Take a little walk to the edge of town
行走在城市边缘
Go across the tracks
穿过冰冷的铁路线
Where the viaduct looms
空中的高架桥隐隐凸现
Like a bird of doom
像被诅咒的乌鸦一般
As it shifts and cracks
阵阵噼啪声传来
Where secrets lie in the border fires
在那闪着火花的边境线
In the humming wires
是一道嗡嗡作响的高压围栏
Hey man, you know
嘿,伙计,你心里明白
You're never coming back
此次一去将永不回还
Past the square, past the bridge
经过广场,经过桥梁
Past the mills, past the stacks
经过草垛,经过磨坊
On a gathering storm comes
伴随着一场风暴
A tall handsome man

In a dusty black coat with
一件破旧的黑色外套

Tell you that you've been a good boy
称赞你的勇敢
He'll rekindle all those dreams

It took you a lifetime to destroy

He'll reach deep into the hole
他深入你的内心
Heal your shrinking soul

But there won't be a single thing that you can do

He's a god, he's a man
他是全能的上帝,是真正的男子汉
He's a ghost, he's a guru
他是神秘的幽灵,能控制人的心灵
They're whispering his name

Through this disappearing land
在那片已经消失的国度
But hidden in his coat

Through the ghetto and the barrio
在那穷乡僻壤
And the bowery and the slum
在那穷街陋巷
A shadow is cast wherever he stands

Designed and directed by
永远无法摆脱
His red right hand
那只红色手掌
