A Robbery
Three days and a bed for recovery
在病床上的三天裡
Two years in a cell for a robbery
或是因盜竊入獄的兩年裡，都在追憶往事
Twenty -seven I have seen
我在27歲那年
a funny dancing litte dream
曾做過一場奇怪不安的小夢
rising shiver on my skin
使我打了個寒顫
and flying up above my pillow
並跳出盤旋於枕頭之上
Two hours with the summer rising mercury
兩小時內上漲不小的夏季氣溫
Fifteen minutes catching crickets from a rising tree
花十五分鐘去捉小樹上的蟋蟀
Twenty-seven I have seen
我在27歲那年
many summers on the screen
曾瀏覽過這些相機裡的夏日時光
many fires burning clean
還記得那天多處大火
boulevards from my window
把窗外的林蔭路焚燒殆盡
All you servants at the door listen to your king
你的僕人們都在門口等待皇帝的差遣
Bow your head and be quiet as the emperor sings
在他高歌時務必深鞠躬保持肅靜
Twenty-seven I have seen
我在27歲那年
both the devil and the Queen
親眼見過魔鬼和尊貴的皇后
goin' to heaven on a green
在從我廚房竊來的綠色毛刷上
brush stolen from my kitchen
一同升入天堂
