原歌词
[00:00.00] 作词 : Hammill
[00:13.59] Time to burn, we could talk all the problems through...
[00:21.09] Are the promises still unbroken,
[00:25.56] do the spoken words still ring true?
[00:30.54] Oh, and where are you?
[00:32.67] Time to burn, wakes and weddings, celestial choirs,
[00:42.21] and while one hand shakes on the bargain
[00:46.50] see the other stoke the suttee pyre;
[00:51.60] so we're all on fire,
[00:52.50] burning for tomorrow.
[01:01.02] So much time wish- and hoping,
[01:05.55] soon the future will come
[01:09.00] with a bridal wreath for the wedding
[01:13.65] in the hands of the prodigal son.
[01:18.45] So much left undone,
[01:21.09] here we are with time to burn.
[01:48.81] So much time wishful thinking,
[01:58.50] all the whitest of lies
[01:58.95] with the prodigal caught at the border
[02:02.04] and the order of service awry.
[02:26.04] No time for goodbyes,
[02:26.46] will we ever start to learn?
[02:27.06] Time to burn, wakes and weddings become confused,
[02:32.10] all the faces over-familiar
[02:35.46] in the whirlwind of deja-vu...
[02:40.38] Oh, but where are you?
[02:43.89] Time to burn, all our lifelines are gathered round
[02:57.93] with a speech from the back of a postcard
[03:02.52] all the memories free in one bound.
[03:05.43] Free, and gone to ground,
[03:12.09] free, and gone forever.
[03:16.50] Free, and gone to ground,
[03:21.09] so I will remember
[03:28.53] so much lost and found.
[03:29.01] Here we are with time to burn.
歌词翻译
[00:13.59] 燃烧时光,我们可以畅谈所有难题...
[00:21.09] 那些承诺是否仍未破碎,
[00:25.56] 说出口的誓言是否依然真实?
[00:30.54] 噢,而你又在哪里?
[00:32.67] 燃烧时光,守灵与婚礼,天国的唱诗班,
[00:42.21] 当一只手在交易中颤抖
[00:46.50] 看另一只手拨弄殉葬的柴堆;
[00:51.60] 于是我们都燃起火焰,
[00:52.50] 为明日焚身。
[01:01.02] 太多时光在祈愿与期盼,
[01:05.55] 很快未来将携着
[01:09.00] 婚礼的花环降临
[01:13.65] 由浪子亲手捧来。
[01:18.45] 太多未竟之事,
[01:21.09] 我们在此虚度光阴。
[01:48.81] 太多时光耽于妄想,
[01:58.50] 所有纯白的谎言
[01:58.95] 当浪子被困在边境
[02:02.04] 而仪式流程已错乱。
[02:26.04] 来不及道别,
[02:26.46] 我们可曾学会?
[02:27.06] 燃烧时光,守灵与婚礼混淆不清,
[02:32.10] 所有面容在似曾相识的
[02:35.46] 旋风里重叠...
[02:40.38] 噢,但你在何处?
[02:43.89] 燃烧时光,我们的生命线缠绕成环
[02:57.93] 明信片背面写着致辞
[03:02.52] 所有记忆瞬间释放。
[03:05.43] 自由,而后归于尘土,
[03:12.09] 自由,永逝不返。
[03:16.50] 自由,而后归于尘土,
[03:21.09] 因此我将铭记
[03:28.53] 这诸多失而复得。
[03:29.01] 我们在此虚度光阴。
