當我唱起歌，他們叫我停下來
They heard me singing and they told me to stop
丟掉這些多餘的事，只管打卡上下班
Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock
這些日子，我的人生感覺枯燥古板
These days, my life, I feel it has no purpose
但在深夜，情緒總會湧上心懷
But late at night the feelings swim to the surface
水面上，城市的燈光閃耀
Cause on the surface the city lights shine
它們向我呼喊：「快來找你的同類吧」
They're calling at me, "Come and find your kind"
有時，這個世界似乎如此狹小
Sometimes, I wonder if the world's so small
讓我們永遠無法擺脫這不斷擴張的城市
That we can never get away from the sprawl
住在那擴張的城市中
Living in the sprawl
死氣沉沉的購物中心一座接著一座
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
遙望不見盡頭
And there's no end in sight
我需要黑暗，拜託誰關上燈吧
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights
我們踏上腳踏車來到最近的公園
We rode our bikes to the nearest park
趁著夜色，在鞦韆上親吻
Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark
你的手遮在我眼前，擋住警車閃爍的光
You shield my eyes from the police lights
我們開始逃離，卻不知為何
We run away, but we don't know why
黑河上湧動著城市燈火
Black River, your city lights shine
他們尖叫道：「我們不需要你們這樣的人」
They're screaming at us, "we don't need your kind."
有時，這個世界似乎如此狹小
Sometimes, I wonder if the world's so small
讓我們永遠無法擺脫這不斷擴張的城市
That we can never get away from the sprawl
住在那擴張的城市中
Living in the sprawl
死氣沉沉的購物中心一座接著一座
Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains
遙望不見盡頭
And there's no end in sight
我需要黑暗，拜託誰關上燈吧
I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights

老實說，"Black River, your city lights shine"那句，我不太懂是什麼意思
原本還以為歌詞是錯的，後來發現這就是官方給的版本。啊算了，就來猜一猜吧
