[00:00.000] 作曲 : Ellen Kempner
[00:00.46]Where we live
[00:02.39]Beneath the frozen lake
[00:03.94]Our hands reach out to each other
[00:05.70]Like we're telling a story
[00:07.51]A good one
[00:08.39]A funny one
[00:09.37]About the people who have wronged us
[00:11.26]One that we rehearsed earlier
[00:12.91]In the time before this
[00:14.36]While we were still getting ready in the shower or in front of the mirror
[00:19.16]And we look good, we look really good considering everything
[00:23.55]My mom’s hands look elegant and tiny
[00:25.61]My sisters' asses are tight
[00:27.49]And their eyeliner is identical
[00:29.60]And our hair is flowing behind us, still and dark
[00:32.78]And their heels hold onto their toes
[00:34.85]Like a person at the edge of a window
[00:36.91]And my boots are cutting into my ankles
[00:38.97]And we are noiseless and hard
[00:41.44]The hot blueberry casserole before it drops on the ground
[00:44.82]The bad news before it breaks
[00:47.07]The eyelash swimming behind the eyeball that makes us wink
[00:50.38]And down there with us, I guess there's a bottle
[00:53.36]And I guess there’s a red cloud of wine always on the edge of enveloping us
[00:57.03]And up above the men hook worms onto the end of hooks
[01:00.74]And cast their lines into the cold grey
[01:03.47]And whistle as they wait
[01:05.46]And we stay below in the dark
[01:08.09]With our mouths open because we are in the middle of saying something
[01:11.50]Or in the middle of stopping one another
[01:13.98]And I am just about to touch the ice
[01:16.46]I'm just about to make it crack
[01:18.72]I'm just about to get us out of here
[01:21.24]But nothing ever changes
[01:23.47]The ducks don't come back
[01:25.37]The men go home to their fires
[01:27.54]And the woman they chose
[01:29.34]And the sun stays hiding
[01:31.36]The trees hugging the lake stay naked
[01:33.62]And they shake from the wind
