Song | Dream Killing Town |
Artist | John Mellencamp |
Album | Chestnut Street Incident |
作词 : Cougar, Green | |
Written by John Mellencamp and George Green | |
Pre-war matador | |
save your broken bones | |
Golden rule, he's such a fool | |
in the streets alone | |
Slow burn, taciturn | |
nothing left to say | |
Column five, sympathize | |
it's easier that way | |
(1st chorus) | |
Just want to be a big boy | |
pushin' some Jim-jims around | |
but it's hard to be a dreamer | |
in a dream killing town | |
Hard to be a dreamer | |
in a dream killing town | |
Good as dead, Sally said | |
I fear what she knows | |
Money spent, for reconnaissance | |
and blood's upon her clothes | |
Child's toy, soldier boy | |
playing with his gun | |
Uptown, missile clown | |
living on the run | |
(2nd chorus) | |
He just want to be a big boy | |
growing up too soon | |
Show you his gun | |
flash his knife in the sun | |
and dance to a rock and roll tune | |
(bridge) | |
Once tried, twice denied | |
Sally said she knew | |
Full sized polarized | |
is what she's looking through | |
Switch blade, promenade | |
leather jacket war | |
Cliché, don't runaway | |
Slipping out the back door | |
All night parasite | |
wake me up at noon | |
Copped himself an attitude | |
down at the Red Dog Saloon | |
Quick laid, masquerade | |
gets the young boy up tight | |
Low rent, Jack-a-Lent | |
says he's gonna be all right |
