Leaving LA - Father John Misty

以下歌词翻译由微信翻译提供

Written by：Father John Misty

I was living on the hill

我曾经住在山上

By the water tower and hiking trails

在水塔和登山步道旁

And when the big one hit I'd have a seat

当大事情发生时我可以坐下来

To watch masters abandon their dogs and dogs run free

看着主人抛弃他们的狗狗自由奔跑

Oh baby it's time to leave

宝贝是时候离开了

Take the van and the hearse down to New Orleans

开着货车和灵车去新奥尔良

Leave under the gaze of the billboard queens

在公告牌女王的注视下离去

Five foot chicks with parted lips selling sweatshop jeans

五英尺高的小妞张着嘴卖着廉价牛仔裤

These L A phonies and their b******t bands

洛杉矶那些虚伪的家伙和他们的女人

That sound like dollar signs and Amy Grant

听起来就像钞票和AmyGrant

So reads the pulled quote from my last cover piece

所以读着我上一篇封面文章里的引语

Entitled The Oldest Man in Folk Rock Speaks

题为《摇滚史上最长寿的人说的话》

You can hear it all over the airwaves

你可以从广播里听到

The manufactured gasp of the final days

在最后的日子里人工制造的喘息声

Someone should tell them bout the time that they don't have

应该有人告诉他们他们没有多少时间

To praise the glorious future and the hopeless past

赞美美好的未来和绝望的过去

A few things the songwriter needs

写歌的人需要的东西

Arrows of Love a mask of Tragedy

爱之箭悲剧的面具

But if you want e*****y or birth control

但如果你想要那种东西或是避孕措施

Just run the tap until the water's cold

打开水龙头直到水冷却

Anything else you can get online

你还能在网上找到什么

A creation myth or a 45

一个创世神话或者一把0.45口径的手枪

You're going to need one or the other to survive

你需要其中一个才能存活

Where only the armed or the funny make it out alive

只有全副武装的或是滑稽可笑的家伙才能存活下来

Mara taunts me 'neath the tree

玛拉在树下嘲笑我

She's like Oh great that's just what we all need

她说太好了这正是我们需要的

Another white guy in 2017

2017年又是一个白人小伙

Who takes himself so goddamn seriously

把自己看得那么重要

She's not far off the strange thing is

她就在不远处奇怪的是

That's pretty much what I thought when I started this

我一开始也是这么想的

It took me my whole life to learn to the play the G

我用了一辈子的时间才学会如何玩匪帮游戏

But the role of Oedipus was a total breeze

但俄狄浦斯这个角色是轻而易举的

Still I dreamt of garnering all rave reviews

我依然梦想着得到好评

Just believably a little north of God's own truth

令人信服的是有点背离上帝的真理

He's a national treasure now and here's the proof

他现在是国宝这就是证据

In the form of his major label debut

他在各大厂牌的首次亮相

A little less human with each release

每一次释放都少了一点人性

Closing the gap between the mask and me

拉近我与面具之间的距离

I swear I'll never do this but is it okay

我发誓我永远不会这样做但这样可以吗

Don't want to be that guy but it's my birthday

我不想变成那样但今天是我的生日

If everything ends with the photo then I'm on my way

如果一切都以这张照片结束那我就踏上征程

Ohhh ho o oh oh ho ho ho oh

哦哦哦

I watched my old gods all collapse

我看着我的旧神土崩瓦解

Were way more violent than my cartoon past

比我以前的漫画更加暴力

It's like my father said before he croaked

就像我父亲去世前说的那样

Son you're killing me and that's all folks

孩子你让我痛不欲生朋友们

So why is it I'm so distraught

那为何我如此心烦意乱

That what I'm selling is getting bought

我卖的东西都有人买

At some point you just can't control

有时候你无法控制

What people use your fake name for

人们用你的假名字做什么

So I never learned to play the lead guitar

所以我从未学会弹主吉他

I always more preferred the speaking parts

我总是更喜欢开口说话

Besides there's always someone willing to

而且总有人愿意

Fill up the spaces that I couldn't use

填补我无法填补的空白

Nonetheless I've been practicing my whole life

尽管如此我这一生都在练习

Washing dishes playing drums and getting by

洗碗打鼓勉强度日

Until I figured if I'm here then I just might

直到我发现如果我在这里我可能会

Conceal my lack of skill here in the spotlights

在聚光灯下掩饰我的不足

Maya the mother of illusions a beard and I

玛雅是幻想之母胡子和我

2000 years or so since Ovid taught

奥维德教授这门课已经过去两千年了

Night blooming teenage rosebuds dirty talk

夜晚绽放十几岁的玫瑰花蕾说下流话

And I'm merely a minor fascination to

我只是一个微不足道的魅力

Manic virginal lust and college dudes

I'm beginning to begin to see the end

我开始看到终点

Of how it all goes down between me and them

我和他们之间的点点滴滴

Some 10 verse chorus less diatribe

十段主歌副歌少一些谩骂

Plays as they all jump ship I used to like this guy

This new sh*t really kinda makes me wanna die

Ohhh ho oh oh oh ho ho ho oh

Ohhh ho oh oh oh ho ho ho oh

My first memory of music's from

The time at JCPenney's with my mom

The watermelon candy I was choking on

Barbara screaming Someone help my son

I relive it most times the radio's on

That tell me lies sweet little white lies song

That's when I first saw the comedy won't stop for

Even little boys dying in the department store

So we leave town in total silence

New Year's Day it's 6 o'clock AM

I've never seen Sunset this abandoned

Reminds me predictably of the world's end

It'll be good to get more space

God knows what all these suckers paid

I can stop drinking and you can write your script

But what we both think now is

但我们现在都觉得
