plateau (live)

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
許多雙手剝去了這宏偉而又蒼老高原的鱗片
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
有些是陌生人有些是你所知道的人
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
神聖的幽靈和脫口秀主持人被種植在沙灘上
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
為了美化這片山丘並與許多人握手
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
丘頂上只有一個水桶和一個拖把
And an illustrated book about birds
還有份關於鳥兒的插圖雜誌
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
你在那兒能看到不少東西但是別怕
Who needs action when you got words
當你得到消息時誰會採取行動呢？
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
當你用拖把乾完活你就可以停下了
And look at what you've done
看看你做了什麼
The plateau's clean no dirt to be seen
這片高原被打掃的一塵不染
And the work it took was fun
這活兒其實也挺好玩的
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
丘頂上只有一個水桶和一個拖把
And an illustrated book about birds
還有份關於鳥兒的插圖雜誌
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
你在那兒能看到不少東西但是別怕
Who needs action when you got words
當你得到消息時誰會採取行動呢？
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
好吧人們又開始審視找尋周圍下一個高原
Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
有些人說在格陵蘭有些人說在墨西哥
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
有些人認定就是自己腳下這片土地
But those were all just guesses wouldn't help you if they could
但是他們都只是瞎猜並不能幫得上你啊
