Bible belt

Lo and behold your mother is drinking again
看啊，你的母親又在喝酒

這也許是有記錄以來最冷的冬天
This might be the coldest winter since records began
你獨自一人，像寒冬那樣堅定冷靜

帶著孩子們穿過畜欄
You were alone and steady with wintry calm
在早上你行軍一樣把妹妹帶去學校

因為，看啊你父親也喝了不少
Leading the children softly across the fold
你獨自一人，像寒冬那樣堅定冷靜

在你年少的火焰裡，有什麼熄滅了
In the morning you march your sisters like soldiers to school
但你發誓水桶並不沉重
Cause lo and behold your father has drunk quite a few
你說親愛的，命該如此你得接受

沒有引向伯利恆的光弧
You were alone and steady with wintry calm
所以屋外轉暗時，你自己點起了火

當冰蓋融化時
Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark
聖經帶裡惡魔橫行

別在床上嚇成一團
But you swear blind there is no weight in the water pail
我會在5：45等著你

可以來鐵道邊找我
you And say my love, you take the cards that youre dealt
別一副認真的樣子

因為比這更糟糕的事，我們說上話之前就經歷過
Theres no guiding light arcing a line to Bethlehem
所以訣竅就是，別再害怕

啊訣竅就是，別再害怕
And when its dark outside, you light the fire yourself

Darling when the ice caps melt
When the devils in the bible belt
Dont you cower in your bed

Ill be at the five-four-five

You can meet me at the railway line
Dont look so staid

Cause weve been through worse than this before we could talk

And the trick of it is, dont be afraid anymore

Oh, the trick of it is, dont be afraid anymore
