Pressure Machine

We met dragging Main at Spanish Fork.
And he wasnt moving away from here,
so it wasnt really—
And we could build a house here. But—

Hopell set your eyes agleam
願你眼中閃爍著光
Like four feet dangling in the stream
好像雙腳懸垂在溪流之上
But the Kingdom of God, its a pressure machine
可是那天國呀，是個壓力機
Every step, gotta keep it clean
每一戳，把美好掃平盪淨
A mattress on a hardwood floor
木地板上一鋪單薄的褥席
Who could ever ask for more?
夫復何求？這是我此生的托寄
Ill get up and cut the grass
我要起床要修剪那草坪
Aint nothing wrong with working class
還有什麼不滿做個工人階級

I, I dont remember the last time you asked how I was
我已不記起上次你問我好是何地何昔
Dont you feel the time slipping away?
歲月在消逝你也感覺到了嗎？
It aint funny at all
我沒開玩笑
Its gonna break your heart one day
總有一天你要為此心碎

Keep the debt cloud off the kids
別讓孩子看見陰翳的人間
Only sunshine on their lids
只要陽光只要四月的晴天
Jiminy Cricket and Power Wheels
傑明尼蟋蟀動力輪童車
And memories of Happy Meals
麥當勞套餐也不要錯過
Sometimes I look at the stars
有時我望著滿天星辰
And think about how small we are
想到你我不過滄海一粟
Sweating it out in the pressure machine
壓力機裡冒著一滴滴血汗
Good till the last drop
直到最後一滴也被榨乾

Why dont you say little things?
你快快閉了星雲之眼
Butterflies dont just dance on a string
跳舞的蝴蝶比你想像中更要樂觀
It feels like you clipped all their wings
何苦要折了雙翅意興闌珊
And every year goes by faster than the one before
花開花落又一年快似離弦箭

Weve had that treadmill now for months
胸中的激情已消失多日
I think she mightve used it once
我還以為她早已習慣
If I shut my mouth and keep the peace
若我沉默不語保持靜寂
Shell cook my eggs in bacon grease
也許她就不會將這一切重又想起
Lifell grow you a big red rose
生活為你長出一朵火紅的玫瑰
Then rip it from beneath your nose
然後在你眼前把她撕碎
Run it through the pressure machine
歷經壓褶與重重塑煉
And spit you out a name tag memory
吐出一片記憶任你回味
