Just like a paper tiger 就像一个纸老虎

Torn apart by idle hands 通过空闲的手撕裂

Through the helter skelter morning 通过手忙脚乱上午

Fix yourself while you still can 修正自己，而你还可以

No more ashes to ashes 没有更多的灰飞烟灭

No more cinders from the sky 从天空中没有更多的灰烬

All the laws of creation 创建所有的法律

Tell a dead man how to die 告诉一个死人怎么死的

   

O deserts down below us Ø抛弃下来我们下面

And storms up above 和风暴了上述

Like a stray dog gone defective 像一只流浪狗不见了缺陷

Like a paper tiger in the sun 就像一个纸老虎，在阳光下

   

Looking through a broken diamond 翻翻破钻石

To make the past what it should be 使过去它应该是什么

Through the ruins and the weather 通过对遗址和天气

Capsized boats in the sea 在海上倾覆的船只

   

O deserts down below us Ø抛弃下来我们下面

And storms up above 和风暴了上述

Like a stray dog gone defective 像一只流浪狗不见了缺陷

Like a paper tiger in the sun 就像一个纸老虎，在阳光下

   

We're just holding on to nothing 我们只是在坚持着什么

To see how long nothing lasts 看多久，没有什么可以

   

O deserts down below us Ø抛弃下来我们下面

And storms up above 和风暴了上述

Like a stray dog gone defective 像一只流浪狗不见了缺陷

Like a paper tiger in the sun 就像一个纸老虎，在阳光下
