A Robbery

Three days and a bed for recovery
在病床上的三天里
Two years in a cell for a robbery
或是因盗窃入狱的两年里，都在追忆往事
Twenty-seven I have seen
我在27岁那年
a funny dancing litte dream
曾做过一场奇怪不安的小梦
rising shiver on my skin
使我打了个寒颤
and flying up above my pillow
并跳出盘旋于枕头之上
Two hours with the summer rising mercury
两小时内上涨不小的夏季气温
Fifteen minutes catching crickets from a rising tree
花十五分钟去捉小树上的蟋蟀
Twenty-seven I have seen
我在27岁那年
many summers on the screen
曾浏览过这些相机里的夏日时光
many fires burning clean
还记得那天多处大火
boulevards from my window
把窗外的林荫路焚烧殆尽
All you servants at the door listen to your king
你的仆人们都在门口等待皇帝的差遣
Bow your head and be quiet as the emperor sings
在他高歌时务必深鞠躬保持肃静
Twenty-seven I have seen
我在27岁那年
both the devil and the Queen
亲眼见过魔鬼和尊贵的皇后
goin’ to heaven on a green
在从我厨房窃来的绿色毛刷上
brush stolen from my kitchen
一同升入天堂
