| Song | Dying On The Vine |
| Artist | John Cale |
| Album | Artificial Intelligence |
| 作词 : Cale | |
| I've been chasing ghosts and | |
| I don't like it | |
| I wish someone would show me where to draw the line | |
| I'd lay down my sword if you would take it | |
| And tell everyone back home | |
| I'm doing fine | |
| I was with you down in | |
| Acapulco trading clothing for some wine | |
| Smeling like an old adobe woman | |
| Or a William | |
| Burroughs playing for lost time | |
| I was thinking about my mother | |
| I was thinking about what's mine | |
| I was living my life like a holy war | |
| But I was dying on the vine | |
| Who could sleep through all that noisy chatter | |
| The troops, the celebrations in the sun | |
| The authorities say my papers are all in order | |
| If I wasn't such a coward, | |
| I would run | |
| Meet me when all the shooting's over | |
| Meet me on the other side of town | |
| Yes you can bring all your friends for protection | |
| It's always nice to have them all hanging around | |
| I was thinking about my mother | |
| I was thinking about what's mine | |
| I was living my life like a holy war | |
| But I was dying, dying on the vine |
