How the West Was Won and Where It Got Us

Blood from a stone, water from wine
石頭作血肉，紅酒變成水
Born under an ill-placed sign
我生而無力回天
A stroke of bad luck, wrong place, wrong time
不幸的一擊，在錯誤的時空中
This flyer is out of the lime
鳥兒從椴樹上飛走
The story is a sad one, told many times
悲傷的故事已被反复講述
The story of my life in trying times
我人生中的灰暗時光
Just add water, stir in lime
加點水吧，摻上石灰
How the west was won and where it got us
征服西部與我們現在的樣子
Ahh
啊
The canary got trapped in the uranium mine
金絲雀被束縛在鈾礦中
A stroke of bad luck, now the bird has died
不幸的一擊，如今鳥兒已死
A marker to mark where my tears run dry
待標記的標記，我在那流盡眼淚
I cross it, bless it, alkaline
我標記它，祝福它，鹼性的灰
The story is a sad one, told many times
悲傷的故事已被反复講述
The story of my life in trying times
悲傷的故事已被反复講述
Just add water, stir in lime
加點水吧，摻上石灰
How the west was won and where it got us
征服西部與我們現在的樣子
Ahh
啊
(piano)
I didnt wear glasses because I thought it might rain
我沒戴上眼鏡，因為也許將要下雨
Now I cant see anything
但如今我卻看不清分毫
I made a mistake, chalked it up to design
我犯了個錯，把它歸咎於天機
I cracked through time, space, godless and dry
我穿越時與空，不信神不飲酒
I point my nose to the northern star
我將鼻尖朝向北極星
And watch the decline from a hazy distance
目視遠處的光芒逐漸衰微
The story is a sad one, told many times
悲傷的故事已被反复講述
The story of my life in trying times
悲傷的故事已被反复講述
Just add water, stir in lime
加點水吧，摻上石灰
How the west was won and where it got us
征服西部與我們現在的樣子
Ahh
啊
