Waiting Around to Die
等待死亡
【歌词】
Sometimes I don't know
where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I can't even see
the reason why
I guess I keep on gamblin',
lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
It's easier than
just a-waitin' 'round to die
有时我不知道
这暗淡路将带我去往何方。
有时我甚至看不到
活下去的原由。
我想我在不断地赌命，
太多的酒精麻醉和太多的漫无目的，
但这痛苦，也比
仅仅把死亡等待来的轻松。
One-time friends
I had a ma, I even had a pa
He beat her with a belt
once causes he cried
She told him to take care of me,
she headed down to Tennessee
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
曾几何时我有过朋友，
我有一个妈，我甚至还有过一个爸。
他曾用皮带打她，
有一次他却哭了，
因为她告诉他照顾好我,
就头也不回的去了田纳西。
但这痛苦，也比
仅仅把死亡等待来的轻松。
I came of age
and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and
hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain,
I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
我长大了,认识了一个女孩，
在塔斯卡卢萨的一个酒吧。
但最终她把我扫地出门，
无声的给了我无尽的痛。
我努力想把这回忆驱散，
我喝着烧酒，
去搭乘了一辆火车逃离。
好像这痛苦，也比
仅仅把死亡等待来的轻松。
A friend said he knew
where some easy money was
We robbed a man
and brother did we fly
The posse caught up with me,
drug me back to Muskogee
It's two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die
一个朋友告诉我,
他知道一些容易赚的钱。
我们打劫了一个男人，
如此我们成了兄弟一起去飞。
我同一群乌合之众鬼混，
药物把我带进了马斯科吉监狱。
这持续了两年多，
仅仅把死亡等待。
Now I'm out of prison,
I got me a friend at last
He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie
His name's codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
现在我走出了监狱,
最终我有了一个朋友。
他不去偷也不去骗，他也不酗酒也不撒谎
但他的名字叫可卡因,
他是我见过的最美好的东西。
现在我们形影不离
仅仅空空的等待没了期待，
其实我已经死亡。
