Lyrics by:Neil Young
Well I used to drive a cab you know
我曾是个出租车司机 你知道吗
I heard a siren scream
警笛声刺破长空
Pulled over to the corner and I fell into a dream
停靠街角时 我坠入梦境之中
There were two men eating pennies
两个男人在啃食硬币
And three young girls who cried
三个少女啜泣不停
The west coast is falling I see rocks in the sky
西海岸正在崩塌 我看见陨石坠向天际
The preacher took his Bible and laid it on the stool
牧师放下圣经 搁在矮凳上
He said with the congregation running
他说当信徒们奔逃时
Why should I play the fool
为何我要装疯卖傻
Well I used to be a woman you know
记得我也曾是个女人
I took you for a ride
带你兜风远行
I let you fly my airplane
任你驾驶我的飞机
It looked good for your pride
只为满足你的虚荣
'Cause you're the kind of man you know
因你是这般男人
Who likes what he says
总爱固执己见
I wonder what's it's like to be so far over my head
多想知晓 被你完全掌控的滋味
Well the lady made the wedding
那位淑女筹办了婚礼
And she brought along the ring
她带来了戒指
She got down on her knees and said
她跪下来轻声说
Let's get on with this thing
让我们继续这场仪式
Well I used to be a folk singer
我曾是个民谣歌手
Keeping managers alive
维系着经纪人的生计
When you saw me on a corner
当你在街角遇见我
And told me I was jive
却说我虚情假意
So I unlocked your mind you know
于是我开启你的心扉
To see what I could see
想一探究竟
If you guarantee the postage
若你愿承担风险
I'll mail you back the key
我自会归还钥匙
Well I woke up in the morning
清晨醒来时
With an arrow through my nose
鼻翼竟穿过箭矢
There was an Indian in the corner
角落里的印第安人
Trying on my clothes
正试穿我的衣衫
Well I used to be asleep you know
我曾沉睡不醒 你可知晓
With blankets on my bed
被褥覆身 蜷卧床榻
I stayed there for a while till they discovered I was dead
久居方寸之间 直至他们发现我已逝去
The coroner was friendly I liked him quite a lot
验尸官和善可亲 我对他颇有好感
If I hadn't have been a woman
若我生来非红妆
I guess I'd never have been caught
或许永远不会被捕获
They gave me back my house and car
他们将房屋与车归还于我
And nothing more was said
此后便再无言语
Well I was driving down the freeway
我正飞驰在高速公路上
When my car ran out of gas
油箱却突然耗尽
Pulled over to the station but I was afraid to ask
停靠加油站却不敢开口求助
The servicemen were yellow and the gasoline was green
服务人员肤色蜡黄 汽油泛着诡异绿光
Although I knew I could not
明知不该如此
I thought that I was gonna scream
却感觉尖叫即将冲破喉咙
That was on my last trip to Tulsa
那是去塔尔萨的最后旅程
Just before the snow
就在大雪降临之前
If you ever need a ride there
若你曾需要去往彼方
Be sure to let me know
请务必让我知晓
I was chopping down a palm tree
我正砍伐棕榈树时
When a friend dropped by to ask
友人突然造访询问
If I would feel less lonely
若他帮我挥动斧头
If he helped me swing the axe
是否就能驱散孤寂
I said no it's not a case of being
我说不 这并非关乎
Lonely we have here
我们此刻的孤独
I've been working on this palm tree
我在这棵棕榈树下劳作
For eighty seven years
整整八十七年
I said no it's not a case of being
我说不 这并非关乎
Lonely we have here
我们此刻的孤独
I've been working on this palm tree
我在这棵棕榈树下劳作
For eighty seven years
整整八十七年
He said go get lost and walked toward his Cadillac
他说滚开 转身走向他的凯迪拉克
I chopped down the palm tree
我砍倒了那棵棕榈树
And it landed on his back
它重重压在他的背上
