英文特辑精选：Muse-《Time is running out》

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated¹
I wanna break this spell
that you've created
you're something beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction²
you will be the death of me
yeah, you will be the death of me
bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother³ it
I won't let you murder it
our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out
I wanted freedom
but I'm restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted⁴
now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation⁵
you'll never dream of
breaking this fixation
you will squeeze the life out of me
bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this?
ooooohh
you will suck the life out of me
bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it
our time is running out
and our time is running out
you can't push it underground
we can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this?
ooooohh
