中英歌词
A boy with a coin he found in the weeds 一个男孩在杂草丛中发现了一枚硬币
With bullets and pages of trade magazines 和着一些子弹以及几本商业杂志
Close to a car that flipped on the turn 就在一辆因转弯而翻车的汽车旁边
When God left the ground to circle the world当上帝飞身忙于巡视世界之时
A girl with a bird she found in the snow 一个女孩在雪地里发现了一只小鸟
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows它飞上了她长裙,小女孩这时才知道
That God made her eyes for crying at birth 上帝赐予她双眼,于是她天生会哭泣
Then left the ground to circle the Earth 然后上帝飞身,继续巡视俗世
Boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans 男孩把硬币匆忙塞进了牛仔裤里
Then making a wish he tossed it in the sea 许了个愿望后,他把硬币扔进了大海
Walked to a town that all of us burn 然后走向煎熬着世人的小镇
When God left the ground to circle the world 此时上帝飞身,继续巡视俗世
