[00:15.42]
[00:19.14] Zoom in the lens on a wild, wild East
[00:21.24] See a clever girl, daughter of a squanderer
[00:23.27] Dressed in second hand love, fibers so tough
[00:26.43] Clinging by a thread but she hauled herself up
[00:27.43]
[00:28.76] Yearned for higher learning, didn’t have the right chromosomes
[00:30.98] Told her only duty was to pass his chromosomes
[00:33.46] Hard pass, to the mountains she fled
[00:35.86] Rocked out on the organ with a chorus of kids
[00:36.86]
[00:38.41] Soundtrack to a carefree time
[00:40.53] Green jagged hills kept the chaos in line
[00:42.80] Gold dust sprinkled all over the place, over the clothes, over the hair
[00:43.80]
[00:47.40] Everyday a celebration in the tropical heights
[00:49.73] River mirror glowed with the purple twilight
[00:52.24] Evening boat rides on a gentle wave of clouds
[00:54.69] And she would row this way and that way
[00:55.69]
[00:57.68] This way, that way
[00:59.90] This way, that way
[01:02.34] Which way she will row
[01:04.20] Nobody knows, nobody knows
[01:05.20]
[01:07.15] This way, that way
[01:09.50] This way, that way
[01:11.93] Which way she will row
[01:13.64] Nobody knows, she doesn’t know
[01:14.64]
[01:16.59] Now and then she would get a rosy letter
[01:18.52] Every brushstroke drew a better future
[01:20.76] But the sketches in ink never came to be
[01:23.05] Blotted out by a storm fast approaching it was time to flee
[01:25.05]
[01:26.33] Hitched to the wagon of a slumbering beast
[01:28.74] Rolling over rocks at a breakheart speed
[01:31.12] Mad dash ascending to a city on the hill
[01:33.38] But the race didn’t stop at the top
[01:34.38]
[01:35.36] She found herself trapped in a cauldron of heat
[01:37.67] Surrounded by a feast but only given scraps to eat
[01:40.72] Lights came on, masks came off, orders came down,
[01:43.45] Dirty laundry piling up
[01:44.45]
[01:44.91] And out from underneath she crawled to the window
[01:47.58] Peeked through the pane, the moon gave the go ahead
[01:49.96] Open the hatch, the cool wind lifted her wings, carried her out, over the wall, off she flew
[01:50.96]
[01:55.22] This way, that way
[01:57.46] This way, that way
[01:59.80] Which way she will fly
[02:01.78] Nobody knows, nobody knows
[02:02.78]
[02:04.73] This way, that way
[02:06.92] This way, that way
[02:09.40] Which way she will fly
[02:11.29] Nobody knows, she doesn’t know
[02:13.25]
[02:33.48] From the summit she bobbed down the river
[02:35.35] Current so erratic she learned to maneuver the ball
[02:38.37] Each bounce gathering dialects, black and white photographs, three little ones and
[02:39.37]
[02:43.13] Always in motion, surrounded by commotion
[02:45.14] Contamination came out in the wash of the ocean
[02:48.01] What remains is a childhood collection of music and words
[02:51.48] Minus the hurt
[02:52.48]
[02:52.83] Many years later she dreams of the weather in the tropical heights
[02:56.36] Can’t quite recall that purple twilight nor the names, the faces, the green and the gold
[03:01.17] But the feeling is the same
[03:02.17]
[03:02.44] Never had a compass built according to plan
[03:04.73] Caught a few breaks and the arrow would bend but it never ever came to a stop
[03:09.14] It’d either go this way or that way
[03:10.14]
[03:12.04] This way, that way
[03:14.33] This way, that way
[03:16.81] Which way she will dream
[03:18.60] Nobody knows, nobody knows
[03:19.60]
[03:21.67] This way, that way
[03:23.87] This way, that way
[03:26.27] Which way she will dream
[03:28.23] Nobody knows, only she knows
[03:31.29]

[00:14.42]
[00:15.42]
[00:19.14] 将镜头东移 再向东移
[00:21.24] 看见一位伶俐少女 其父浪荡不羁
[00:23.27] 她穿着心爱的二手货 一身粗布烂衣
[00:26.43] 虽整日缝缝补补 却心有壮志宏图
[00:27.43]
[00:28.76] 她高呼寻求新知识 却无聪慧天赋
[00:30.98] 她唯一使命便是为其丈夫传宗续祖
[00:33.46] 谁甘如此 她溜去山坡
[00:35.86] 同合唱队的小孩纵歌狂舞
[00:36.86]
[00:38.41] 靠音乐换得忧虑无
[00:40.53] 崎岖山坡铺满绿布
[00:42.80] 金色尘光四处飘浮 跌在头发 粘上衣服
[00:43.80]
[00:47.40] 热带高地每日都有盛会在此处
[00:49.73] 薄暮紫光投入水中熠熠夺目
[00:52.24] 夜里轻舟如在云端晃荡寻路
[00:54.69] 而那少女将拨开一片又一片迷途
[00:55.69]
[00:57.68] 从此处到彼处
[00:59.90] 从此处到彼处
[01:02.34] 走哪一条路
[01:04.20] 无人知晓 无人知晓
[01:05.20]
[01:07.15] 是这条路 还是那条路
[01:09.50] 走这里 或去那里
[01:11.93] 她会怎么选
[01:13.64] 无人清楚 她也迷茫
[01:14.64]
[01:16.59] 她如今时时收到动人情书
[01:18.52] 字字勾勒出憧憬前途
[01:20.76] 但她从未着墨回应
[01:23.05] 风暴将近 或许这是逃避最好的时机
[01:25.05]
[01:26.33] 她驱着心中沉睡猛兽
[01:28.74] 驶过石路 心碎无比
[01:31.12] 愤恨鞭笞着自己去往山坡上的城市
[01:33.38] 但登顶后却无法止住自己
[01:34.38]
[01:35.36] 坠入炙烤着的压抑陷阱
[01:37.67] 周围皆是饕餮 独身却只能食弃羹
[01:40.72] 工作结束 归家开灯 卸下面具
[01:43.45] 仍有一摞脏衣未洗
[01:44.45]
[01:44.91] 她瘫倒在地 趴在窗边
[01:47.58] 从窗格往外睨 月亮也相视不语
[01:49.96] 打开窗户 冷风吹起她双翅 带她飞出房间 攀越墙垣
[01:50.96]
[01:55.22] 从这里飞到那里
[01:57.46] 从家里飞向远方
[01:59.80] 她将飘向何处
[02:01.78] 无人知晓 无人知晓
[02:02.78]
[02:04.73] 这里或那里
[02:06.92] 这里或那里
[02:09.40] 她会飞向何方
[02:11.29] 无人清楚 她也迷茫
[02:13.25]
[02:33.48] 她从高处飞向低处 往河流俯冲
[02:35.35] 虽说水流不稳 她却已经熟练潜泳
[02:38.37] 每每浮出水面都会习得一些方言 还会收集黑白色的老照片
[02:39.37]
[02:43.13] 她与两物不停往前 漩涡绕身均不阻其步
[02:45.14] 即便身出大海不免沾了其中污浊
[02:48.01] 儿时的音乐文字仍贮留不腐
[02:51.48] 略减她一路以来的伤痛悲苦
[02:52.48]
[02:52.83] 多年后梦起那片热带高地
[02:56.36] 紫色霞光与金色绿地 玩伴容貌与姓名 早已模糊
[03:01.17] 但忆起的情绪却一如当初
[03:02.17]
[03:02.44] 未来无法预知
[03:04.73] 正如发出有裂痕的箭 只会弯曲而不会凝滞
[03:09.14] 那宁愿体验尽这人生百味
[03:10.14]
[03:12.04] 无论哪个阶级
[03:14.33] 无论哪片地域
[03:16.81] 她想去哪里
[03:18.60] 无人得知 无人得知
[03:19.60]
[03:21.67] 这条路亦或那条
[03:23.87] 这条路亦或那条
[03:26.27] 她想去哪里
[03:28.23] 无人得知 可她心里清楚
[03:31.29]
