The ship of fools
愚人之船
Is coming in
即将到来
Take me off I've got to eat
带我走我得吃饭
Same old stories
老生常谈
Same old thing
还是老样子
Letting out and pulling in
敞开心扉尽情放纵
Mister there's a caravan
先生有一辆大篷车
Parked out back
车停在后院
Restless hoping for a christian rider

The black book a grappling hook
一本黑色的书一个抓钩
A hangman's noose on a burnt out tree
刽子手的套索绑在烧焦的树上
Guess we must be getting close to tombstone
我想我们离墓碑不远了
The last time we had eaten
我们上次吃饭的时候
Was when the flies were going for free
当苍蝇自由飞舞
You could count the hardships by the open doors
你可以从打开的门里细数那些艰辛
But sandwiched in between
却夹在中间
Were the fishermen who still
那些渔民
Wished they could sail from Tenessee to Arizona
真希望他们能从田纳西州航行到亚利桑那州
So hold on
所以坚持下去
Won't be long
不会太久
The call is on the line
电话响了
Hold on
坚持住
Sister's gone
姐姐走了
South to give the sign
向南发出信号
We picked up dracula in Memphis
我们在孟菲斯接了吸血鬼
It was just about the break of day
黎明即将到来
And then hastily prayed
然后匆匆祷告
For out souls to be saved
让我们的灵魂得到救赎
There something in the air that made us kind of weary
空气中弥漫着一种让我们疲惫不堪的感觉
By the time we got to Swansea
当我们到达斯旺西时
It was getting dark
夜幕降临
Tumble jungles bugles and the prize
翻滚的丛林传来号角声收获颇丰
The tides turned west at Amerforth
在阿默弗思潮汐转向西方
As if they didn't know what to do
仿佛他们手足无措
But garnant stood it's ground and asked for more
但Garnant坚不可摧要求更多
All the people seemed quite glad to see us
所有的人似乎都很高兴见到我们
Shaking hands and smiling like the clock
握手微笑就像时钟
Well we gave them all the message then
我们给了他们所有的信息
The ship of fools was in
愚人之船驶来
Make sure they all get home for Christmas
确保他们都回家过圣诞节
So hold on
所以坚持下去
Won't be long
不会太久
Call is on the line
呼叫即将开始
Hold on
坚持住
Sister's gone
姐姐走了
South to give the sign
向南发出信号
