(Brooker / Reid)

We skipped the light fandango
Kami melompati tarian ceria
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
melakukan salto di atas lantai
I was feeling kinda seasick
Aku merasa agak mual
but the crowd called out for more
tapi kerumunan memanggil untuk lebih banyak

The room was humming harder
Ruangan bergetar lebih keras
as the ceiling flew away
saat langit-langitnya seakan menghilang
When we called out for another drink
Ketika kami memanggil untuk minuman lagi
the waiter brought a tray
pelayan membawa nampan

And so it was that later
Dan begitulah kemudian
as the miller told his tale
saat penggiling bercerita
that her face, at first just ghostly,
bahwa wajahnya, pada awalnya hanya seperti hantu,
turned a whiter shade of pale
berubah menjadi nuansa pucat yang lebih cerah

She said, 'There is no reason
Dia berkata, 'Tidak ada alasan
and the truth is plain to see.'
dan kebenarannya jelas terlihat.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
Tapi aku melamun lewat kartu mainku
and would not let her be
dan tidak membiarkannya pergi

one of sixteen vestal virgins
salah satu dari enam belas perawan suci
who were leaving for the coast
yang akan pergi ke pantai
and although my eyes were open
dan meskipun mataku terbuka
they might have just as well've been closed
mereka mungkin saja tertutup

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
Dia berkata, 'Aku di rumah untuk cuti,'
though in truth we were at sea
meskipun sebenarnya kami di tengah laut
so I took her by the looking glass
jadi aku membawanya melalui cermin
and forced her to agree
dan memaksanya untuk setuju

saying, 'You must be the mermaid
sambil berkata, 'Kau pasti putri duyung
who took Neptune for a ride.'
yang mengajak Neptune berlayar.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
Tapi dia tersenyum padaku dengan sedih
that my anger straightway died
hingga kemarahanku langsung padam

If music be the food of love
Jika musik adalah makanan cinta
then laughter is its queen
maka tawa adalah ratunya
and likewise if behind is in front
dan jika belakang ada di depan
then dirt in truth is clean
maka kotoran sebenarnya adalah bersih

My mouth by then like cardboard
Mulutku saat itu seperti kardus
seemed to slip straight through my head
seakan meluncur langsung ke kepalaku
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
Jadi kami terjun bebas dengan cepat
and attacked the ocean bed
dan menyerang dasar laut
