Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues

歌词
When you're lost in the rain in juarez
当你在华尔兹市的雨中走失
And it's eastertime too
此时正是复活节
And your gravity fails
你重心失衡倒下
And negativity don't pull you through
消极失意使你无法振作
Don't put on any airs
千万别装腔作势
When you're down on rue morgue avenue
当你走在莫格街时(注:史上第一篇侦探小说《莫格街杀人案》发生地,为作者爱伦坡虚构)
They got some hungry women there
哪里遍地都是饥渴的女人
And they really make a mess outa you
他们真会把你搞得一团糟
现在如果你看见圣安妮
Now if you see saint annie
请转告她我很感激她
Please tell her thanks a lot
我动不了了
I cannot move
我的手指全部打结乱颤
My fingers are all in a knot
我都没一点力气
I don't have the strength
再起身来搞事情
To get up and take another shot
而且我最好的朋友:我的医生
And my best friend, my doctor
甚至不知道我怎么回事
Won't even say what it is i've got
甜美的梅林达
农民们都称她黑暗女神
Sweet melinda
她讲一口流利的英语
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
还邀请你上楼去她家
She speaks good english
你表现得非常友善
And she invites you up into her room
小心翼翼不让她知道你急着去
And you're so kind
然而她突然离你而去
And careful not to go to her too soon
把你丢在月光下独自狼嚎
And she takes your voice
在新区住宅项目
And leaves you howling at the moon
不是求名就是逐利
你必须选择其一
Up on housing project hill
即便他们本身都不是你所想的那样
It's either fortune or fame
如果你沉溺其中变得愚不可及
You must pick up one or the other
你最好马上回家吧
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
因为连警察都不理你
If you're lookin' to get silly
人们都渴求同样的东西
You better go back to from where you came
现在所有的行政官员
Because the cops don't need you
他们都在空占职位信口吹虚
And man they expect the same
他们怎么能胁迫警长
擅离职守
Now all the authorities
接待的这位天使
They just stand around and boast
她刚刚从海边赶来
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
第一眼看起来神采奕奕
Into leaving his post
走的时候再一看,就像一个幽灵
And picking up angel who
大拇指汤姆回家的布鲁斯
Just arrived here from the coast
我开始沉溺葡萄酒
Who looked so fine at first
很快就遇上大麻烦
But left looking just like a ghost
每个人都说他们在我身后支持我
solo
当游戏变得困难
对我来说真是笑话
I started out on burgundy
没有一个人揭示来我在虚张声势
But soon hit the harder stuff
我还是回纽约
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
我相信我知足了
When the game got rough
But the joke was on me
There was nobody even there to call my bluff
I'm going back to new york city
I do believe i've had enough
