Alligator Blood

Drinking a cup of alligator blood
飲下一杯短吻鱷的鮮血
tastes like the heads and feet wed 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
Wed make necklaces out of
我們用它們的殘肢製成項鍊
Id wear them round my neck
點綴於脖頸之間
Im 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

獵戶幽深的夢中潛入齊膝的沼澤
Knee-deep in the poachers dream
他將那隻鱷魚拖拽出
he dragged that thing out back and he
把它高懸倒掛開膛破肚
hung it upside down and slit its belly open
放幹它的血液
and then he let it bleed out
他會粗暴的按住我的頭讓我注視著鱷魚的屍體
He held my head and made me watch
逼迫我喝下鱷魚的鮮血然後說
Filled my mouth up with its blood and said,
不想羸弱不堪便要堅強起來
'Grow up weak or grow up tough'
於那夾雜著鱷魚血漬的沼澤中嬉戲

屋後那片沼澤的草地中
Playing in the swamp of alligator blood
他總是會按住我的頭
behind our house in the marshy lawn
將我沉入水下片刻
hed always hold my head
他想窺探我所有的秘密磨平我那顆榮耀的心
under the water a little too long
無罪之人才能苟活於世他說道
Cuz he wanted me to be all guts no glory
但他仍稱我為偽善者的眼淚
'All survivor,no guilt' he said
當我被禁錮於床榻之上
But he calls me his crocodile tears
獵戶幽深的夢中潛入齊膝的沼澤
while Im chained up to the bed
他將那隻鱷魚拖拽出

把它高懸倒掛開膛破肚
Knee-deep in the poachers dream
放乾它的血液
he dragged that thing out back and he
他會粗暴的按住我的頭讓我注視著鱷魚的屍體
hung it upside down and slit its belly open
逼迫我喝下鱷魚的鮮血然後說
and then he let it bleed out
不想羸弱不堪便要堅強起來
He held my headand made me watch
當我一飲而盡
Filled my mouth up with its blood and said,
用他的袖子拭乾嘴角的血痕
'grow up weak or grow up tough'
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

When I was done - wiped my mouth on his sleeve
I ****** the soul of the south
but it crucified me
