無路可逃

〈逃不開〉

混亂都市裡我出生
美國的搖滾城
背著第一高樓的陰影
我發誓絕對要脫身
聽週日演員講什麼
但他們總是說

你逃不開這一切
不你逃不開
你逃不開這一切
不你逃不開

城市人行道是我的學校
冷漠在每個轉角
我知道必須找到出口
離開再也不回頭
對先知的預言不屑一顧
他說我終有一天會醒悟

你逃不開這一切
不你逃不開
你逃不開這一切
不你逃不開

獨自上路往西岸
偏僻小鎮暫歇腳
我付了帳轉身就走
零錢也不必找
他們準備對我說的
還是同樣那一套

你逃不開這一切
不你逃不開
你逃不開這一切
不你逃不開

在阿姆斯特丹的旅館
狂風大作的八月夜晚
一片雲飄過冷月當空
我忽然驚恐莫名
從地板下滲出湧起
穿透建築四壁
穿過房間的門
整條走廊響不停

你逃不開這一切
不你逃不開
你逃不開這一切
不你逃不開
不你逃不開
不你逃不開
不你逃不開


Can't get away
Music & lyrics by Sixto Rodriguez

Born in the troubled city
In Rock and Roll, USA
In the shadow of the tallest building
I vowed I would break away
Listened to the Sunday actors
But all they would ever say

That you can't get away from it
No you can't get away
No you can't get away from it
No you can't get away

Schooled on the city sidewalks
Coldness at every turn
Knew I had to find the exits
I never, ever would return
Scoffed at the prophet's omens
That said I would live to learn

That you can't get away from it
No you can't get away
No you can't get away from it
No you can't get away

Going unaided toward the west coast
Stopped in the sleepy town
Left my change and walked out
I didn't even turn around
What they were getting next to
Was that old familiar sound

That you can't get away from it
No you can't get away
No you can't get away from it
No you can't get away

In a hotel room in Amsterdam
On a wild and windy August night
As a cloud passed over a cold moon
My heart was seized with terror and fright
Seeping up through the floorboards
Coming in through the walls
Coming in through the doorway
Ringing up and down the halls

That you can't get away from it
No you can't get away
No you can't get away from it
No you can't get away
No you can't get away
No you can't get away
No you can't get away
