Well, this has got to die
嗯.. 这必须结束
I said, this has got to stop
我说，这必须停止
This has got to lie down
这必须屈从
With someone else on top
当已有其他人在心上
Well, you can keep me pinned
你可以将我牵制
It's easier to tease
更轻易地戏弄
But you can't paint an elephant
但你无法绘出一只大象
Quite as good as she
像她画的一样好
And she may cry like a baby
她可能哭得像个小孩
And she may drive me crazy
她也可能使我神魂颠倒
'Cause I am lately, lonely
可能是因我近来孤寂
So why'd you have to lie?
那么你何必要说谎
I take it I'm your crutch
我接受 “我是你的依靠”
The pillow in your pillow case
枕头就在你的枕头套里
Is easier to touch
更触手可及了
And when you think you've sinned
而当你觉得你犯了罪错
Do you fall upon your knees?
你是否会跪下双膝祈求宽恕？
Or do you sit within your picture?
又或者你沉坐在你的记忆画片里？
Do you still forget the breeze?
依然忘却那份初衷（悸动）？
And she may rise, if I sing you down
如果我放下你，她可能还会有机会
And she may wisely cling to the ground
而她也许聪明地固守着这段距离
Cause I am lately, horny
可能是因我近来多情
So why would she take me thorny?
可为何她让我这般苦痛？
What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
这首歌的重点是什么？或只是无病呻吟？
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
你早已经离开，为何我仍在坚持
Well, I could throw it out, and I could live without
好吧，我可以抛弃这枷锁，没有它我也能过活
And I could do it all for you
我能为你付出一切
I could be strong
我能变得坚强
Tell me if you want me to lie
告诉我，如果你真的希望听我说谎
'Cause this has got to die
因为，这段感情必须结束
I said, this has got to stop
我说，这必须停止了..
This has got to lie down, down
必须屈从了..
With someone else on top
当已有其他人在心上
You can both keep me pinned
你们都可以将我牵制
'Cause it's easier to tease
因而能更尽情地玩弄
But you can't make me happy
但是你们无法使我真的开心
Quite as good as me
像我做的那样好
Well, you know that's a lie
唉.. 你明白那是个谎话..

Ps. The "elephant" is, to me, about being unforgetable - irreplaceable. Like the "elephant in the room", and how "an elephant never forgets".
