Written by：JohnCale

I've been chasing ghosts and I don't like it
我一直在追逐幻影 这让我疲惫不堪
I wish someone would show me where to draw the line
多希望有人能指引我 何处是界限
I'd lay down my sword if you would take it
若你愿意接过我的剑 我便放下武器
And tell everyone back home I'm doing fine
告诉家乡的人们 我一切安好
I was with you down in Acapulco
曾与你共度阿卡普尔科的时光
Trading clothing for some wine
用衣物换取美酒
Smelling like an old adobe woman
散发着老土坯房女人的气息
Or a William burroughs playing for lost time
或是像威廉·巴勒斯般虚掷光阴
I was thinking about my mother
我想起了我的母亲
I was thinking about what's mine
我在思索属于我的一切
I was living my life like a Hollywood
我过着好莱坞般的浮华生活
But I was dying on the vine
内心却如枯藤般凋零
Who could sleep through all that noisy chatter
谁能在这喧嚣中安然入睡
The troops the celebrations in the sun
阳光下军队与庆典的喧闹
The authorities say my papers are all in order
当局说我的文件全都合规
And if I wasn't such a coward I would run
若不是这般怯懦 我早已逃离
I'll see you me when all the shooting's over
当硝烟散尽 我会与你重逢
Meet me on the other side of town
在小镇的另一边等我
Yes you can bring all your friends along for protection
带上你的朋友作伴也无妨
It's always nice to have them hanging around
有他们围绕总是温暖
I was thinking about my mother
我想起了我的母亲
I was thinking about what's mine
我在思索属于我的一切
I was living my life like a Hollywood
我过着好莱坞般的浮华生活
But I was dying dying on the vine
内心却如藤蔓般枯萎凋零
