You will excuse me if I skip the masquerade

And he's the darling of the chic

The flavor of the week is melting Down your pretty summer dressBaby, what a mess you're making
短暂的时髦沿着你的夏裙慢慢熔化，亲爱的，你看起来是多么的糟糕
I've been stumbling through some dark places

Now I'm following the plow

I know I've fallen out of your good graces

It's alright now

And I've been waiting in the weeds
我的心一直在荒芜中等待
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the Wild birds scattering the seeds
等待着如野鸟传宗接代般夏雨的进攻
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
The phases of the moon
The chambers of the heart
The egg and dart
钱伯斯的心情如月有圆缺般，一起随着潮汐的起伏投掷着鹅卵石而形成永恒的乐章
A small gray spider spinning in the dark
一只小灰蜘蛛在黑暗中织着网
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart
尽管这只网已经破碎不堪
And I've been waiting in the weeds
我的心一直在荒芜中等待
Waiting for my time to come around again and
等待我的幸运时刻再次到来
Hope is floating on the breeze

Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
带着我的灵魂飞向高处
I've been keepin' to myself

Knowin' that the seasons are slowly changing you

And though you're with somebody else
