Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Sheff
[00:06.33] No one wants to hear about your 97th tear,
[00:10.64] so dry your eyes or let it go uncried, my dear.
[00:15.38] I am all out of love to mouth into your ear,
[00:20.56] and not above letting a love song disappear before it's written.
[00:29.51]
[00:31.45] And no one wants a tune about the 100th luftballoon
[00:35.88] that was seen shooting from the window of your room,
[00:40.81] to be a spot against the sky's colossal gloom and land, deflated,
[00:47.42] in some neighbor state that's strewn with 99 others.
[00:53.92] 8 Chinese brothers
[01:01.28] well, there's a reason why the last is smiling wide
[01:05.27] and sitting higher than the others,
[01:08.58] swinging his arms.
[01:13.07]
[01:14.88] You would probably die before you shot up 9 miles high,
[01:19.00] your eyes dilated as light plays upon the sight
[01:23.68] of TVC one-six as it sings you goodnight.
[01:27.42] Relaxed as hell and locked up in cell 45,
[01:32.91] I hope you're feeling better.
[01:36.35] The 51st way to leave your lover,
[01:43.33] admittedly, doesn't seem to be as gentle
[01:47.70] or as clean as all the others,
[01:50.70] leaving its scars.
[01:53.69] All in the after hours of some Greenpoint bar,
[02:00.31]
[02:01.06] I told you I can't listen, baby,
[02:03.62] about the 4th time you were a lady,
[02:06.24] and how your forthrightness betrayed a secret shyness,
[02:08.61] stripped away by days of being hailed as Your Highness.
[02:16.16] And what's new, pussycat, is that you were once a lioness
[02:21.15] they cut your claws out.
[02:25.02] Kitten, not everyone's keen on lighting candle 17.
[02:30.20] The party's done. The cake's all gone. The plates are clean.
[02:35.75] The chauffeur's leering from the cheerless mezzanine.
[02:40.37] And, in just 1 year, the straight world can pay to see
[02:44.93] what they have been missing.
[02:47.68]
[02:50.42] You were caught kissing 8 Chinese brothers,
[02:55.35] but there's a reason why the last is smiling wide
[02:59.47] and sitting higher than the others, stinking with charm.
[03:06.02]
[03:08.52] And he says, Let's get lost. Let them send out alarms.
[03:15.01] He says, Let's get crossed out and come to harm.
[03:20.00] Let's make the world's stupidest stand and truly mean it.
[03:26.18] Let's hit the limit of laws over lovers' arms - no, let's exceed it.
