Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Natalie Merchant
[00:10.80] Where in hell can you go, far from the things that you know,
[00:20.48] Far from this concrete sprawl that keeps crawling it's way,
[00:29.50] About a thousand miles a day.
[00:36.76] Take one last look behind, commit this to memory and mind,
[00:47.14] Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place, when you leave,
[00:55.49] Keep your heart off your sleeve.
[01:01.86] Motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep,
[01:12.09] Keep me safe, lie with me stay beside me don't go.
[01:23.18] Don't you go ...
[01:29.49] Oh, my five and dime queen, tell me what have you seen,
[01:39.00] The lust and the avarice the bottomless cavernous greed,
[01:48.01] Is that what you see?
[01:51.26] Oh, motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep,
[02:02.05] Keep me safe, lie with me stay beside me don't go.
[02:12.50] It's your happiness I want most of all
[02:23.06] and for that I'd do anything at all. Oh,mercy me.
[02:30.55] If you want the best of life or the most of love,
[02:41.29] If there is anything I can do at all.
[03:16.50] Now come on shotgun bride, what makes me envy your life,
[03:26.10] The faceless the nameless the innocent the blameless and free,
[03:35.50] What's that like to be?
[03:41.00] Oh, motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep,
[03:51.54] Keep me safe lie with me stay beside me don't go,don't go
[04:02.02] Motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep,
[04:12.10] Keep me safe lie with me stay beside me don't go,
[04:23.00] Don't go...
