走了一段路以後

Tom 才說　其實Ａｌｉｃｅ是虛構的

　　　　　其實是位看不見的存在者

Andrew沒說話　　頭枕在剛雨停的窗台上

　　　　　　　　用一根煙的沉默　回應


Along an ice pound with a frozen moon

看來今晚是無緣看見了


Tom手伸去到時鐘的背後　　調回年輕的那段時間

喝完手中最後一口威士忌　

　　　　　　　　　　　　牆　依舊斑駁著色彩

[How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?]　

Tom搖晃著腦袋　胡謅　　下巴鬍渣刺痛一個名字

Andrew想問說Ａｌｉｃｅ不是虛構的吧　　是嗎

杯子裡的僅存的冰塊化掉這個疑問

就像[I disappear in your name]一樣

已經　即已經不再重要了


如果嘴唇也能夠儲藏記憶

[And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss]

應該窖藏出很烈的　適合浸泡嗓子的一首歌

那該用什麼容器來裝　　船早已沒頂

從冰凍的月亮上敲出一塊冰來

應該可以調出今晚最好入喉的溫度

滑入喉嚨的　其實還有一個名字


如果叫不太出來的話


Tom & Andrew都稱作是Ａｌｉｃｅ

那是個允許追溯　　而且秘密的一個名字




你也有個Ａｌｉｃｅ吧




(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan)

It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an ice pound with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pound
They spell Alice

I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice

Arithmetic arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier

And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice

And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice
