Song | Twilight Of A Champion |
Artist | The The |
Album | Infected |
作词 : Johnson, Mosimann | |
The rising moon faces the sickening sun, | |
As the lights in the tower blocks go on, one by one, | |
A big shot, overlooking this black iron skyline-- | |
Surrounded by his symbols of prosperity-- | |
Sits back in his new leather chair | |
Ripped off the back of some unfortunate beast. | |
I'm smiling through my teeth. | |
Anybody can be a millionaire, | |
So everybody's gotta try | |
But by the laws of this human jungle | |
Only the heartless will survive. | |
& down there--but for the grace of god | |
,go i. | |
The smoke & the steam, & the broken down dreams, | |
The hope, & the hunger, frustration & anger, | |
The little drunken lives,-- | |
Driven' through the traffic lights | |
& away from who they are! | |
But i've been thinking of you-- | |
In this great city of great solitude. | |
Crossin' the central reservation, of my imagination, | |
Searchin' for the world i...left behind. | |
A shadow hunting shadows of childhood life. | |
It's all i want--& all i miss-- | |
But how can i return, to a place that don't exist!! | |
From mombosa to miami, beiruit to bangladesh, | |
I've flown around the world standing | |
On the wing of a jet. | |
Tryin' to salvage my emotions | |
From the bottom of the oceans-- | |
Y'see i sold my soul, to pay for my dinner. | |
My stomach grew fatter, but my heart grew thinner, | |
I ain't foolin' i'm fallin', i wasn't wicked, just weak, | |
I ain't lyin' i'm dyin', crippled by deceit-- | |
Oh the hand that wrote the agony | |
Has just begun-- | |
Will be the hand that pulls the trigger | |
,of this gun!!! |
