I saw them standing on a corner 我看到他们站在一个角落

Bathed in ordinary light 沐浴在普通光

They turned away and started walkin' 他们转过身去，开始走着

And faded off into the night 和褪色消失在夜

Some years ago they were in fashion 几年前，他们在时装

Tonight they couldn't get a seat 今晚他们无法得到一个座位

They've got themselves a brand new history 他们已经得到了自己一个全新的历史
