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
