以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供

Written By：Elvis Coste

Signal fading listen to what I'm saying

信号渐弱 请听我诉说

Testing testing

测试 测试

This better be worth all of the breath I'm wasting

但愿值得我耗费的每一口喘息

Maintaining radio silence from now on

从此刻起 保持无线电静默

Barricaded in the talk radio station

被困在这喋喋不休的电台

Hostage taken

沦为阶下囚

The red On-Air light shines on

直播红灯依旧刺眼

Something cheaper that passes for free speech

廉价之物 却冒充自由宣言

Will have to do

只能如此

Hear him coming through loud and clear

他的声音清晰传来

Trickling in your ear

在你耳边低语

He'll tell you anything you want to hear

他会说出你想听的一切

The tape starts running

磁带开始转动

He's going to tell you something

他将要告诉你些什么

The strings start strumming

琴弦开始拨动

Another humdrum conundrum

又一个乏味的谜题

Signing off now

此刻停止播报

Maintaining radio silence from now on

从此刻起 保持无线电静默

But there's one thing I should have said

但有句话我本该说出口

The hostage will end up dead

人质终将迎来死亡

It's just a comedy

这不过是场荒诞剧

The hostage is me

而我正是那个人质

So pay the ransom

所以支付赎金吧

Beyond the run-out grove

在那片枯竭的树林之外

Get my wife down here

让我妻子过来

A helicopter on the roof

派直升机降落在屋顶

No police marksman

不要安排狙击手

Maintaining radio silence from now on

从此刻起 保持无线电静默

Mystery voices

那些神秘的声音

Drowned out by too much choice

被太多选择淹没

That's not to mention

更不必说

The sad waste of this wonderful invention

这伟大发明可悲的浪费

Maintaining radio silence from now on

从此刻起 保持无线电静默

Libraries filled up with failed ideas

图书馆堆满失败的构想

There's nothing more for me there

那里已无我容身之处

I trust in tender ink and gentle airs

我只信温柔墨香与和煦微风

Do those ** dealer still polish women made of wax

那些**贩子还在打磨蜡制女人吗

Gangster and world leaders

黑帮与各国元首

Require the same protection from attack

都需要同样的武装保护

From this distance it's hard to tell the difference

在这遥远距离下 真假虚实难辨

Between a king and jack

王侯与草芥无异

And a poet and hack

诗人与庸才难分

Maintaining radio silence from now on

从此刻起 保持无线电静默
