Bullets

He's been collecting since the age of nine
自他九歲那年開始
Every shiny bullet that he could find
他就收集他能找到的每顆閃亮的子彈
Built himself a house with the wooden floors
他給自己建了棟木質地板的房子
Put the shiny bullets in a chest of drawers
把那些閃亮的子彈放進衣櫃裡
Well his wife's long gone and the kids have grown
他的妻子早已逝去，孩子們也長大成人
And trees they fall down on their own
而樹木也紛紛地倒下
Memories fade like an old slideshow
記憶像泛黃的老幻燈片一般日漸褪色
But the bullets still shine like coins in the snow
但那些子彈仍像雪中的錢幣一般閃閃發亮
Well one day took himself into town
一天他動身去到鎮上
The men with a truck well they came around
有人開著卡車過來了
They took the television and the gun from the war
他們搬走了電視，還有那上過戰場的槍
And almost every bullet from the chest of drawers
還幾乎帶走了衣櫃裡的所有子彈
Well he came back home and found the house in a mess
他回到家，發現家裡一片狼藉
Run into the bedroom and the old brown chest
快步走進臥室，打開那褐色的舊櫃子
Well he didn' t care much for the VCR
他不怎麼惦記著那錄像機
But he cried for the space where the bullets were
卻為那消失不見的子彈哭泣不已
Oh well the men drove the truck down into town
小偷開著卡車進到鎮子裡
And sold all the silver they had found
把他們找到的銀具都賣掉
But they couldn't sell the bullets cause they weren't live rounds
但是他們賣不出那子彈，因為那些只是彈殼
So they dug a big hole put the bullets in the ground
於是他們挖了個大洞，把子彈埋進地裡
Now he doesn't leave the house much anymore
現在他不再時常出門
Cause the men are gonna come like they did before
因為小偷們還會像舊時那樣光顧
And he'll hold onto the three or four
他會緊緊攥住那三四顆
Bullets that they left in the chest of drawers
小偷們留在那衣櫃裡的子彈
Oh yeah the bullets that they left in the chest of drawers
沒錯，小偷們留在那衣櫃裡的子彈
