With my staff and my rod

If I were a drone
假若我是无人机
Patrolling foreign skies
飞在异国的天空
With my electronic eyes for guidance

I would be afraid to find someone home

Maybe a woman at a stove

Lay down Jerusalem
轻轻躺下吧,耶路撒冷
Lay your burden down
就当做休息

The temple's in ruins

The buffalo's gone

And the mountain top's flat

You lean to the left but you walk to the right
你向着左边,却走向右边
And it feels like déjà vu

The sun goes down and I'm still missing you

Counting the cost of love that got lost
盘算着已逝的爱的代价
And under my Gulf Stream, in circular balls

There's ninety-nine cents worth of drunkards and fools
用九十九分币买来此刻的宿醉和愚蠢
