Diplomat’s Son

It's not right but it's now or never
這是不對的 但現在不做就再無機會

那如果我等等 我能原諒自己嗎？
And if I wait could I ever forgive myself?
黃色的月亮從洶湧的河水上升起

房子裡嗡嗡作響的電視機發出亮光
On a night when the moon glows yellow in the riptide
我得找個能讓我離開的地方

然後從他們背後逃走
With the light from the TV's buzzing in the house
要是我想得手那就是現在了

但我始終不認為我能給你你想要的
Cause I'm gonna cut it where I can
這樣給你太殘酷了
And then I'm gonna duck out behind them
當我做這一切都只是利用你的時候
If I ever had a chance it's now then
他曾是外交官的兒子
But I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
那是1981年的事了

他曾是外交官的兒子
To offer it to you would be cruel
那是1981年的事了
When all I want to do is use, use you
身穿白色的衣服把我的車鑰匙藏在廚房裡
He was a diplomat's son
只要躺下我在哪兒都能睡著

看到你的兩隻鞋都在浴缸裡
It was '81
讓我知道我不能就此放棄

我要從Siom那裡搶走它
He was the diplomat's son
然後從他們背後逃走

要是我想得手那就是現在了
It was '81
但我始終不認為我能給你你想要的

這樣給你太殘酷了
Dressed in white with my car keys hidden in the kitchen
當我做這一切都只是利用你的時候

他曾是外交官的兒子
I could sleep wherever I lay my head
那是1981年的事了

他曾是外交官的兒子
And the sight of your two shoes sitting in the bathtub
那是1981年的事了

我知道你會說
Let me know that I shouldn't give up just yet
我這樣做不對

但我就想這樣得到它
Cause I'm gonna take it from Simon
我再也回不去了
And then I'm gonna duck out behind them
回到最初的時候
If I ever had a chance it's now then
那天晚上我和我最好的朋友
but I never had the feeling I could offer that to you
抽了根

我們上床了
To offer it to you would be cruel
我醒來時他已經走了

他曾是外交官的兒子
When all I want to dois use, use you
那是1981年的事了

他曾是外交官的兒子
He was a diplomat's son
那是1981年的事了
It was '81
在包圍我的如冰般寒冷的水里向外看

我找不到去那個地方的路了
He was the diplomat's son
黑夜里大風肆虐著河水的時候

有輛掛外交牌照的黑色轎車開走了
It was '81

I know, you'll say

I' m not doing it right

but this is how I want it

I can't go back

To how I felt before

That night I smoked a joint
With my best friend
We found ourselves in bed
When I woke up he was gone

He was the diplomat's son

It was '81

He was the diplomat's son
It was '81

Looking out at the ice cold water all around me

I can't feel any traces of that other place

In the dark when the wind comes racing off the river

There's a car all black with diplomatic plates
