[00:00.00]Gates of Eden - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)
[00:04.24]Of war and peace the truth just twists
[00:08.31]Its curfew gull just glides
[00:11.12]
[00:14.11]Upon four-legged forest clouds
[00:18.18]The cowboy angel rides
[00:21.37]
[00:23.99]With his candle lit into the sun
[00:28.24]Though its glow is waxed in black
[00:31.07]
[00:34.51]All except when neath the trees of eden
[00:39.19]
[00:44.19]The lamppost stands with folded arms
[00:48.32]Its iron claws attached
[00:51.57]
[00:54.20]To curbs neath holes where babies wail
[00:58.13]Though it shadows metal badge
[01:01.19]
[01:02.57]All and all can only fall
[01:06.38]With a crashing but meaningless blow
[01:09.07]
[01:12.25]No sound ever comes from the gates of eden
[01:17.25]
[01:22.00]The savage soldier sticks his head in sand
[01:27.19]And then complains
[01:29.08]
[01:31.77]Unto the shoeless hunter whos gone deaf
[01:36.89]But still remains
[01:39.14]
[01:39.96]Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
[01:44.02]At ships with tattooed sails
[01:46.90]
[01:50.02]Heading for the gates of eden
[01:53.58]
[01:59.40]With a time-rusted compass blade
[02:03.52]Aladdin and his lamp
[02:06.40]
[02:09.64]Sits with utopian hermit monks
[02:13.33]Side saddle on the golden calf
[02:16.14]
[02:17.08]And on their promises of paradise
[02:20.83]You will not hear a laugh
[02:23.70]
[02:26.83]All except inside the gates of eden
[02:31.46]
[02:36.46]Relationships of ownership
[02:40.14]They whisper in the wings
[02:43.33]
[02:45.96]To those condemned to act accordingly
[02:49.71]And wait for succeeding kings
[02:52.77]
[02:53.52]And I try to harmonize with songs
[02:57.58]The lonesome sparrow sings
[03:00.14]
[03:02.89]There are no kings inside the gates of eden
[03:07.70]
[03:13.51]The motorcycle black madonna
[03:17.33]Two-wheeled gypsy queen
[03:19.89]
[03:22.51]And her silver-studded phantom cause
[03:26.52]The gray flannel dwarf to scream
[03:29.20]
[03:30.08]As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
[03:34.08]Who pick up on his bread crumb sins
[03:37.04]
[03:39.17]And there are no sins inside the gates of eden
[03:43.98]
[03:49.67]The kingdoms of experience
[03:53.36]In the precious wind they rot
[03:56.11]
[03:58.98]While paupers change possessions
[04:02.23]Each one wishing for what the other has got
[04:05.61]
[04:06.48]And the princess and the prince
[04:09.11]Discuss what's real and what is not
[04:12.73]
[04:15.67]It doesn't matter inside the gates of eden
[04:20.29]
[04:25.93]The foreign sun it squints upon
[04:29.75]A bed that is never mine
[04:32.68]
[04:35.37]As friends and other strangers
[04:38.43]From their fates try to resign
[04:41.87]
[04:42.81]Leaving men wholly totally free
[04:46.37]To do anything they wish to do but die
[04:49.56]
[04:52.68]And there are no trials inside the gates of eden
[04:57.56]
[05:03.18]At dawn my lover comes to me
[05:06.74]And tells me of her dreams
[05:10.06]
[05:12.62]With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
[05:16.06]Into the ditch of what each one means
[05:19.25]
[05:20.00]At times I think there are no words
[05:23.50]But these to tell what's true
[05:26.37]
[05:29.18]And there are no truths outside the gates of eden





Gates of Eden - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)
Of war and peace the truth just twists
Its curfew gull just glides

Upon four-legged forest clouds
The cowboy angel rides

With his candle lit into the sun
Though its glow is waxed in black

All except when neath the trees of eden

The lamppost stands with folded arms
Its iron claws attached

To curbs neath holes where babies wail
Though it shadows metal badge

All and all can only fall
With a crashing but meaningless blow

No sound ever comes from the gates of eden

The savage soldier sticks his head in sand
And then complains

Unto the shoeless hunter whos gone deaf
But still remains

Upon the beach where hound dogs bay
At ships with tattooed sails

Heading for the gates of eden

With a time-rusted compass blade
Aladdin and his lamp

Sits with utopian hermit monks
Side saddle on the golden calf

And on their promises of paradise
You will not hear a laugh

All except inside the gates of eden

Relationships of ownership
They whisper in the wings

To those condemned to act accordingly
And wait for succeeding kings

And I try to harmonize with songs
The lonesome sparrow sings

There are no kings inside the gates of eden

The motorcycle black madonna
Two-wheeled gypsy queen

And her silver-studded phantom cause
The gray flannel dwarf to scream

As he weeps to wicked birds of prey
Who pick up on his bread crumb sins

And there are no sins inside the gates of eden

The kingdoms of experience
In the precious wind they rot

While paupers change possessions
Each one wishing for what the other has got

And the princess and the prince
Discuss what's real and what is not

It doesn't matter inside the gates of eden

The foreign sun it squints upon
A bed that is never mine

As friends and other strangers
From their fates try to resign

Leaving men wholly totally free
To do anything they wish to do but die

And there are no trials inside the gates of eden

At dawn my lover comes to me
And tells me of her dreams

With no attempts to shovel the glimpse
Into the ditch of what each one means

At times I think there are no words
But these to tell what's true

And there are no truths outside the gates of eden
