Alligator Blood (Original Version)

Drinking a cup of alligator blood
飲下一杯短吻鱷的鮮血
Tastes like the heads and feet we'd see
如同當地典當舖陳列出售的
For sale at the local pawn
鱷魚頭顱與四肢的血腥滋味
We'd make necklaces out of
我們用它們的殘肢製成項鍊
I'd wear them 'round my neck
點綴於脖頸之間
I'm a sucker for the love of the flesh
我是愛慾和血肉忠實的信徒
All things rancid and delicate
一切漸漸腐爛脆弱易逝
But the smell in the summer heat
但唯獨那夏日的滋味
It still gets to me
仍縈繞著我不願散去
Knee-deep in the poacher's dream
獵戶幽深的夢中潛入齊膝的沼澤
He dragged that thing out back and he
他將那隻鱷魚拖拽出
Hung it upside down, slit its belly open
把它高懸倒掛開膛破肚
And let it bleed out
放乾它的血液
And he held my head and made me watch
他會粗暴的按住我的頭讓我注視著鱷魚的屍體
He filled my mouth up with its blood and said
逼迫我喝下鱷魚的鮮血然後說
'Grow up weak or grow up tough'
不想羸弱不堪便要堅強起來
Playing in the swamp of alligator blood
於那夾雜著鱷魚血漬的沼澤中嬉戲
Behind our house in the marshy lawn
屋後那片沼澤的草地中
He'd always hold my head
他總是會按住我的頭
Under the water a little too long
將我沉入水下片刻
'Cause he wanted me to be all guts, no glory
他想窺探我所有的秘密磨平我那顆榮耀的心
'All survivor, no guilt,' he said
無罪之人才能苟活於世他說道
But he calls me his crocodile tears
但他仍稱我為偽善者的眼淚
While I'm chained up to the bed
當我被禁錮於床榻之上
Knee-deep in the poacher's dream
獵戶幽深的夢中潛入齊膝的沼澤
He dragged that thing out back and he
他將那隻鱷魚拖拽出
Hung it upside down, slit its belly open
把它高懸倒掛開膛破肚
And let it bleed out
放乾它的血液
And he held my head and made me watch
他會粗暴的按住我的頭讓我注視著鱷魚的屍體
He filled my mouth up with its blood and said
逼迫我喝下鱷魚的鮮血然後說
'Grow up weak or grow up tough'
不想羸弱不堪便要堅強起來
When I was done
當我一飲而盡
Wiped my mouth on his sleeve
用他的袖子拭乾嘴角的血痕
I ****ed the soul of the south but it crucified me
我已玷污了南部生靈之魂它將永世將我釘在那罪惡的十字架上
