Inner City Blues

Going down a dirty inner city side road
走在窮人區一條骯髒小路上
I plotted
我思索著

她狂躁地經過笑著打招呼
Madness passed me by, she smiled hi
我點頭示意
I nodded
抬起頭正好下起雨

她記錄下這一幕
Looked up as the sky began to cry
今早六點遇見一位來自迪爾伯恩的姑娘
She shot it.
殘酷的現實

聊起她的行李她說窮鄉僻壤
Met a girl from Dearborn, early six o'clock this morn
不會回去
A cold fact
因為爸爸不允許一點兒新潮想法

現在他看到新聞裡面的圖片有些模糊
Asked about her bag, suburbia's such a drag
媽媽爸爸別這樣
Won't go back
珍惜你已經擁有的
'Cos Papa don't allow no new ideas here
因為不懂得知足

你們可能會出事
And now he sees the news, but the picture's not too clear.
八點是宵禁時間

外面是否一直安全
Mama, Papa, stop
我有些懷疑
Treasure what you got
七個嫉妒心重的傻瓜被她玩弄於鼓掌
Soon you may be caught
不能相信她
Without it
他覺得自己左右為難又無力改變
The curfew's set for eight
這讓她傷心
Will it ever all be straight
所以他也得跟著哭泣
I doubt it.
他不會拋棄她

頑皮孩子用黃色粉筆
7 jealous fools playing by her rules
在混凝土牆上寫下
Can't believe her
孩子王已死
He feels so in between, can't break the scene
在猶太酒館喝酒
It would grieve her
低頭端詳起酒杯中

甜美的酒液
And that's the reason why he must cry
因為爸爸不允許一點兒新潮想法
He'll never leave her.
現在你聽到了音樂聲

卻聽不清歌詞
Crooked children, yellow chalk
媽媽爸爸別這樣
writing on the concrete walk
珍惜你已經擁有的
Their King died
因為不懂得知足
Drinking from a Judas cup,
你們可能會出事
looking down but seeing up
八點是宵禁時間
Sweet red wine
外面是否一直安全

我有些懷疑
'Cos Papa don't allow no new ideas here
走在格魯吉亞一條塵土飛揚的小路上
And now you hear the music
我猶疑著
but the words don 't sound too clear.
風吹拂著我的臉

能嗅到雷電
Mama, Papa, stop
欲來的氣息
Treasure what you got
Soon you may be caught
Without it
The curfew's set for eight
Will it ever all be straight
I doubt it.
Going down a dusty, Georgian side road
I wonder

The wind splashed in my face
can smell a trace
Of thunder.
