Dry County
干涸的国度
【歌词】
Across the border they turn
Water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a saviour
In these hard and desperate times
For me it helps me to forget
That we're just born to die
穿越生死的界限人们将
苦涩的水酿成美味的酒
有人说那是恶魔的血液
它们是从葡萄中被榨取
有人说那是救世主的药
在这艰难绝望的时代里
对我而言它帮助我遗忘
忘记生来只是走向死亡
I came here like so many did
To find the better life
To find my piece of easy street
To finally be alive
And I know nothing good comes easy
And all good things take some time
I made my bed I'll lie in it
To die in it's the crime
我和许多人一样来到这里
为寻找体味更美好的人生
寻找一条舒适的街道
安家落户生殖繁衍
我知道世间没有不劳而获
美好总要耗费时间去等待
我想躺在床上无所事事
但这样死去是一种罪恶
You can't help but prosper
Where the streets are paved with gold
They say the oil wells ran deeper here
than anybody's known
I packed up on my wife and kid
And left them back at home
Now there's nothing in this pay dirt
The ghosts are all I know
Now the oil's gone
The money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hanging on
你在追逐着名利
街道上物欲横流
人们说这里的油井可以挖得比贪婪的人心还深
我告别了妻儿老小
把他们抛弃在家中
现在这里已无利可图
行尸走肉活见鬼
现在石油枯竭
金钱被花光了
工作也找不到
只有我们还在游荡
Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive
看看这干涸的国度
人们在沙漠里游泳
祈祷能有圣水降落
去洗刷双手的罪恶
在这干涸的国度
诺言早已经枯竭
人们不再哭泣落泪
也没人能活着离去
In the blessed name of Jesus
I heard a preacher say
That we are God's children
And He'd be back someday
And I hoped that he knew
Something as he drank his cup of wine
I didn't have too good of a feeling
As I head out to the night
以耶稣圣子之名
我听到牧师说教
我们是神的孩子
有一天，他会回到我们的身边
我希望他能知道
有些事情正如他喝光的杯中美酒
我感觉有种不良预兆
当我孤独行走黑夜中
I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
I prayed to God for water
For this burning in my veins
It was like my soul's on fire
And I had to watch the flames
All my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away
Now the oil's gone
The money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin' on
我诅咒天空开裂
我乞求云朵降雨
我祈祷上帝洒落圣洁的水
这些渴求在我的血液中灼烧
就好像黑暗灵魂在浴火重生
我注视着这火焰
我所有梦想随之灰飞
我的未来也随风逝去
现在石油枯竭
金钱被花光了
工作也不见了
只有我们还在游荡
Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive
看看这干渴的国度
人们在沙漠里游泳
祈祷能有圣水降落
去洗刷双手的罪恶
在这干渴的国度
诺言早已经枯死
人们不会哭泣落泪
也没人能活着离去
Men spend their whole lives
Waiting praying for their big reward
But it seems sometimes
The payoff leaves you feeling
Like a dirty whore
If I could choose the way I'll die
Make it by the gun or knife
'Cause the other way there's too much pain
Night after night after night
人们耗费着生命
祈祷最大限度的回报
但是似乎有时候
所得回报让你觉得你
像一个廉价污秽的妓女
如果我可以选择，我宁愿去死
我会用枪或刀去死
因为生活有太多的无奈何和苦痛
日复一日夜复一夜...
Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hand
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out of here alive
看看这干涸的国度
人们在沙漠里游泳
祈祷能有圣水降落
去洗刷双手的罪恶
在这干渴的国度
诺言早已经枯竭
人们不再哭泣落泪
也没人能活着离去
