Song | Counting Down the Hours |
Artist | Ted Leo and the Pharmacists |
Album | Shake the Sheets |
作曲 : Leo | |
Innocence, it don't come easy, in a sense, it never will | |
Accidents mean no one's guilty, ignorance means someone's killed | |
So I asked our Mr. Mellor how to get to where one's going | |
And he points to his survival and he points me down the road | |
And I go on, wondering if I've got a soul | |
And counting down the hours 'til it goes | |
On a dark, wet night in April, on a street in Jersey where | |
I went looking for some writing that I knew would not be there | |
And a punter from the Pelhams and the police in the rain | |
Were concerned more with a car than with the fact the light had changed | |
But after listening all morning as I drove down 95 | |
To a story of detainees who were barely kept alive | |
I could deal with trying to process pigeons acting like they're doves | |
But not with interference from the power lines above | |
And I go on, wondering if I've got a soul | |
And counting down the hours 'til it goes | |
Oh, precautions, yes, precautions | |
But if you're playing with a gun you could kill someone | |
And in the dark it's hard to know a friend | |
But I'm not angry, I won't be forever angry | |
As I'm walking toward tomorrow with a rifle in my hand | |
And I'm thinking about New England but I'm missing old Japan | |
And a mountain in California where a spring runs hot and cold | |
And if I told you I felt ageless, would you tell me I'm not old? | |
And I go on, wondering if I've got a soul | |
And counting down the hours 'til it goes |
