The Other Side of Paradise
BY GLASS ANIMALS
When I was young and stupid my love,
Left to be a rock and roll star,
He told me please don't worry,
Wise little smile that spoke so safely,
He booked a one way ticket,
Out west that's where they make it,
Six kids stuck in a bedsit,
To sunswept poolside riches,
He met a girl who wore Versace,
Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery,
Gonna be a hoop phenomenon,
He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwan,
He's got a gold Camaro,
He said over the payphone,
I try to keep my cool but,
My life turns in slow motion,
Bye bye baby blue,
I wish you could see the wicked truth,
Caught up in a rush it's killing you,
Screaming at the sun you blow into,
Curled up in a grip when we were us,
Fingers in a fist like you might run,
I settle for a ghost I never knew,
Superparadise I held on to,
But I settle for a ghost,
When I was from n.o.l.a no one,
Left to be a rock and roll star,
He'd stay and treat his lady,
Give everything to his new baby,
I miss him don't you blame me,
That boy went stone cold crazy,
Caught up in camera lust he's,
Chasing that pappy pipe dreams,
I know you don't but I,
I know you don't but I still try,
My thunder shook him down,
My thunder came and shook him down,
That girl is gone but I,
That girl is gone but I still try,
I think it's over now,
The bullet hit but maybe not,
I feel so ******* numb,
It hits my head and I feel numb,
My body's looking wrong,
My body's looking wrong,
My body's looking wrong,
Bye bye baby blue,
I wish you could see the wicked truth,
Caught up in a rush it's killing you,
Screaming at the sun you blow into,
Curled up in a grip when we were us,
Fingers in a fist like you might run,
I settle for a ghost I never knew,
Superparadise I held on to,
But I settle for a ghost.
当我还年少不谙世事之时，
怜子之心随摇滚梦碎，
他曾告诉我不要悲伤彷徨，
言语之间信誓旦旦婉转悠扬。
一张无返的单程车票，
载他梦想前往西边日落大道，
六个拥挤在小床上的孩童，
或许明日便是黄昏泳池边的豪门富翁。
他遇见一位大家闺秀，
粉羽覆衣，珠宝遮面，
他将一跃成为冉冉巨星，
万众瞩目，光芒万丈。
他已坐拥天下，
却从无迹可寻的公共电话传来音声。
我曾尝试冷静自持，
但生活如冰结冻，就此停滞。
再也不见，我那婴儿蓝温柔的梦乡，
期盼你的心眼明亮，
能让你看清你正走向地狱之道，
炽热的业火覆灭周遭一切，
步入的生灵将万劫不复尸骨不存。
曾拥彼此入怀时，
怀抱中蜷紧的拳头透露你的一去不返。
我爱著了一幽灵鬼魂可我不曾认知，
迷当是无上天堂、梦乡船港。
但我爱著的却究竟是如露虚无。
在我遥远的家乡，
没人逐梦摇滚，
晴耕雨读，天伦之乐，
家室和顺，望子成才。
我思念成疾，辗转难眠，
而那温柔的可人已是铁石心肠：
纵情娱乐，追光逐影，
可怜地沉浸在云雾缭绕的梦幻泡影。
我知会汝意，
我知会汝意，
可我愤怒滔天，
不曾宣扬的愤怒如今无所保留。
那“大家闺秀”早已离去，
可我依旧寻找蛛丝马迹。
刀光剑影的刹那，
我是否将要倒在泪流血泊中，
我的脑袋混沌欲睡，
我身体已不听使唤，
我开始四肢麻木，
我开始四肢僵劲，
我开始溃散无形。
再也不见，我那婴儿蓝温柔的梦乡，
期盼你的心眼明亮，
能让你看清你正走向地狱之道，
炽热的业火覆灭周遭一切，
步入的生灵将万劫不复尸骨不存。
曾拥彼此入怀时，
怀抱中蜷紧的拳头透露你的一去不返。
我爱著了一幽灵鬼魂可我不曾认知，
迷当是无上天堂、梦乡船港。
但我爱著的却究竟是如露虚无。
