When the iceberg hit 当冰山撞

Oh, they must have known 哦，他们一定知道

God moves on the water 神在水面上移动

Like Casey Jones 像凯西·琼斯

   

So I walked downtown 于是，我就闹

On my telephone 我的电话

And took a lazy turn 并把一个懒惰的转

Through the redeye zone 通过红眼区

   

Was a five-band bill 是一个五段的法案

A two-dollar show 两美元的秀

I saw the van out in front 只见面包车在前面

From Idaho 来自爱达荷州

   

And the girl passed out 和那个女孩晕倒了

In the backseat trash 在后座垃圾桶

There were no way they'd make 有没有办法，他们会想办法让

Even a half a tank of gas 气体即使是半箱

   

They looked sick and stoned 他们看着生病砸死

And strangely dressed 而奇怪的打扮

No one showed 没有人表现

From the local press 从当地媒体

   

But I watched them walk 但是我看着他们走

Through bottom land 通过自下而上地

And I wished I played 我希望我打

In a rock 'n' roll band 在摇滚摇滚乐乐队

   

Hey, hey 嘿，嘿

It was the fourteenth day of April 这是四月十四日

   

Well, they closed it down 那么，他们关闭了下去

With the sales in rags 随着衣衫褴褛的销售

And I swept up the fags 我扫了的fags

And the local rags 和当地的碎布

   

I threw the plastic cups 我扔塑料杯

In the plastic bags 在塑料包装袋

And the cooks cleaned the kitchen 而厨师清洗厨房

With the staggers and the jags 随着蹒跚的尖齿

   

Ruination day 毁天

And the sky was red 和天空是红色的

I went back to work 我回去上班

And back to bed 然后回到床上

   

And the iceberg broke 和冰山爆发

And the Okies fled 和Okies逃离

And the great emancipator 和伟大的救星

Took a bullet in the back of the head 在脑后了一颗子弹
