The day I turned my back on all you people 那天我把我的回你的人

I felt an itching in my thumbs 我在大拇指感到痒

Salt air like a broadcast from the distant dark beyond 咸味的空气像是从遥远的黑暗超越广播

When my transformation comes 当我谈到转型

   

I went down to the warm, warm water 我去了温暖，温水

Saw a pelican fly past 看到鹈鹕飞了过去

Waved once at the highway and then left all that behind me 挥挥手，一旦在高速公路上，然后离开所有我身后

I went wading through the grass 我经历了基层涉水

   

And no one was gonna come and get me 也没有人会来帮我

There wasn't anybody gonna know 有没有人会知道

Even though I leave a trail of burned things in my wake 即使我离开了烧东西的痕迹在我醒来

Every single place I go 我去的每一个地方

   

And it was cool and it was quiet 它很酷，它很安静

In the humid marsh down there 在潮湿的沼泽那里

I let my head sink down beneath the brackish water 我让我的头下沉的苦咸水之下

Felt it gumming up my hair 觉得脱胶了我的头发

   

The sun was sinking into the Atlantic 太阳沉入大西洋

The last time that I turned my back on you 我转过身去对你最后一次

I tried to summon up a little prayer as I went under 我试着召唤了一点点的祈祷，因为我去下

It was the best that I could do 这是我能做到的最好的

   

And I said let them all fare better than your serpent 我说让他们都更胜你的蛇好

The reeds all pricking at my skin 芦苇都刺在我的皮肤

Here's hoping they have better luck than I had down here with you 这里的希望，他们有更好的运气比我早来与你在这里

All that water rushing in 所有的水哗哗的
