Paradise Hotel

Eliza Gilkyson

sailing cross the seas
在海上航行
pursuing sorry ships don't know they're sinking
寻找失踪的船只却不知它们已经沉没
holddddd on until all hope is gone
一直坚持直到所有希望都破灭
focusing my eyes on distant stars so far away they're blinking
on and off and on and off and on
看着远处闪烁的星星
一直不停的闪烁
but the bird in my hand is promising paradise
可是我心里的那个人允诺会有天堂
venture forth from cave
（走出洞穴）开始冒险
to conquer everything that's moving
去征服一切
pleasure never really lasddddd very long
快乐从来不会持续的很长
roller coaster ride the lows the highs
毫无目的徜徉在平原高山上
feels like you're grooving
似乎你很享受
though it's on and off and on and off and on
尽管一切都在不停的继续
手中的鸟儿希望会有天堂
and the bird in my hand is promising paradise
all the actors in your play will do their part and go their way
戏剧里的演员们都在扮演着各自的角色
or dance as long as you will pay
只要你付钱，他们就不会停止舞蹈
but she will never fly away
但她却不会离去
man behind the curtain
幕后的那个人
pulls the levers for the sheep
操纵着这些驯服的人们
for me tonight there'll be no sleep until the dawn
我今夜将无眠到天亮
neon sign from paradise hotel across the street
对街天堂旅馆的霓虹标志
is blinking on and off and on and off and on
一直不停的闪烁
and the bird in my hand is promising paradise
心里的那个人允诺会有天堂
