歌词
Black Wings
(Tom Waits/K. Brennan)
Take an eye for an eye
以眼还眼
Take a tooth for a tooth
以牙还牙
Just like they say in the Bible
就像他们在圣经中所提到的
Never leave a trace or forget a face
从不留下痕迹或忘记
Of any man at the table
餐桌上每个人的脸庞
Any man at the table
无论是谁的面容
When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
当月亮像镰刀一般
And it's sharp enough to draw blood from a stone
锋利得足以让一颗石头划出鲜血
He rides through your dreams on a coach
他骑着马穿越过你的梦境
And horses and the fence posts
穿过了篱笆桩
In the midnight look like bones
在午夜时分 一切看起来都是那么骨感
Well they've stopped trying to hold him
他们已不再试图抓住他
With mortar, stone and chain
无论使用砂浆,还是石头,亦或是铁链
He broke out of every prison
他成功地从每个监狱都逃脱了出来
Well boots mount the staircase
靴子爬上了阶梯
The door is flung back open
门被猛地打开
He's not there for he has risen
他不在这里,只因他已经升华了
He's not there for he has risen
他不在这里,只因他已经升华了
Well he once killed a man with a guitar string
他曾经用吉他弦杀死了一个人
He's been seen at the table with kings
他被看到曾与国王一同就餐
Well he once saved a baby from drowning
他曾经拯救了一个快溺水的孩童
There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings
有些人说她的外套里藏匿着翅膀
Some say they fear him
也有些人说,他们惧怕他
Some say they fear him
也有些人说,他们惧怕他
Others admire him

Because he steals his promise
只因他食了言
One look in his eye
凝视着他的双眸
Everyone denies
每个人就都否认
Ever having met him

Ever having met him
曾经见过他
He can turn himself into a stranger
他可以让自己变成一个陌生人
Well they broke a lot of canes on his hide
他们损坏了他隐藏的许多手杖
he was born away in a cornfield
出生于一片隐匿的玉米地
A fever beats in his head like a drum inside
他脑海里狂热的节奏就像是一个轰隆作响的鼓
Some say they fear him
一些人坦言害怕他
Others admire him

Because he steals his promise
却因他打破了自己的诺言
One look in his eye
