Remember when the days were long
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky
didn't I have a care in the world
with mommy and daddy standing by
but 'happily ever after' falls
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
the lawyers dwell on small details
since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
that's still untouched by men
we'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
and the tall grass waves in the wind
you can lay your head back on the ground
and let your hair fall all around me
after up your best defense
but this is the end
this is end of the innocence
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fall
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And wash away this sin
we'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
and the tall grass waves in the wind
you can lay your head back on the ground
and let your hair fall all around me
after up your best defense
but this is the end
this is end of the innocence
Who know how long this will last
Now we've come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground
and let your hair fall all around me
after up your best defense
but this is the end
this is end of the innocence
纯真不再
还记得那些日子
白天好长好长天空好蓝好蓝
无忧无虑的我们对世事还不在乎
因为有爸妈在旁担待一切
然而那“从此，公主与王子就过著幸福快乐的日子”的寓言
其实并不存在
我们长久以来深受这些童话的毒害
而因为父亲的不告而别
律师们忙着处理细节问题
但是我知道还有这么个地方可去
那里的一切都尚未受到人类的破坏
我俩可以静坐默看飘过的云
和风里摇摆的长草
在这儿你可以恣意的躺下
任发丝布满我的全身
献上你对这世界所有的防备
但是要记住纯真无知的年代已不复存在
已不复存在
喔! 多美啊! 那一望无际的蓝天
而如今蓝天似乎都成了威胁
为了那位被我们推选为领袖的疲惫老人
他们必须把犁头打造成武器
稳坐在安乐椅上的武士往往会遭受失败
我们长久以来深受这些童话的毒害
因为父亲的不诚实
律师们忙着处理细节问题
但是我知道还有这么个地方可去
那里我们一切的罪恶都得以被一洗而净
我俩可以静坐默看飘过的云
和风里摇摆的长草
在这儿你可以恣意的躺下
任发丝布满我的全身
献上你对这世界所有的防备
但是要记住纯真无知的年代已不复存在
已不复存在
天晓得这一切还要持续多久
我们已在这么短的时间经历了这么许多
然而在尘嚣远处
那座熟悉的小镇仍在我们内心的深处屹立不摇
我必须想办法去记住这一切
所以亲爱的请在我颊上留下一吻
在我们道别离之际
让我再好好的看你最后一眼
就这么恣意的躺下吧!
任发丝布满我的全身
献上你对这世界所有的防备
但是要记住纯真无知的年代已不复存在
已不复存在
