storm 风和沙尘暴

Sails in the desert 在沙漠里帆

It's old and exploding 这是老爆炸

Seers and the prophets 预言家和先知

Dramas of heaven 天上的戏剧

   

By the time you make up your mind 到时候你让你的心

If ever you do 要是你做

I hear the drums of heaven too 我听说天上的太鼓
