  On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair 

 

　　在漆黑荒凉的高速公路上，凉风吹散了我的头发

 

　　Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

 

　　科里塔斯温热的气息，在空中袅袅上升

 

　　Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

　　I heard the mission bell

　　Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

　　How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.

 

　　在庭院里他们舞的多欢，挥洒着夏日甜味的香汗

　　令人在午夜也会惊醒

 

　　Just to hear them say......

　　And she said :"We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"

 

　　这时她说，“我们其实不过是这里的囚徒，甘心被自己所驱使”

 

　　And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast ;

 

　　然后在主人房间里，他们聚集在盛宴前 ;

 

　　They stab it with their steely knives,

 

　　挥舞着钢制的刀叉

 

　　But they just can't kill the beast

　　Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

 

　　我记得我做的最后一件事是跑向大门

 

　　I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

 

　　我必须寻找来时的路回到从前的地方

 

　　"Relax",said the night-man,“ We are programmed to receive.
