《A Dream》歌词:
[00:16.65]It was a very cold clear fall night
[00:20.73]I had a terrible dream
[00:25.01]Billy Name and Brigid were playing under my stair case
[00:30.80]on the second floor about two o'clock in the morning
[00:33.05]
[00:33.40]I woke up
[00:36.90]because Amos and Archie had started barking
[00:39.18]That made me very angry
[00:41.62]because I wasn't feeling well and I told them
[00:44.02]I was very cross the real me
[00:46.57]that they just better remember
[00:48.11]what happened to Sam the bad cat
[00:49.97]that was left at home and got sick and went ***** heaven
[00:53.16]
[00:53.51]It was a very cold clear fall night
[01:01.22]Some snowflakes were falling
[01:05.66]Gee, it was so beautiful
[01:07.45]and so I went to get my camera to take some pictures
[01:09.44]And then I was taking the pictures
[01:12.09]but the exposure thing wasn't right
[01:14.05]and I was going to call Fred or Gerry
[01:15.74]to find out how to get set it
[01:17.43]I was too late
[01:19.18]and then I remembered they were still probably at dinner
[01:21.22]and anyway
[01:22.66]I felt really bad and didn't want to talk to anybody
[01:24.60]but the snowflakes were so beautiful and real looking
[01:29.38]and I really wanted to hold them
[01:31.97]And that's when I heard the voices
[01:34.17]from down the hall near the stairs
[01:36.21]So I got a flashlight
[01:39.64]and I was scared and I went out into the hallway
[01:42.33]There's been all kinds of troubles
[01:44.47]lately in the neighborhood
[01:46.07]and someone's got to bring home the bacon and anyway
[01:48.17]there were Brigid and Billy playing
[01:50.57]
[01:50.88]And under the stair case
[01:54.71]was a little meadow sort of like the park at 23rd street
[01:58.04]where all the young kids go and play frisbee
[02:00.33]Gee, that must be fun
[02:02.23]maybe we should do an article on that in the magazine
[02:04.57]but they'll just tell me I'm stupid and it won't sell
[02:08.01]but I'll just hold my ground this time, I mean
[02:10.79]it's my magazine, isn't it?
[02:12.58]
[02:13.28]So I was thinking that as the snowflakes fell
[02:26.14]and I heard those voices having so much fun
[02:28.53]Gee, it would be so great to have some fun
[02:31.17]So I called Billy
[02:32.88]but either he didn't hear me or he didn't want to answer
[02:35.47]which was so strange
[02:36.71]because
[02:37.47]even if I don't like reunions I've always loved Billy
[02:40.01]I'm so glad he's working
[02:42.25]I mean it's different than Ondine
[02:44.39]He keeps touring with those movies
[02:46.68]and he doesn't even pay us and the film
[02:48.77]I mean the film's just going to disintegrate and then what
[02:50.86]I mean he's so normal off of drugs
[02:53.76]I just don't get it
[02:56.15]
[02:56.50]And then I saw John Cale
[03:00.13]he's been looking really great
[03:02.02]He's been coming by the office to exercise with me
[03:03.91]Ronnie said I have a muscle
[03:05.46]but he's been really mean since he went to AA
[03:07.94]I mean what does it mean
[03:10.19]when you give up drinking and then you're still so mean
[03:12.43]He says I'm being lazy but I'm not
[03:15.22]I'm just can't find any ideas
[03:17.22]I mean I'm just not
[03:18.86]let's face it
[03:20.01]going to get any ideas up at the office
[03:22.20]
[03:22.45]And seeing John made me think of the Velvets
[03:26.54]and I had been thinking about them
[03:28.29]when I was on St. Marks Place
[03:29.93]going to that new gallery those sweet new kids have opened
[03:33.43]but the thought I was old
[03:34.70]and then I saw the old DOM
[03:36.29]the old club where we did our first shows
[03:38.08]It was so great
[03:40.42]And I don't understand about that Velvet's first album
[03:42.86]I mean I did the cover
[03:44.86]I was the producer
[03:46.00]and I always see it repackaged
[03:47.55]and I've never gotten a penny from it
[03:49.15]How could that be
[03:50.65]I should call Henry
[03:52.44]but it was good seeing John
[03:53.88]I did a cover for him
[03:55.28]but I did in black and white and he change it to color
[03:58.12]It would have been worth more if he'd left it my way
[04:01.01]but you can never tell any body anything I've leaned that
[04:04.90]
[04:05.15]I tried calling again to Billy and John
[04:09.68]they wouldn't recognize me it was like I wasn't there
[04:12.59]Why won't they let me in
[04:14.93]
[04:15.17]And then I saw Lou
[04:19.26]I'm so mad at him
[04:22.54]Lou Reed got married and didn't invite me
[04:24.83]I mean is it because he thought I'd bring too many people
[04:28.01]I don't get it
[04:30.25]could have at least called
[04:33.50]I mean he's doing so great
[04:35.09]Why doesn't he call me?
[04:36.78]I saw him at the MTV show
[04:38.72]and he was one row away and he didn't even say hello
[04:40.87]I don't get it
[04:42.71]You know I hate Lou
[04:43.96]I really do
[04:45.16]He won't even hire us for his videos
[04:46.87]And I was proud of him
[04:48.96]
[04:49.20]I was so scared today
[04:57.92]There was blood leaking thought my shirt
[05:04.75]from those old scars from being shot
[05:06.89]And the corset I wear to keep my insides in was hurting
[05:11.82]And I did three sets of fifteen pushups
[05:14.75]and four sets of ten setups
[05:17.04]But then my insides hurt
[05:19.28]and I saw drops of blood on my shirt and I remember
[05:21.82]the doctors saying I was dead
[05:24.87]And then later they had to take blood out of my hand
[05:31.19]'couse they ran out or veins
[05:32.98]but then
[05:34.02]all this thinking was making me an old grouch
[05:36.56]and you can't do anything anyway so
[05:38.86]if they wouldn't let me play with them in my own dream
[05:41.95]I was just going to have to make another
[05:44.33]and another
[05:46.37]and another
[05:48.61]Gee, wouldn't it be funny if I died in this dream
[05:56.09]before I could make another one up
[06:00.34]
[06:00.74]And nobody called
[06:10.91]
[06:17.38]And nobody came

[00:16.65]记得那是一个寒彻清朗的夜晚,
[00:20.73]我做了个糟糕透顶的梦。
[00:25.01]当时比利·内姆和布里吉德还在楼下嬉闹,
[00:30.80]就在二楼。那时已经凌晨两点了。
[00:33.40]我是被狗叫吵醒的,
[00:36.90]阿莫斯和阿奇突然开始发了疯似的狂吠。
[00:39.18]我被这阵噪音惹恼了。
[00:41.62]因为我已经跟他们几个说过了,我那天感觉糟透了。
[00:44.02]我当时神志不清,几乎要越过现实与梦境的界限。
[00:46.57]我希望那些家伙最好还记得,
[00:48.11]萨姆——那只生性顽劣的猫,
[00:49.97]是怎样被孤零零地锁在家,最终染上恶疾去见了上帝那个糟老头子的。
[00:53.51]那是个异常萧瑟冷冽的秋日的夜晚,
[01:01.22]雪花一片片狂舞般地下坠。
[01:05.66]上帝啊!那多么美啊!
[01:07.45]于是我就回屋拿来我的相机,拍了些照片。
[01:09.44]我不停地拍,
[01:12.09]但我突然发现这些胶卷的曝光好像出了点问题。
[01:14.05]我打算去找弗莱迪和加里帮忙,
[01:15.74]来看看究竟是哪儿出了毛病。
[01:17.43]可是太迟了,
[01:19.18]在我印象里他们这时应该还在吃晚餐呢。
[01:21.22]唉,去 他 妈 的,
[01:22.66]现在我整个人都被一些胡乱的思绪缠绕,我不想和任何人交流。
[01:24.60]但是这些雪花还是那么美,它们让我感到我还真实地活着。
[01:29.38]我正竭尽全力让它们在我手中停留,
[01:31.97]就在这时——那些怪声出现了。
[01:34.17]它们从厅堂靠近楼梯的那块阴暗处发出。
[01:36.21]所以我拿了个手电筒,
[01:39.64]战战兢兢地靠近了那个角落。
[01:42.33]最近这块街区
[01:44.47]老是出些怪事,
[01:46.07]但是人们的日常生活还是得继续啊......总而言之,
[01:48.17]布里吉德和比利还在玩儿呢。
[01:50.88]在楼下
[01:54.71]有一座和23号街公园相似的公园。
[01:58.04]年轻人都喜欢去那儿玩飞碟。
[02:00.33]上帝啊,那一定很有趣,
[02:02.23]我们简直应该写一篇报道刊在杂志上!
[02:04.57]但那些人应该只会把我当成蠢货吧,毕竟你知道,这种与性和绯闻无关的报刊是卖不出去的。
[02:08.01]不过还是让我固执己见一回吧,
[02:10.79]你懂吧这他 妈可是我办的杂志不是吗?
[02:13.28]刚刚那些屁话就是这些美丽雪花落下时我所想的。
[02:26.14]我能听见雪花碰撞,黏着,最终掉落在地上的声音。这还真是有趣。
[02:28.53]天哪,我太享受现在的时光了!
[02:31.17]于是我想把比利也叫来,
[02:32.88]但是天知道他是没听见还是他他 妈 的根本就不想回答,
[02:35.47]太怪异了......
[02:36.71]因为,
[02:37.47]虽然我从不享受重逢的快乐,但我一直都很喜欢比利。
[02:40.01]我为他坚持工作感到欣慰。
[02:42.25]和奥丁那小子不同,
[02:44.39]这小子总喜欢在旅途中蹭我们的电影看
[02:46.68]还从来不付钱!
[02:48.77]我想说的是——那些电影都被反反复复看到影像都磨损了,
[02:50.86]好吧我的意思是......他没了药以后也没啥特别的。
[02:53.76]我只是不太明白他为什么会那个样子。
[02:56.50]在我的脑子被那几个小子搅得正乱的时候我看见了约翰凯尔,
[03:00.13]他看起来过得还挺好的。
[03:02.02]他走过办公室,打算和我一起锻炼一会儿。
[03:03.91]罗尼说过我有点健壮,
[03:05.46]但是自从他去过AA了以后就变得非常刻薄。
[03:07.94]这他妈是啥意思呢?
[03:10.19]既然你酒都戒了你咋还能嘴贱得跟个醉鬼一样?
[03:12.43]他断言我就是个懒汉但我他 妈才不是!
[03:15.22]我只是,你懂吗?失去了创造生活的灵感!
[03:17.22]我的意思是我根本就不是那样的人。
[03:18.86]算了还是面对现实吧,
[03:20.01]老老实实回到办公桌前去寻找那根本不存在的灵感吧......
[03:22.45]我瞅着约翰,他总是让我想起地下丝绒。
[03:26.54]然后接下来我的脑子里就一直塞满了那些陈年旧事?!
[03:28.29]当我走到圣马可广场,
[03:29.93]我去了那家由几个年轻人经营的杂货店。
[03:33.43]但在那我总是忍不住去想:我已经不再年轻了。
[03:34.70]然而这时我看到了老多姆,
[03:36.29]我年轻时在那儿有了第一次乐队表演。
[03:38.08]那段记忆真是美好。年轻真好,对吧?
[03:40.42]其实我也不明白地下丝绒的第一张专辑究竟想表达些什么,
[03:42.86]即使我就是主唱本人
[03:44.86]以及它的制作人。
[03:46.00]我这些年甚至常常操刀重制
[03:47.55]还从没想过从这里面赚一分钱!
[03:49.15]这我都是怎么做到的?!
[03:50.65]我应该打电话问问亨利,
[03:52.44]不过话说回来能看到约翰也不错。
[03:53.88]为他我又重制了一遍。
[03:55.28]不过我还是秉持着我以往的极端作风,而他把它改得花哨了些。
[03:58.12]其实要是他能由着我来效果应该会更好。
[04:01.01]但你绝对无法跟任何人讲明白的是,
[04:05.15]我发现无论我怎么用电话去联系比利和约翰
[04:09.68]他们都无法认出那是我,好像我就从未出现过一样。
[04:12.59]为什么他们就从来都只会阻拦我呢?
[04:15.17]这时我看到了Lou Reed,
[04:19.26]我真的生他的气。
[04:22.54]他结婚的时候竟然没有邀请我!
[04:24.83]他可能觉得我一定会带来一大帮子人吧。
[04:28.01]我不太明白。
[04:30.25]起码他得把他该做的给做好吧。
[04:33.50]他那婚礼办得是不错,
[04:35.09]但他为什么就是不叫我来呢?
[04:36.78]我看到他上MTV表演了,
[04:38.72]他一直站在舞台侧面,那种最不引人注目的位置。
[04:40.87]这也让我搞不明白。
[04:42.71]你知道的我讨厌Lou Reed,
[04:43.96]真的非常讨厌。
[04:45.16]他甚至都不愿意让我沾染一点他的录音工作。
[04:46.87]但我还是为他骄傲。
[04:49.20]我今天被吓坏了。
[04:57.92]鲜血就那样慢慢渗透我的衬衫,
[05:04.75]从我年少时重了子儿的伤口里涓涓地流出来。
[05:06.89]我穿的用来箍紧内脏的束腹勒得我生疼。
[05:11.82]我试着做了四十五个俯卧撑
[05:14.75]和四十个仰卧起坐,
[05:17.04]但我的伤口还是隐隐作痛。
[05:19.28]我看到我衣服上的血迹逐渐染成大片鲜红,
[05:21.82]我清晰地记得医生告诉我,我没救了。我要死了。
[05:24.87]没过多久医护人员就开始清洗我手上的血渍了,
[05:31.19]因为我的血液正从我的静脉里喷涌出来。
[05:32.98]就这么一小会儿,
[05:34.02]我已经感觉到这些无用的想法正在把我变成一个怨妇,
[05:36.56]而且既然所有人都已经对我束手无策了,
[05:38.86]我自己又始终不被大家接纳,
[05:41.95]那我就再做一个,
[05:44.33]一个又一个
[05:46.37]崭新的梦。
[05:48.61]上帝啊,要是我能在这个梦境里死掉那该有多有趣啊。
[05:56.09]在我开启下一个梦境之前,死彻底。
[06:00.74]在有人开始无休止的烦我之前,死彻底。
[06:17.38]在我的尸体被人找到之前,死彻底。
