Dress Rehearsal Rag. - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
I got some time in the afternoon
下午我有时间
And I didn't feel like very much
但是我非常不喜欢
I said to myself

Where are you golden boy
有成就的男孩 你在哪里
Where is your famous golden touch
你有名的点金术在哪里
I thought you knew
我以为你知道
Where all of the elephants lie down
在那里所有的大象都倒下
I thought that you were the crown prince
我以为你是皇太子
Of all the wheels in Ivory Town
所有象牙城镇的轮子
Look at your body now

There's nothing much to save

And a bitter voice in the mirror cries
一个苦涩的声音对着镜子哭泣
Hey Prince you need a shave

But if you can manage to get
现在假如你可以控制得住
Your trembling fingers to behave

Why don't you try unwrapping
为什么不试着展开
A stainless steel razor blade

That's right it's come to this

Yes it's come to this

And wasn't it a strange way down

Cover up your face with soap there

And it's stopping at your face

Yes it's come to this

Once there was a path
