Rudy

Rudy lives on the borderline Rudy
生活在小鎮邊緣
Between civilization and basic survival
也是文明和溫飽線的邊緣
And the summertime treats him fairly well
夏天對他來說還算不錯

Jingle Bells and Christmas shoppers.

但這個人無處可去
Christmas has a meaning at all,
聖誕節自有其意義所在
The people of greed and incredible waste,
貪婪和浪費的人們
They seek the deeper meaning
他們急不可耐，怒氣沖衝
In the shopping mall,In a yuletide spirit

Rudy is a patient man, Rudy

Things turn out like the way they do.

There's fortunate folks like me and you.
為什麼你和我這些伙計會這麼走運
Rudy must have people somewhere,
哪裡應該也會有這麼一個人吧
Who wonder what became of the man.
關心著Rudy身上發生了什麼
And Rudy must wonder the same damn thing
而Rudy當他伸出手對著經過他的人群乞討時
As the crowd passes by and he sticks out his hand.
一定也在想著同樣的該死的事情

Of a civilized world on Christmas Eve.

You know the shoppers shopped,

And the temperatures dropped,
氣溫也在繼續下降
On a man whose absence won't be grieved.

With his hand frozen to a telephone.
