Waiting Around to Die - The Be Good Tanyas

Waiting Around to Die - The Be Good Tanyas

Sometimes I don't know where
有时候，我感到迷茫
This stony road is taking me
不知道这条崎岖的路通往何处
Sometimes I don't know the reason why
有时候，我感到彷徨
So I guess I'll keep gambling
我只得继续赌博
Lots of booze and lots of rambling
醉意朦胧，跌撞前行
Well it's easier than just waiting around to die
这比等死容易多了
Well one time friends
我的朋友
I had a ma I even had a pa
曾经，我的母亲还在，我的父亲也还在
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
有一次，父亲用皮带殴打了母亲，因为她流泪了
She told him to take care of me
她叫父亲好好照顾我
She headed down to Tennessee
她只身前往了田纳西州
Well it's easier than just waiting around to die
这比等死容易多了
Then I became of age
我长大后
And I found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
我在塔斯卡卢萨酒吧邂逅一位女孩
She cleaned me out and she hit it on the sly
她为我清洗身上赃物，她偷偷地爱着我
Well I tried to kill the pain

I bought some wine I hopped a train

Well it was easier than just waiting around to die
这比等死容易多了
Then a friend said he knew

Where some easy money was

We robbed a man and brother did we fly
我们去打劫，这太不可思议了
But the posse caught up with me
但是我们被警察抓住了
And drugged me back to Muskogee

And now it's two long years just waiting around to die
事情过去了两年，我现在就如同在等死
Now I'm out of prison
现在我刑满释放
And I got me a friend at last
我至少还有一个朋友
He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie

While his name is Codeine

And he's the nicest thing I've seen

And together we're gonna wait around to die
