The man of a thousand faces 千面的男人

Sits down at the table 坐在桌前

Eats a small lump of sugar 吃了小疙瘩糖

And smiles at the moon like he knows her 和微笑的月亮一样，他知道她

And begins his quiet ascension 并开始了他平静的提升

Without anyone's sturdy instruction 没有任何人的彪悍指令

To a place of no religion 一个地方没有宗教

Has found a path to our alikeness 已经找到了路径，我们alikeness

   

His words are quiet like stains are 他的话很安静像污渍

On a table cloth washed in a river 桌子上的布在河里洗

Stains that are trying to cover, for each other 污渍的尝试包括，彼此

Or at least blend in with the pattern 或者至少是融合在一起的模式

Good is better than perfect 良好的比完美更重要

Scrub til your fingers are bleeding 磨砂直到你的手指在流血

And I'm crying for things that I tell others to do without crying 而我哭的事情，我告诉别人做不哭泣

   

He used to go to his favorite bookstores 他曾经去他最喜欢的书店

And rip out his favorite pages 并撕裂了他最喜欢的网页

And stuff them into his breast pocket 之类的东西他们到他的胸前的口袋

And the moon to him was a stranger 并在月球上他是个陌生人

Now he sits down at the table 现在，他坐在桌旁

Right next to the window 旁边的窗口

And begins his quiet ascension 并开始了他平静的提升

Without anyone's sturdy instruction 没有任何人的彪悍指令

To a place of no religion 一个地方没有宗教

Has found a path to our alikeness 已经找到了路径，我们alikeness

And eats a small lump of sugar 而吃了小疙瘩糖

And smiles at the moon like he knows her 和微笑的月亮一样，他知道她
