When I first came to town 当我第一次来到小镇

All the people gathered round 所有的人都围绕

They bought me drinks 他们给我买饮料

Lord, how they quickly changed their tune 主啊，他们很快改变了他们的调

   

When I first came to town 当我第一次来到小镇

People took me round from end to end 人们把我从全面的端到端

Like someone may take round a friend 喜欢一个人可能需要一轮的朋友

O how quickly they changed their tune Ø如何迅速，他们改变了他们的调

   

Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me 猜疑和暗杂音围绕着我

Everywhere I go they confound me 无论我走到哪里，他们混淆了我

As though the blood on my hands 好像血在我的手上

Is there for every citizen to see 有没有为每个公民看

   

O sweet Jesus 哦，甜蜜的耶稣

There is no turning back 没有回头路

There is always one more town 总有一个更镇

A little further down the track 再往下降的轨道

   

And from my window, across the tracks 从我的窗口，整个轨道

I watch the juicers burn their fires 我看的榨汁机刻录的火

And in that light 而在光

Their faces leer at me 他们的脸上阅读我

How I wish they'd just let me be 我多么希望，他们只希望让我

   

When I first came to town 当我第一次来到小镇

Their favours were for free 他们的主张是免费的

Now even the doors of the whores of this town 这个小镇的妓女现在连门

Are closed to me 关闭我

   

I search the mirror 我搜索的镜子

And I try to see 我尝试看看

Why the people of this town 为什么这个城市的人

Have washed their hands of me 有洗手的我

   

O sweet Jesus 哦，甜蜜的耶稣

There is no turning back 没有回头路

There is always one more town 总有一个更镇

A little further down the track 再往下降的轨道

   

O lord, every god-damn turn I take 主啊，每一个神该死的把我带

I fear the noose, I fear the stake 我担心的绞索，我担心的股份

For there is no bone 对于没有骨头

They did not break 他们没有突破

In all the towns I've been before 在所有的城镇，我去过的

   

Well those that sin against me are snuffed out 以及那些反对我的罪被扼杀了

I know from every day that I live 我知道从我生活的每一天

God-damn the day that I was born 神该死的，我出生的那天

The night that forced me from the womb 这迫使我从娘胎夜

And god-damn this town 与神该死的这个小镇

For I am leaving now 现在我要离开

But one day I will return 但有一天我会回到

And the people of this town will surely see 和这个城市的人民一定会看到

Just how quickly the tables turn 究竟有多快转表

   

O sweet Jesus 哦，甜蜜的耶稣

This really is the end 这真的是结束

There is always one more town 总有一个更镇

A little further round the bend. 再往拐弯。
