Thomas County Law

托馬斯郡的法律存在著小瑕疵
Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth
每當真言吐露那些交通燈便會閃爍著紅光

教堂那為你泣喊的鐘聲不帶絲毫欺瞞
Every traffic light is red when it tells the truth
當太陽落山的時候沒有人的目光看向另一端

托馬斯郡的道路通往你想去的每個地方
The church bell isn't kidding when it cries for you
另一遠處的山坡傳來不知名的哼唱

那些被我消磨的時光無處安葬
Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
在夕陽的餘暉下沒有躲閃的目光

那兒有些辦法能夠跨越托馬斯郡邊界
Thomas County Road takes you where it will
你的目光觸及不到那又高又寬的樹林的另一端

而我似乎不曾見到手足的妻子
Someone's singing on the far side of other hills
當太陽落山的時候沒有人的目光看向另一端

那兒有著國王住的城堡和沒有翅膀的飛鳥
There's nowhere safe to bury all the time I've killed
我可以抱怨但我不會這樣做

托馬斯郡的法律存在著歪曲的空隙
Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
沒有一顆母親的心未曾遍體鱗傷

當把它們捧在燈光下你就能看清那一切
There's a couple ways to cross Thomas County Line
每個做夢的人都穿著他們的舞鞋陷入了沉睡

我也許會說我不屬於這兒但我知道並不是那樣
You can't see beyond the trees they're too tall and wide
無人看向彼端當太陽落山

夕陽的餘暉下沒有躲閃的目光
And I never seem to see around my brother's wife

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

There are castles for kings there are birds without wings
I could whine 'bout it all but I won't

Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth

There ain't a mother with a heart less than black and blue

When they hold 'em to the light you can see right through

Every dreamer falls asleep in their dancing shoes
I may say I don't belong here but I know I do

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down

Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
