Oedipus

I'm the King's thirty second son
我是國王的第32個兒子
Born to him a thirty second time
也是第32次生小孩
Born to him the night still young
我出生的那天,天色尚早
Born to him with two eyebrows on
我帶著兩道眉毛出生
And that's all I was wearing
那也是我來到世上,唯一帶的東西
When I woke up staring at the world
當我醒來,我一直張大眼睛看著這個世界

My mom had been around the graves of queens
我的媽媽是眾多的妃后之一
But not at all like a sex machine
但是並非每個妃后都是性發洩的工具
She liked to keep her body clean, clean
她喜歡保持身體清潔
Thought the world to be quite obscene
雖然她的世界是淫穢的
But she retired to her chambers
但是她都隱居在她的寢宮裡
And we remain quite strangers
而使我們彼此變成陌生人

And to see me made her awful sad
也因此看到我,會讓她覺得非常悲哀
And to touch me made her awful sad
觸摸我也會讓她覺得非常悲哀
And to see me made her awful
看到我,會讓她覺得非常悲哀
And to touch me made her awful
觸摸我也會讓她覺得非常悲哀

I'm the king's thirty second son
And all it took was thirty second's time
But a spoiled little prince I was not
Had a chamber maid and a chamber pot
And there's thirty one others just like me
There's thirty one others I can be

Someimtes I'd stand by the royal wall
The sky'd be so big that it broke my soul
And i stood on my toes to catch a glimpse
Of my mother's eyes and my mother's skin
And she retired to her chamber
And we remain quite strangers

And to see me made her awful sad
And to touch me made her awful sad
And to see me made her awful
And to touch me made her awful


And one morning I woke up
and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex
Then one morning I woke up
and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Thirty two's still a goddamn number
Thirty two's still counts
Gonna make it count
Gonna make it count
Gonna oh oh

Thirty two's still a goddamn number
Thirty two still counts
Gonna make it count
Gonna make it count
Gonna oh oh

Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the king
Long live the

I'm the king's thirty second son
There's thirty one others just like me
There's thirty one others on the way
There's thirty one others after that

Sometimes I stand by the royal gate
People screaming love and hate
And they scream
And they scream
And they scream
And they scream
Long live the king,
long live the queen

And to see me made her awful sad
And to touch me made her awful sad
And to see me made her awful
And to touch me made her awful

And one morning I woke up
and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Then one morning I woke up and I thought Rex, Rex, Rex
Then one morning I woke up
and I thought Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus, Oedipus
Thirty two's still a goddamn number
Thirty two's still counts
Gonna make it count
Gonna make it count
Gonna oh oh

Thirty two's still a goddamn number
Thirty two's still a goddamn number
Thirty two's still a goddamn number
Thirty two's still a goddamn number
