Cicada in shopping mall
Everything is accommodated to boot
Groceries, clothes, covering head to foot
Restrooms, Restaurants, drinking bars
Even swimming pool, and racing cars
Everything is crystal bright in this dome
But for a cicada it is not a brooding home
Too brilliant to brood
Too sterile for food
The marble floor and glass ceiling
No place to get an earthly life
So arid clear & clean, nowhere to cling
Even if I survive to land on a lily
No way to let out my wildest singing
A void vacuumed of earth and dust
A deafening domain of fluorescent lust
包容万象商场，无所不有
食品杂货，衣饰，包你从头到脚
茶餐，厕所，酒吧
甚至泳池，甚至赛车
大厦水晶般的璀璨
但绝不是一只蝉的羽化之地
玻璃穹顶，大理石地面
不是尘世，生无所依
即使躲过清洁车，落在一枝百合上
我也无法纵情歌唱
这是一个真空无尘的世界
唯有物欲震耳欲聋地流转
