[00:01.00] 作词 : Goldwasser & Vanwyngarden
[01:08.03]Dead in the water
[01:11.58]It's not a paid vacation
[01:15.64]
[01:16.20]The sons and daughters of city officials
[01:20.56]Attend demonstrations
[01:22.20]
[01:24.19]It's hardly a sink or swim
[01:27.37]When all is well if the ticket sells
[01:32.18]
[01:41.12]Out with a wimper
[01:44.49]It's not a blaze of glory
[01:47.49]
[01:48.72]You look down from your temple
[01:51.48]As people endeavor to make it a story
[01:56.47]
[01:57.40]And chisel a marble word
[02:00.65]But all is lost if it's never heard
[02:05.72]But I've got someone to make reports
[02:17.02]That tell me how my money's spent
[02:21.13]To book my stays and draw my blinds
[02:25.25]So I can't tell what's really there
[02:29.62]And all I need's a great big congratulations
[02:35.23]
[03:10.55]I'll keep your dreams
[03:11.68]You pay attention for me
[03:14.80]
[03:15.79]As strange as it seems
[03:18.35]I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me
[03:22.16]
[03:23.34]The ground may be moving fast
[03:27.34]But I tied my boots to a broken mast
[03:31.84]
[03:41.19]The difference is clear
[03:44.07]
[03:44.63]You throw it in your cauldron
[03:48.74]
[03:49.37]Rust and veneer dusk and dawn
[03:53.42]Steinways and Baldwins
[03:55.55]
[03:57.11]You start with a simple stock of all the waste
[04:02.85]And salt to taste
[04:05.09]
[04:13.20]But damn my luck and damn these friends
[04:17.01]That keep on combing back their smiles
[04:21.38]I save my grace with half-assed guilt
[04:25.24]And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
[04:29.62]But damn my luck and damn these friends
[04:33.49]That keep on combing back their smiles
[04:37.74]I save my grace with half-assed guilt
[04:41.78]And lay down the quilt upon the lawn
[04:46.16]Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
