Parasite

Parasite



Lifting the mask from a local clown

Feeling down like him

Seeing the light in a station bar

And travelling far in sin

Sailing downstairs to the northern line

Watching the shine of the shoes

And hearing the trials of the people there

Who's to care if they lose.



And take a look you may see me on the ground

For I am the parasite of this town.



Dancing a jig in a church with chimes

A sign of the times today

And hearing no bell from a steeple tall

People all in dismay

Falling so far on a silver spoon

Making the moon for fun

And changing a rope for a size too small

People all get hung.



Take a look and see me coming through

For I am the parasite who travels two by two.



When lifting the mask from a local clown

And feeling down like him

And I'm seeing the light in a station bar

And travelling far in sin

And I'm sailing downstair to the northern line

Watching the shine of the shoes

And hearing the trials of the people there

Who's to care if they lose.



And take a look you may see me on the ground

For I am the parasite of this town.

And take a look you may see me in the dirt

For i am the parasite who hangs from your skirt.



寄生虫



举起镇上小丑的假面

同他一样感受着低落

凝视站旁酒吧微弱的光线

在罪恶中游荡得太远

驶下楼来到北航道上

望着皮鞋闪闪发光

倾听那儿的人受审判

迷途之时该把谁挂念



仔细看看你就会发现我蜷在地上

因为我是这镇里的寄生虫



随着教堂钟声跳支捷格舞

那是今日时光流逝的佐证

高塔的顶端听不到铃声

所有人都陷入惊愕之中

银勺中滑落太远

取笑月亮

把绳套勒得太紧

所有人都被吊起



仔细看看你就会发现我正钻出来

因为我是一对接一对出行的寄生虫





举起镇上小丑的假面

同他一样感受着低落

凝视站旁酒吧微弱的光线

在罪恶中游荡得太远

驶下楼来到北航道上

望着皮鞋闪闪发光

倾听那儿的人受审判

迷途之时该把谁挂念



仔细看看你就会发现我蜷在地上

因为我是这镇里的寄生虫

仔细看看你就会发现我蜷在尘埃之中

因为我是你裙摆上垂下的寄生虫
