	作词 : Leonard Cohen
	Four o'clock in the afternoon
	And I didn't feel like very much
	I said to myself, "Where are you, Golden BoyWhere's your famous golden touch?"
	I thought you knew where
	All of the elephants lie down
	I thought you were the crown prince
	Of all the wheels in ivory town
	Just take a look at your body now
	There's nothing much to save
	And a bitter voice in the mirror cries"Hey, Prince, you need a shave"
	Now, if you can manage to get
	Your trembling fingers to behave
	Why don't you try unwrapping
	A stainless steel razor blade?
	That's right, it's come to this
	Yes, it's come to this
	And wasn't it a long way down?
	Wasn't it a strange way down?
	There's no hot water
	And the cold is running thin
	Well, what do you expect from
	The kind of places you've been living in?
	Don't drink from that cup
	It's all caked and cracked along the rim
	That's not the electric light, my friend
	That is your vision growing dim
	Cover up your face with soap, there
	Now, you're
	Santa Claus
	And you've got a gift for anyone
	Who will give you his applause
	I thought you were a racing man
	Ah, but you couldn't take the pace
	That's a funeral in the mirror
	And it's stopping at your face
	That's right, it's come to this
	Yes, it's come to this
	And wasn't it a long way down?
	Ah, wasn't it a strange way down?
	Once there was a path
	And a girl with chestnut hair
	And you passed the summers
	Picking all of the berries that grew there
	There were times she was a woman
	Oh, there were times she was just a child
	And you held her in the shadows
	Where the raspberries grow wild
	And you climbed the twilight mountains
	And you sang about the view
	And everywhere that you wandered
	Love seemed to go along with you
	That's a hard one to remember
	Yes, it makes you clench your fist
	And then the veins stand out like highways
	All along your wrist
	And yes, it's come to this
	It's come to this
	And wasn't it a long way down?
	Wasn't it a strange way down?
	You can still find a job
	Go out and talk to a friend
	On the back of every magazine
	There are those coupons you can send
	Why don't you join the
	Rosicrucians?
	They will give you back your hope
	You can find your love with diagrams
	On a plain, brown envelope
	But you've used up all your coupons
	Except the one that seems
	To be written on your wrist
	Along with several thousand dreams
	Now, Santa
	Claus comes forward
	That's a razor in his mitt
	And he puts on his dark glasses
	And he shows you where to hit
	And then the cameras pan
	The stand in stunt man
	Dress rehearsal rag
	It's just the dress rehearsal rag
	You know this dress rehearsal rag
	It's just a dress rehearsal rag
