我非常喜歡這首歌，雖然Bon Jovi這張專輯的評價很不好............
但是這首歌是我個人認為Bon Jovi到目前為止的最高傑作
僅以此翻譯向這首歌致上最高的敬意
I was walking around, just a face in the crowd
Trying to keep myself out of the rain
Saw a vagabond king wear a Styrofoam crown
Wondered if I might end up the same
There's a man out on the corner
Singing old songs about change
Everybody's got their cross to bare, these days
我只是一個在人群中不停走著，試著躲避風雨的小人物
瞥見了一個頭戴塑料皇冠的瘋漢，我想著我會不會像他這樣結束一生
在街角，有個人唱著關於時代劇變的老歌
在這個年代，每個人都有他所背負的十字架
She came looking for some shelter with a suitcase full of dreams
To a motel room on the boulevard
I guess she's trying to be James Dean
She's seen all the disciples and all the wanna be's
No one wants to be themselves these days
Still there's nothing to hold on to but these days
她帶著裝滿夢想的行李尋找一個避風港
最後寄宿在大街旁的汽車旅館
我想她大概想成為James Dean
她看透了這個時代的信徒跟他們想成為的樣子
這個年代，沒有人想當自己
也沒有什麼可以抓住的東西
These days the stars seem out of reach
These days there ain't a ladder on the streets
Oh no, no, no
These days are fast, nothing lasts in this graceless age
There ain't nobody left but us these days
我不想相信
這個年代，星辰高不可攀
街道上沒有通往天堂的階梯（我猜想這句跟齊柏林那個天堂之梯有關 所以這樣翻譯)
這個年代實在太匆忙，在這邪惡的年代沒留下任何東西
這些日子除了我們，誰也沒留下來
Jimmy shoes busted both his legs, trying to learn to fly
From a second story window, he just jumped and closed his eyes
His momma said he was crazy, he said "Momma, I've got to try
Don't you know that all my heroes died
And I guess, I'd rather die than fa-fa-fade away, yeah"
Jimmy把摔斷了他的雙腿，他試著學會飛翔
他緊閉雙眼從二層樓高的窗戶跳下
她的母親說他瘋了，他說”媽，我必須試看看，妳難道不知道我心目中的英雄都死了嗎？
我寧願像他們一樣轟轟烈烈的死，也不願意這樣逐漸凋零啊！”
These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah
But these days there ain't a ladder on the streets
Oh no, no, no
These days are fast, love don't lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
我不想相信
這個年代，星辰高不可攀
街道上沒有通往天堂的階梯
這個年代實在太匆忙，在這邪惡的年代連愛都沒留下來
連純真都搭上夜車逃亡
這些日子除了我們，誰也沒留下來
I know Rome's still burning
Though the times have changed
This world kept turning round and round and round and round
These days
我知道，雖然時代改變了，但是羅馬仍然在燃燒著（猜測是意指暴君Nero，暗示這年代大
家都跟Nero差不多)
這個世界仍然不停的轉啊轉啊轉啊轉啊，在這個年代！
These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah
But these days there ain't a ladder on these streets
Oh no, no, no
These days are fast, love don't lasts in this graceless age
Even innocence has caught the midnight train
And there ain't nobody left but us these days
我不想相信
這個年代，星辰高不可攀
街道上沒有通往天堂的階梯
這個年代實在太匆忙，在這邪惡的年代連愛都沒留下來
連純真都搭上夜車逃亡
這些日子除了我們，誰也沒留下來
These days the stars seem out of reach, yeah
These days there ain't a ladder on these streets
Oh no, no, no
我不想相信
這個年代，星辰高不可攀
街道上沒有通往天堂的階梯
These days are fast, nothing lasts
There ain't no time to waste
There ain't nobody left to take the blame
時代實在變動得太快，沒有東西留下來
沒有時間可以浪費
沒有人想留下來承擔責任
Oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, these days
There ain't nobody left but us these days
噢，不
這些日子除了我們，誰也沒留下來
