[中文]

那是1963年11月达拉斯的黑暗一天

...

这一天将永载耻辱史册

...

肯尼迪总统高高在上

活着是美好的一天，死去也是美好的一天

像祭品羊一样被引向屠宰

他说：“等一下，伙计们，你们知道我是谁吗？”

“当然知道，我们知道你是谁”

然后他们在他还在车里时就开了枪

像狗一样在光天化日之下被击毙

这完全是时机的问题，而时机正好

你有未偿还的债务，我们来收账

我们要用仇恨来杀了你，毫无尊重可言

...

我们会嘲笑你，震惊你，直接把它放在你面前

我们已经有了人来替代你的位置

...

那天他们击碎了国王的脑袋

成千上万的人在观看，却没有人看到任何事情

发生得如此之快，快得让人意外

就在每个人眼前

阳光下最伟大的魔术

完美执行，技艺高超

狼男啊，狼男啊，狼男嚎叫

咕噜咕噜咕噜，这是一桩极其可怕的谋杀

...

安静点，小孩们，你们会明白的

披头士乐队来了，他们会牵着你们的手

滑下扶手，去拿你的外套

渡过梅西河，去争取胜利

...

有三个流浪汉穿着破烂的衣服走来

捡起碎片，降下旗帜

我要去伍德斯托克，这是水瓶座的时代

然后我会去阿尔塔蒙特，坐在舞台附近

把头伸出窗外，让美好时光来临

...

在草坪小山后面有个派对正在进行

堆起砖块，倒入水泥

别说达拉斯不爱你，总统先生

把脚放进油箱，踩下油门

试着赶到三重立交桥

黑脸歌手，白脸小丑

天黑后最好别露面

在红灯区里，像个巡警

在厄尔姆街的噩梦中生活

当你在深艾伦时，把钱放在鞋里

别问你的国家能为你做什么

选票上的现金，烧钱的机会

迪利广场，左转

我要去十字路口，打个车

...

信仰、希望和慈善死去的地方

...

在他跑的时候射击，孩子，趁你能射击时射击

...

看看你能否射中那个隐形人

再见，查理，再见，山姆大叔

坦白说，斯嘉丽小姐，我一点也不在乎

...

真相是什么，它又去了哪里？

问问奥斯瓦尔德和鲁比，他们应该知道

“闭嘴，”智者的猫头鹰说

生意就是生意，这是一桩极其可怕的谋杀

...

汤米，你能听到我吗？我是酸性女王

我坐在一辆长长的黑色林肯豪华轿车里

坐在后座，旁边是我的妻子

直奔来世

我靠向左边，头在她的腿上

等一下，我被引入了某种陷阱

我们不求宽恕，也不施舍宽恕

我们就在你住的街道旁

他们肢解了他的身体，挖出了他的脑袋

他们还能做什么？他们加重了痛苦

但他的灵魂并不在它该在的地方

在过去的五十年里，他们一直在寻找

...

自由，哦自由，自由在我身上

...

我不想告诉你，先生，但只有死人才是自由的

给我点爱，别说谎

...

把枪扔进水沟，走过去

...

醒醒，小苏茜，咱们去兜风吧

穿过三位一体河，让希望继续存在

...

打开收音机，别碰旋钮

帕克兰医院，只有六英里

你让我头晕，莉兹小姐，你让我充满铅

你那神奇的子弹已经到了我的脑袋

我就像帕茨·克莱因一样是个替罪羊

从前面或后面都没开过枪

我眼里有血，耳里有血

我永远无法到达新边疆

扎普鲁德的电影我前天晚上看过

看过33次，可能更多

这卑鄙而欺骗，残酷而恶毒

你见过的最丑陋的东西

他们杀了他一次，又杀了他两次

像人类的祭品一样杀了他

那天他们杀了他，有人对我说：“儿子

反基督的时代刚刚开始”

空军一号通过大门降落

约翰逊在2:38宣誓就职

让我知道你决定放弃的时候

事情就是这样，这是一桩极其可怕的谋杀

有什么新鲜事，猫咪？我说了什么？

我说一个国家的灵魂被撕裂了

而且它开始慢慢衰退

...

而且已经过了审判日36小时

狼男杰克，他在说方言

他在高声喧哗

给我放一首歌，狼男杰克

在我的长凯迪拉克里为我演奏

给我放那首“只有好人早逝”

带我去汤·杜利被绞死的地方

放圣詹姆斯医院和詹姆斯国王的法庭

如果你想记住，最好把名字写下来

也放艾塔·詹姆斯，放“我宁愿失明”

为那个有心灵感应的男人演奏

放约翰·李·胡克，放“抓我的背”

为那个名叫杰克的脱衣舞俱乐部老板演奏

...

吉他斯林慢慢下滑

为我和玛丽莲·梦露演奏

...

放“请不要让我被误解”

为第一夫人演奏，她感觉不太好

放唐·亨利，放格伦·弗莱

把它推到极限，让它过去

也为卡尔·维尔苏姆演奏

远远地看着加洛大道

放悲剧，放“黄昏时分”

带我回到塔尔萨，回到犯罪现场

再放一首“又一个咬尘埃”

放“古老的粗糙十字架”和“我们信仰上帝”

骑着粉色的马，走那条漫长而孤独的路

站在那里等他的头爆炸

为神秘先生放“神秘列车”

那个像无根树一样倒下的男人

为牧师演奏，为牧师演奏

为没有主人的狗演奏

...

放奥斯卡·彼得森，放斯坦·盖茨

放“蓝天”，放迪基·贝茨

...

放阿特·佩珀，西奥诺斯·蒙克

查理·帕克和所有那些垃圾

所有那些垃圾和“所有的爵士”

为阿尔卡特拉斯的鸟人放点东西

放巴斯特·基顿，放哈罗德·劳埃德

放巴格西·西格尔，放漂亮男孩·弗洛伊德

放数字，放赔率

为众神之主放“哭我一条河”

放9号，放6号

为林赛和史蒂维·尼克斯放

放纳特·金·科尔，放“自然男孩”

为特里·马洛伊放“在乡下”

放“一个夜晚发生的事”和“罪恶之夜”

有一千二百万个灵魂在倾听

放“威尼斯商人”，放“死亡商人”

为麦克白夫人放“星光下的斯特拉”

别担心，总统先生，援助正在路上

你的兄弟们来了，会有麻烦

兄弟？什么兄弟？这是什么地狱？

告诉他们：“我们在等着，继续来，”我们也会抓住他们

...

爱场是他的飞机降落的地方

但它再也没有起飞

这是个难以追随的表演，独一无二

他们在升起的太阳的祭坛上杀了他

为我放“迷雾”和“那古老的魔鬼月亮”

放“万事皆可”以及“六月的孟菲斯”

放“孤独在顶端”和“勇敢者孤独”

为在坟墓里旋转的胡迪尼放

放果冻卷·莫顿，放“露西尔”

放“梦中深处”，放“驾驶轮”

在F#调中放“月光奏鸣曲”

为竖琴上的国王放“通往高速公路的钥匙”

放“穿越乔治亚州”和“邓巴顿的鼓”

放黑暗，死亡会在来临时到来

为伟大的巴德·鲍威尔放“爱我或离开我”

放“血染的旗帜”，放“极其可怕的谋杀”

...

[英语]

Twas a dark day in Dallas, November '63

A day that will live on in infamy

President Kennedy was a-ridin' high

Good day to be livin' and a good day to die

Being led to the slaughter like a sacrificial lamb

He said, "Wait a minute, boys, you know who I am?"

"Of course we do. We know who you are"

Then they blew off his head while he was still in the car

Shot down like a dog in broad daylight

Was a matter of timing and the timing was right

You got unpaid debts we've come to collect

We're gonna kill you with hatred, without any respect

We'll mock you and shock you and we'll put it in your face

We've already got someone here to take your place

The day they blew out the brains of the king

Thousands were watching, no one saw a thing

It happened so quickly, so quick, by surprise

Right there in front of everyone's eyes

Greatest magic trick ever under the sun

Perfectly executed, skillfully done

Wolfman, oh wolfman, oh wolfman howl

Rub-a-dub-dub, it's a murder most foul

Hush, little children, you'll understand

The Beatles are comin', they're gonna hold your hand

Slide down the banister, go get your coat

Ferry 'cross the Mersey and go for the throat

There's three bums comin' all dressed in rags

Pick up the pieces and lower the flags

I'm going to Woodstock, it's the Aquarian Age

Then I'll go to Altamont and sit near the stage

Put your head out the window, let the good times roll

There's a party going on behind the Grassy Knoll

Stack up the bricks, pour the cement

Don't say Dallas don't love you, Mr. President

Put your foot in the tank and step on the gas

Try to make it to the triple underpass

Blackface singer, whiteface clown

Better not show your faces after the sun goes down

Up in the red light district, like a cop on the beat

Living in a nightmare on Elm Street

When you're down in Deep Ellum, put your money in your shoe

Don't ask what your country can do for you

Cash on the ballot, money to burn

Dealey Plaza, make a left-hand turn

I'm going down to the crossroads, gonna flag a ride

The place where faith, hope, and charity died

Shoot him while he runs, boy, shoot him while you can

See if you can shoot the invisible man

Goodbye, Charlie, goodbye, Uncle Sam

Frankly, Miss Scarlett, I don't give a damn

What is the truth, and where did it go?

Ask Oswald and Ruby, they oughta know

"Shut your mouth," said the wise old owl

Business is business, and it's a murder most foul

Tommy, can you hear me? I'm the Acid Queen

I'm riding in a long, black Lincoln limousine

Riding in the backseat next to my wife

Heading straight on in to the afterlife

I'm leaning to the left, I've got my head in her lap

Hold on, I've been led into some kind of a trap

Where we ask no quarter, and no quarter do we give

We're right down the street from the street where you live

They mutilated his body, and they took out his brain

What more could they do? They piled on the pain

But his soul was not there where it was supposed to be at

For the last fifty years they've been searchin' for that

Freedom, oh freedom, freedom over me

I hate to tell you, mister, but only dead men are free

Send me some lovin', tell me no lie

Throw the gun in the gutter and walk on by

Wake up, little Susie, let's go for a drive

Cross the Trinity River, let's keep hope alive

Turn the radio on, don't touch the dials

Parkland hospital, only six more miles

You got me dizzy, Miss Lizzy, you filled me with lead

That magic bullet of yours has gone to my head

I'm just a patsy like Patsy Cline

Never shot anyone from in front or behind

I've blood in my eye, got blood in my ear

I'm never gonna make it to the new frontier

Zapruder's film I seen night before

Seen it 33 times, maybe more

It's vile and deceitful, it's cruel and it's mean

Ugliest thing that you ever have seen

They killed him once and they killed him twice

Killed him like a human sacrifice

The day that they killed him, someone said to me, "Son

The age of the Antichrist has just only begun"

Air Force One coming in through the gate

Johnson sworn in at 2:38

Let me know when you decide to throw in the towel

It is what it is, and it's murder most foul

What's new, pussycat? What'd I say?

I said the soul of a nation been torn away

And it's beginning to go into a slow decay

And that it's 36 hours past Judgment Day

Wolfman Jack, he's speaking in tongues

He's going on and on at the top of his lungs

Play me a song, Mr. Wolfman Jack

Play it for me in my long Cadillac

Play me that "Only the Good Die Young"

Take me to the place Tom Dooley was hung

Play St. James Infirmary and the Court of King James

If you want to remember, you better write down the names

Play Etta James, too, play "I'd Rather Go Blind"

Play it for the man with the telepathic mind

Play John Lee Hooker, play "Scratch My Back"

Play it for that strip club owner named Jack

Guitar Slim going down slow

Play it for me and for Marilyn Monroe

Play, "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"

Play it for the First Lady, she ain't feeling any good

Play Don Henley, play Glenn Frey

Take it to the limit and let it go by

Play it for Karl Wirsum, too

Looking far, far away at Down Gallow Avenue

Play tragedy, play "Twilight Time"

Take me back to Tulsa to the scene of the crime

Play another one and "Another One Bites the Dust"

Play "The Old Rugged Cross" and "In God We Trust"

Ride the pink horse down that long, lonesome road

Stand there and wait for his head to explode

Play "Mystery Train" for Mr. Mystery

The man who fell down dead like a rootless tree

Play it for the Reverend, play it for the Pastor

Play it for the dog that got no master

Play Oscar Peterson, play Stan Getz

Play "Blue Sky", play Dickey Betts

Play Art Pepper, Thelonious Monk

Charlie Parker and all that junk

All that junk and "All That Jazz"

Play something for the Birdman of Alcatraz

Play Buster Keaton, play Harold Lloyd

Play Bugsy Siegel, play Pretty Boy Floyd

Play the numbers, play the odds

Play "Cry Me A River" for the Lord of the gods

Play Number 9, play Number 6

Play it for Lindsey and Stevie Nicks

Play Nat King Cole, play "Nature Boy"

Play "Down In The Boondocks" for Terry Malloy

Play "It Happened One Night" and "One Night of Sin"

There's twelve million souls that are listening in

Play "Merchant of Venice", play "Merchants of Death"

Play "Stella by Starlight" for Lady Macbeth

Don't worry, Mr. President, help's on the way

Your brothers are coming, there'll be hell to pay

Brothers? What brothers? What's this about hell?

Tell them, "We're waiting. Keep coming," we'll get them as well

Love Field is where his plane touched down

But it never did get back up off the ground

Was a hard act to follow, second to none

They killed him on the altar of the rising sun

Play "Misty" for me and "That Old Devil Moon"

Play "Anything Goes" and "Memphis in June"

Play "Lonely At the Top" and "Lonely Are the Brave"

Play it for Houdini spinning around in his grave

Play Jelly Roll Morton, play "Lucille"

Play "Deep In a Dream", and play "Driving Wheel"

Play "Moonlight Sonata" in F-sharp

And "A Key to the Highway" for the king on the harp

Play "Marching Through Georgia" and "Dumbarton's Drums"

Play darkness, and death will come when it comes
