Dia menjual kartu pos dari tempat kertas
a whiskey bottle in his withered hand
sebotol wiski di tangannya yang layu
he put a finger on a photo from an old magazine
Dia menempelkan jari di foto dari majalah lama
and saw himself in the shadow of his dream
dan melihat dirinya dalam bayangan mimpinya
They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown
Mereka menemukannya dengan kepala di dalam mahkota timah
told him his feet stank and took him downtown
Kukatakan bahwa kakinya berbau busuk dan membawanya ke pusat kota
called him agitator, spy and thief
memanggilnya agitator, mata-mata dan pencuri
shut him up in solitary third degree
Tutup dia di tingkat ketiga
take a long line, reel him in
mengambil garis panjang, reel dia masuk
He tried to appeal to the king of might
Dia mencoba untuk menarik raja mungkin
he said “I'm just excercising my sacred right”
Dia berkata “Saya hanya mengeksploitasi hak suci saya”
the king he said “You ain't got no rights
raja dia berkata “Anda tidak punya hak
you're a madman, a traitor, get outta my sight”
Anda orang gila, pengkhianat, keluar dari pandangan saya “
take along line, reel him in
mengambil sepanjang baris, reel dia masuk
They put him aboard a well wound whirlwind
Mereka menaruhnya di atas angin sepoi-sepoi
pulled out his teeth and rold him to grin
menarik giginya dan memelototinya untuk menyeringai
he gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine
Dia memberi mereka senyuman, mengeluarkan sebotol anggur
and said “I never existed, you've been wasting your time”
dan berkata “Saya tidak pernah ada, Anda telah membuang-buang waktumu”
take a long line, reel him in
mengambil garis panjang, reel dia masuk
