Adder

An adder wrapped it's neck around meUna serpiente enrolló su cuello alrededor de mí

The serpent in it's posture, is draining life from meLa serpiente en su postura, está drenando vida de mí

There is water at the bottom of the seaHay agua en el fondo del mar

Beneath the plastic islands, and white chemical streamDebajo de las islas de plástico y el arroyo químico blanco

I asked for water and they gave me gasolinePedí agua y me dieron gasolina

They said gasoline's expensive and water's often freeDijeron que la gasolina es cara y el agua a menudo es gratis

I asked for water and they gave me gasolinePedí agua y me dieron gasolina

I asked for water and they gave me gasolinePedí agua y me dieron gasolina

Asked for a drink, they gave me turpentinePedí un trago, me dieron trementina

They put the spike into the wells and turned their money greenClavaron el pico en los pozos y volvieron su dinero verde

I asked for water and they gave me gasolinePedí agua y me dieron gasolina

If I were a bird a bull would step on meSi fuera un pájaro, un toro me pisaría

He'd twist my nose and break up all my wingsTorcería mi nariz y rompería todas mis alas

The only thing left over would be the little song I singLo único que quedaría sería la pequeña canción que canto

If I were a bull a butcher I would seeSi fuera un toro, vería a un carnicero

Like an animal that's carved before he's freeComo un animal que es tallado antes de ser libre

But if I were a butcher, my apron would be cleanPero si fuera un carnicero, mi delantal estaría limpio

An adder wrapped it's neck around meUna serpiente enrolló su cuello alrededor de mí

So that I will see the bad things that he seesPara que vea las cosas malas que él ve

And when I'm too much like him, that's when he will eat meY cuando sea demasiado parecido a él, ahí es cuando me comerá
