Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Daniel Johnston
[00:27.721] Surely you don't work all night
[00:31.747] Surely you don't work all night
[00:35.997] You think you're all right
[00:41.918] Surely you don't work all night
[00:46.037] I walked the town late last night
[00:54.361] I walked clear across town just to write some graffiti on the wall
[00:59.020] When I got there I couldn't think of anything to say
[01:07.520] The buildings stood still
[01:10.856] Like giant tombstones
[01:15.665] Dark and blue and still
[01:22.846] I came to a dead end up an alley
[01:27.082] And saw a cold cement canvas and a Mac truck on a hill
[01:38.387] And I wrote the words of Al Pompas on the subway wall
[01:46.593] And there's a football star on a McDonalds glass
[01:51.768] Staring at me right in the face
[01:55.252] And he looks just like Pete Arner
[02:03.353] And the sun comes thru the windows
[02:08.615] It was just like letting the dog in in the morning
[02:11.101] It was jumping all over the room
[02:14.976] And waggin' its tail in my eyes
[02:19.397] But me I was unenthusiastic
[02:22.997] My skin felt just like plastic
[02:27.612] Everyday I sleep in that casket
[02:30.996] That I pulled out and crawled in
[02:42.900] And I ripped my own hair out late last night in a dream
[02:52.265] Is that band really gonna play that in public?
[02:56.486] "killing my softly with my song"?
[03:07.657] The queen stands proud in the circus parade
[03:12.215] With a baby in her arm
[03:15.980] And I sit loud on a toilet seat
[03:20.396] Like a monkey in a zoo
[03:23.542] And there's a McDonalds glass staring at me, laughing
[03:40.630] Surely you don't work all night
[03:44.429] Surely you don't work all night
[03:48.264] We think you're all right
[03:54.068] Surely you don't work all night
