Words upon words[00:00:08]
一言一句[00:00:13]
Stack the tower of Babel[00:00:13]
建造通天塔[00:00:20]
Brick on brick on straw on clay[00:00:20]
一砖一瓦铺上稻草铺上粘土[00:00:31]
But a whispering stirs[00:00:31]
只有窃窃私语[00:00:38]
And the structure's unstable[00:00:38]
结构不稳定[00:00:44]
When all the scaffold's stripped away [00:00:44]
当我卸下所有的枷锁[00:00:55]
We're ever quick to aver[00:00:55]
我们总是迫不及待[00:01:01]
That we are ready and able[00:01:01]
我们已经做好准备[00:01:07]
But we can't say what's coming come what may [00:01:07]
可我们无法预知未来[00:01:19]
By definition self-obsessed[00:01:19]
从定义上说自恋[00:01:25]
We strive to make ourselves plain[00:01:25]
我们努力让自己变得简单明了[00:01:31]
With words that pass the acid test[00:01:31]
我说的话都能经受住考验[00:01:34]
With passive thought in train [00:01:34]

Words upon words [00:02:26]
一言一句[00:02:31]
Fiction folly and fable [00:02:31]
幻想荒唐可笑的故事[00:02:38]
Each pregnant pause a dead giveaway [00:02:38]
每一次怀孕都说明了一切[00:02:50]
Ploughing on undeterred[00:02:50]
坚持不懈地耕耘[00:02:54]
As the sell-bys expire on our labels[00:02:54]
我们的厂牌销售一空[00:03:01]
Though at length we'll have little or nothing to say[00:03:01]
尽管到最后我们会无话可说[00:03:13]
It would be too absurd[00:03:13]
这太荒谬了[00:03:18]
To spend life all agaze at our navels -[00:03:18]
让我们的一生都为我们的肚脐感到骄傲[00:03:26]
Oh we've got such limited time to go on and explain [00:03:26]
我们时间有限无法解释清楚[00:03:37]
So running off at the mouth [00:03:37]
信口开河[00:03:43]
We all get carried away[00:03:43]
我们都忘乎所以[00:03:49]
Uncertain when it all goes south[00:03:49]
不确定何时会出问题[00:03:52]
If we mean what we say [00:03:52]
如果我们说到做到[00:03:58]
If we mean what we say[00:03:58]
如果我们说到做到[00:04:03]
