| [00:20.72] |
Now, should you expect to see something that you hadn't seen |
| [00:24.02] |
In somebody you'd known since you were sixteen? |
| [00:27.67] |
If love is a bolt from the blue |
| [00:31.09] |
Then what is that bolt but a glorified screw? |
| [00:34.48] |
And that doesn't hold nothing together |
| [00:39.29] |
Far from these nonsense bars and their nowhere music |
| [00:42.24] |
It's making me sick and I know it's making you sick |
| [00:46.56] |
There's nothing there, it's like eating air |
| [00:49.65] |
It's like drinking gin with nothing else in |
| [00:53.01] |
And that doesn't hold me together |
| [00:57.57] |
But for one crowded hour |
| [01:00.87] |
You were the only one in the room |
| [01:04.84] |
I sailed around all those bumps in the night |
| [01:08.19] |
To your beacon in the gloom |
| [01:11.20] |
I thought I had found my golden September |
| [01:14.85] |
In the middle of that purple June |
| [01:17.91] |
But one crowded hour |
| [01:21.41] |
Would lead to my wreck and ruin |
| [01:24.57] |
Now, I know you like your boys who take their medicine |
| [01:27.89] |
From the bowl of a silver spoon |
| [01:31.24] |
Who run away with the dish and scale the fish |
| [01:34.64] |
By the silvery light of the moon |
| [01:37.74] |
Who were taught from the womb to believe till the tomb |
| [01:41.60] |
That as far as their bleeding eyes see |
| [01:44.54] |
Is a pleasure pen, meant for them |
| [01:46.63] |
Builded and rent for them, not for the likes of me |
| [01:50.09] |
No, not for the likes of you and me |
| [01:55.38] |
And for one crowded hour |
| [01:58.43] |
You were the only one in the room |
| [02:02.04] |
And I sailed around all those bumps in the night |
| [02:05.15] |
To your beacon in the gloom |
| [02:08.30] |
I thought I had found my golden September |
| [02:11.64] |
In the middle of that purple June |
| [02:14.64] |
But one crowded hour |
| [02:17.64] |
Would lead to my wreck and ruin |
| [02:20.19] |
O but the green-eyed harpy of the salt land |
| [02:27.38] |
She takes into hers, my hand |
| [02:33.74] |
She says, "Boy, I know you're lying |
| [02:36.69] |
O but then so am I!" |
| [02:40.56] |
And to this I said, "O well" |
| [03:05.88] |
Well put me in a cage full of lions, I'll learn to speak lion |
| [03:09.47] |
In fact I know the language well |
| [03:12.86] |
I picked it up while I was versing myself |
| [03:16.92] |
In the languages they speak in hell |
| [03:18.84] |
That night that silence gave birth to a baby |
| [03:22.05] |
But they took it away to her silent dismay |
| [03:25.95] |
And they raised it to be lady |
| [03:29.06] |
Now she can't keep her mouth shut |
| [03:33.48] |
And for one crowded hour |
| [03:36.43] |
You were the only one in the room |
| [03:39.69] |
And I sailed around all those bumps in the night |
| [03:43.40] |
To your beacon in the gloom |
| [03:45.85] |
I thought I had found my golden September |
| [03:49.26] |
In the middle of that purple June |
| [03:52.35] |
But one crowded hour |
| [03:55.06] |
Would lead to my wreck and ruin |
| [03:58.11] |
Yes, that one crowded hour |
| [04:01.06] |
You were the only one in the room |
| [04:04.58] |
Well, I played a few songs for those bumps in the night |
| [04:07.50] |
In fact, I played this very tune |
| [04:09.83] |
But you said, "What is this six-stringed instrument |
| [04:14.05] |
But an adolescent loom?" |
| [04:16.81] |
And one crowded hour |
| [04:19.68] |
Would lead to my wreck and ruin |
