The other night a voice came to me

Turned out it was god

He said Ochs wake up this is god here over
祂说 奥克斯醒来 我是降临人间的神
I said you're putting me on of course Dylan
我说 你一定是迪伦在戏弄我吧
So he did a few tricks
于是祂显了几个神迹
He moved the bed back and forth
让床榻凭空来回移动
Trembling I asked what is it you want o lord
我颤抖着问 主啊 您究竟有何旨意
He said well frankly Phil I went downtown the other day
祂说 坦白讲菲尔 前日我巡游凡间
Saw the greatest story ever told

Couldn't believe it it's gone too far
难以置信 竟已荒谬至此
Something must be done about Christianity

Then woof in a puff of smoke he disappeared
随后他如烟般消散无踪
The next morning I woke up had a few drinks
翌日醒来 我小酌几杯
Realized it was all true

And decided to do something about Christianity

But what could I do me a poor humble boy from the sticks
