Black River Killer

It was just a little while past the sunset strip
剛經過日落大道的不遠
They found the girls body in an open pit
他們在敞開的深坑里發現了一名女子的屍體
Her mouth was sewn shut, but her eyes were still wide
她的雙唇被緊緊縫在一起，但她的眼睛卻睜得大大的
Gazing through the fog to the other side
凝視著茫茫大霧中的另一端
They booked me on a whim and threw me deep in jail
警察們潦草結案，歸罪與我，將我扔進監獄
With no bail, sitting silent on a rusty pail
沒有保釋，我靜靜坐在生鏽的桶旁邊
Just gazing at the marks on the opposite wall
只能盯著對面牆上的塗鴉發呆
Remembering the music of my lovers call
回想著愛人的呼喚
So you make no mistake
所以你別搞錯了
[01:39.76]I know just what it takes
我只是知道
[01:41.27]To pull a mans soul back from heavens gates
為了從天堂門口拯救回一個人的靈魂需要付出些什麼
[01:43.88]Ive been wandering in the dark about as long as sin
我一直徘徊在黑暗與罪孽之中
[01:46.87]But they say its never too late to start again
但人們都說什麼時候重來都不晚
[00:55.19][01:50.20][01:56.18][02:39.63][02:45.19][02:51.54][02:56.99]Oh when, oh when
噢，什麼時候
[02:42.80]Will the spirit come a calling for my souls sin
什麼時候聖靈會來召走我靈魂的罪惡？
[01:58.93][02:47.88]Will the keys to the kingdom be mine again?
噢，什麼時候
It was dark as the grave, it was just about three
什麼時候我才能再次擁有通往王國的鑰匙？
When the warden with his key came to set me free
這裡如墳墓般黑暗，但只要數到三
They gave me five dollars and a secondhand suit
監獄長就會帶著鑰匙來釋放我
A pistol and a hat and a worn out flute
他們給我五美元和一套二手西裝
So I took a bus down to the Rio Grande
一把手槍，一頂帽子，一支破舊的長笛
And I shot a man down on the edge of town
我搭上巴士來到了格蘭德河
Then I stole me a horse andI rode it around
在城鎮邊緣我射殺了一個人
Til the sheriff pulled me in and sat me down
我偷了他的馬，騎著它四處逛
He said, you make no mistake
直到警長把我抓到，將我按住
Will the spirit come a calling for my soul to sin
他說，你別搞錯了
Well the sheriff let me go with a knife and a song
我只是知道
So I took the first train up to Oregon
為了從天堂門口拯救回一個人的靈魂需要付出些什麼
And I killed the first man that I came upon
我一直徘徊在黑暗與罪孽之中
Because the devil works quick, you know it dont take long
但人們都說什麼時候重來都不晚
Then I went to the river ford to take a swim
噢，什麼時候
You know that black river water is as black as sin
什麼時候聖靈會來召走我靈魂的罪惡？
And I washed myself clean as a newborn babe
噢，什麼時候
And then I picked up a rock for to sharpen my blade
什麼時候我才能再次擁有通往王國的鑰匙？
Will that black river water wash me clean again
警長放我走了，給了我一把刀和一首歌
Will thee keys to the kingdom be mine again
所以我趕上了第一班通往俄勒岡州的火車
