| 作词 : Cave | |
| When i first came to town | |
| All the people gathered round | |
| They bought me drinks | |
| Lord, how they quickly changed their tune | |
| When i first came to town | |
| People took me round from end to end | |
| Like someone may take round a friend | |
| O how quickly they changed their tune | |
| Suspicion and dark murmurs surround me | |
| Everywhere i go they confound me | |
| As though the blood on my hands | |
| Is there for every citizen to see | |
| O sweet jesus | |
| There is no turning back | |
| There is always one more town | |
| A little further down the track | |
| And from my window, across the tracks | |
| I watch the juicers burn their fires | |
| And in that light | |
| Their faces leer at me | |
| How i wish they'd just let me be | |
| When i first came to town | |
| Their favours were for free | |
| Now even the doors of the whores of this town | |
| Are closed to me | |
| I search the mirror | |
| And i try to see | |
| Why the people of this town | |
| Have washed their hands of me | |
| O sweet jesus | |
| There is no turning back | |
| There is always one more town | |
| A little further down the track | |
| O lord, every god-damn turn i take | |
| I fear the noose, i fear the stake | |
| For there is no bone | |
| They did not break | |
| In all the towns i've been before | |
| Well those that sin against me are snuffed out | |
| I know from every day that i live | |
| God-damn the day that i was born | |
| The night that forced me from the womb | |
| And god-damn this town | |
| For i am leaving now | |
| But one day i will return | |
| And the people of this town will surely see | |
| Just how quickly the tables turn | |
| O sweet jesus | |
| This really is the end | |
| There is always one more town | |
| A little further round the end |
