She cooks you sweet potato you don't like aubergine
她为你煮了甘薯，但你不喜欢那种紫色
She knows to boil the kettle when you hum bars from grease
她为你烧了开水，当你从酒吧浑浑得回来
She senses you are lonely but still she can't be sure
她感觉你是孤独的，但又不能确定
And so she stands and waits anticipating your thoughts
于是她一直等待着，揣度着你的想法
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you
难道她真要变成巫婆才能读懂 你？
How can she become the psychic that she longs to be to understand you
难道她真要变成巫婆才能读懂 你？
He brushes thoroughly
他把自己完美地粉饰了
He know she likes fresh breath
他知道她喜欢新鲜的感觉
He rushes to the station
他冲到站台
He waits atop the steps
他在台阶那等着
He's brought with him a mars bar
他随身带了一条冯氏巧克力
She will not buy nestle
她不会买雀巢的
And later he'll perform
而之后他将开始表演
A love-lorn serenade, a trade
贫瘠的爱情恋歌，一场交易
How can he become the psychic that he longs to be to understand you
难道他真要变成巫婆才能读懂 你？

So give her information to help her fill her holes
给她点消息吧，帮助她填补内心的焦虑
Give an ounce of power so he does not feel controlled
给他点鼓励吧，这样他才不觉得自己在被玩弄
Help her to acknoledge the pain that you are in
让她知道你现在的痛苦
Give to him a glimpse of that beneath your skin
向他展示你超出表面的深度
Now my inner dialogue is heaving with detest
憎恨压迫我的内心
I am a martyr and a victim and I need to be caressed
受折磨之人被害者，我需要被爱抚
I hate that you negate me, I'm a ghost at beck and call
痛恨你怎么竟将我忽视，仿佛呼来使去的卑贱灵魂
I'm falling and placating, berate myself for staying
边自我沉溺边自我安慰，责骂自己为何还要停留
I'm a fool
我真是一个傻子
I'm a fool
我真是没心的
He greets his stranger meekly a thing that she accepts
他温和地向这位“陌生人”问好
She sees him waiting often with chocolate on the steps
她看见他经常在台阶上拿着巧克力等待
He senses she is lonely she's glad they finally met
他感觉她是孤独的，她欣喜得发现他们终于遇见了
They take each other's hands walk into the sunset
他们握着彼此的手走进夕阳
Do you like sweet potato?
你，喜欢甘薯吗？
