精神錯亂，精神錯亂，散發自心中
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
但你知道，你知道，從一開始就知道

And Hawking will tell us no tall tales this spring
霍金會告訴我們，這個春天沒有荒誕故事
Reminds holds the key eyes that started everything
提醒擁有鑰匙，開啟了這一切
Maybe it's fate, when the sadness takes hold
也許是命運，在悲傷變強大之際
Still stars through a window, will they ever know this
群星依然懸掛窗外，它們可曾知道

Madness, madness of the heart
精神錯亂，精神錯亂，散發自心中
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
但你知道，你知道，從一開始就知道
There's a madness, a madness of the heart
有一股精神錯亂，一股精神錯亂，散發自心中
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
但你知道，你知道，從一開始就知道

Stare a sleepy smile into a sun beam
向一縷陽光投一個犯困的微笑
There's nothing more than a daydream
沒什麼好比一個白日夢
Colored stained glass cathedral
絢麗染色的教堂玻璃
Confess a past that won't let you go
告解一場過去，不會把你放開

God rest your head Sunday afternoon
上帝讓你頭腦休息，在星期天的下午
And the wicked in me is surely coming through
我裡面的邪惡鐵定是來了
Pray to a ghost that I've never met
向鬼魂禱告，我從未見過它
Still searchin' for someway out of this mess
在尋找一個方法脫離這困境

It's the heart
是心
It's the heart
是心
And there is a madness, a madness in the stars
有一股精神錯亂，精神錯亂在群星中
But you knew it, you knew it from the start
但你知道，你知道，從一開始就知道

Hmmmmmmmmm
嗯...
Hmmmmmmmmm
嗯...

But your face is like a paper-cut to the heart

In a brick wall's wooden door

Change are keeping quite secrets

And the graveyard on Elizabeth, no one ever goes

Kneeling praying to a gravestone

Now I'm asking a witch doctor but the witch doctor won't tell
現在我在向巫醫詢問，但巫醫沒透露秘密

T[中文歌詞翻譯] London by Vanessa Carlton (Rabbits On The Run, 2011)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"London"
“倫敦”

Waste away the days
虛度光陰
Waiting on a new age
等候新的歲數
But time betrays me
但時間背叛了我
And I get older one more year
我又老了一歲

Walk London's windy streets
在倫敦刮風的街頭走著
Go anywhere but home
除了家去哪裡都行
'Cause I'm looking for the secrets
因為我在尋找那些秘密
That only cobble stones hold

Only the cobble stones know

And I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come

You've got a knife-throwing kind of love
But your silence cuts the deepest
And I know I've made a mess of things
And I'm sorry for all that
Wish we could get the time back

Because I've never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come
Wait for it
Wait for it

Now I'm staring at the sun
As if there's a riddle I'm not in on
'Cause the wolves howl to the Moon
And she never answers back
No, she never answers back

And after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never, never been so sure
That after all these years, I'll never learn
That heavenly creatures never come, oh

Waste away the days
Waiting on a new age

T[中文歌詞翻譯] I Don't Want To Be A Bride by Vanessa Carlton (Rabbits On The Run, 2011)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"I Don't Want To Be A Bride"

I like your company
Got a fresh philosophy
Never knew
Such a gentleman
You can take me on a cheap vacation
I don’t wanna have expectations 'cause you
Could be the end of me
And I don’t need a house on a hill
A swing on a tree
Grandfather Clock
Porcelain for tea
A garden
With rose and Jasmine

Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side

But I don’t wanna be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don’t wanna wear white
You know it’s too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh could it be

Don’t need no golden ring
It’d be no match for the love it brings
From London
To Tennessee
We could
Catch a train to another life
On a whim, under the moonlight
I promise you
Will you promise me?

Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm in arm, where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side

But I don’t wanna be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don’t wanna wear white
Oh, you know it’s too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Oh could it be
Just you and me?

I, I, I
We will live like kings
Under lavender
Skies
Skies
We will live like kings
Under lavender
Skies
Skies

Built a poem, we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
We wrote
We wrote a legacy
Just you and me

Just like kings under lavender
Skies
Skies
We will

T[中文歌詞翻譯] Carousel by Vanessa Carlton (Rabbits On The Run, 2011)

Vanessa Carlton Lyrics
"Carousel"

For all you broken-hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run

It's hard to know what's good for you
I know she let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down

And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Never too late to change the pace
When the days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you

And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Ooh, Oooh, Oooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh,ooh, oooh

[2x]
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
It's the owl casting spells that we're under
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
It's the owl casting spells that we're under

Under...

And all I hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

It's in the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend

Time won't wait, so don't be late
White rabbits on the run
