Subterranean Homesick Blues

Johny's in the basement
强尼闪进地下室
Mixing up the medicine
偷换掉这些药丸
I'm on the pavement
我走在人行道上
Thinking about the government
思索着政府事宜
The man in the trench coat
穿军衣的那个男人
Badge out, laid off
一番检查后遭解雇轰出
Says he's got a bad cough
他说他只是有些哮喘
Wants to get it paid off
没想到因之而被解雇
Look out kid
当心点 孩子
It's somethin' you did
你犯下的一些罪行
God knows when
上帝一清二楚
But you're doin' it again
但你却反复犯事
You better duck down the alley way
你最好躲在那条小巷里
Lookin' for a new friend
去寻求一个新朋友
The man in the coon-skip cap
戴浣熊皮帽的那个男人
In the big pen
手持钢笔写着支票
Wants eleven dollar bills
想要兑换十一美元的现金
You only got ten.
你却只拿到十块

玛姬踩着小碎步飞快过来
Maggie comes fleet foot
脸上满是黝黑的煤灰
Face full of black soot
聊起暖气炉的同时
Talkin' that the heat put
把盆栽暂时堆在床上
Plants in the bed but
但无论怎样电话铃滴滴骤响

玛姬说许多人都在议论
The phone's tapped anyway
他们一定会在五月初突击搜查
Maggie says that many say
这是来自当地检察官的口谕
They must bust in early May
当心点 孩子
Orders from the DA
别在意你做过些什么
Look out kid
踮起脚尖悄然滑过
Don't matter what you did
不要再犯更多的罪行
Walk on your tip toes
最好避开那些人
Don't try, 'No Doz'
他们总是拖着灭火带转来转去
Better stay away from those
保持你神清气爽
That carry around a fire hose
瞧瞧身上朴素的衣服
Keep a clean nose
你并不需要气象员
Watch the plain clothes
告诉你风往哪个方向吹
You don't need a weather man
生病随后康复
To know which way the wind blows.
醉心于文字创作

铃声响起 很难分辨
Get sick, get well
是否又是上门推销的人员
Hang around an ink well
努力尝试开门 但被彻底封锁
Ring bell, hard to tell
退回来吧 摸黑写下几行字
If anything is goin' to sell
结果哐当入狱 然后越狱逃走
Try hard, get barred
当心点 孩子
Get back, write Braille
你终会碰壁
Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed
但那些滥用者 巧舌如簧者
Look out kid
失败主义者
You're gonna get hit
总在剧院附近溜达
But users, cheaters
身处混乱中的女孩
Six-time losers
伺机寻求一个新的蠢货
Hang around the theaters
不要跟着这些领袖
Girl by the whirlpool
瞧瞧停车计时器
Lookin' for a new fool
啊 甫一出生 全身暖和裹起
Don't follow leaders
穿上短裤噢 生性浪漫 还学会了跳舞
Watch the parkin' meters.
穿好一切 得到上帝庇佑

设法去成为成功人士吧
Ah get born, keep warm
给他们买一大堆礼物
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
不要偷盗 也不要摆脱
Get dressed, get blessed
你十二年受到的义务教育
Try to be a success
他们会让你上白班
Please her, please him, buy gifts
当心点 孩子
Don't steal, don't lift
他们全都躲了起来
Twenty years of schoolin'
你最好从这洞中跳下
And they put you on the day shift
点燃一支蜡烛
Look out kid
别穿碍事的拖鞋
They keep it all hid
你得避免穿拖鞋
Better jump down a manhole
不要去做流浪汉
Light yourself a candle
你最好嚼块口香糖压压惊
Don't wear sandals
水泵完全不起作用
Try to avoid the scandals
因为这些小偷偷走了操纵杆
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles.
