Guided by Voices - Game of Pricks

「Alien Lanes (1995)」より

I've waited too long to have you hide in the back of me
あまりにも長かった。君が僕の後ろに隠れるようになるまで
I've cheated so long, I wonder how you keep track of me
随分と長く欺いてきた。どうやって僕についてきてるんだい
You could never be strong, you can only be free
君は強くはなれなかった。得たのは自由だけ
And I'll never ask for the truth, but you owe that to me
真実なんて求めない。けど、君のせいだぜ

I've entered the game of pricks with knives in the back of me
今や僕は刺しあいの渦中。ナイフを背に隠して
Can't call you or on you no more when they're attacking me
君に声をかけることも会うこともできない。奴らが攻めてこれば
I'll climb up on the house, weep to water the trees
屋根まで上り、涙で木々に水をやる
And when you come calling me down, I'll put on my disease
君がけなすなら、病気のふりをしよう

You could never be strong, you can only be free
君は強くはなれなかった。得たのは自由だけ
And I'll never ask for the truth, but you owe that to me
真実なんて求めない。けど、君のせいだぜ
And I'll never ask for the truth, but you owe that to me
真実なんて求めない。けど、君のせいだぜ
And I'll never ask for the truth, but you owe that to me
真実なんて求めない。けど、君のせいだぜ
