Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Edwards
[00:27.57] That's no way to live
[00:32.66] all tangled up like balls of string.
[00:39.75] And we woke at dawn
[00:44.56] and watched the sun glide over the hill.
[01:03.16] I just said the first
[01:08.11] three words that popped into my head.
[01:14.93] Let me off the bus;
[01:19.67] I'm tired and sore and should probably change clothes.
[01:27.80] And the circuits are blown,
[01:30.29] my woman is cold,
[01:33.32] our children are stoned and worthless.
[01:38.88] All waiting for you to tell them the truth.
[01:45.17] The truth is a line, that you'll never use.
[02:13.40] And her dignity
[02:18.14] shown so bright like a light on a hill.
[02:24.35] And she burned for me,
[02:29.61] and no other man came near the flame.
[02:36.80] And back country songs the defeaning twang of the rich-white-kid blues
[02:48.17] You can own the stage,
[02:53.31] but the lights and glares will not make you real.
[03:00.94] She whispers to me, I was meant to be free.
[03:07.12] This life that we've built is deadly.
[03:12.55] She crawls from my bed, with a comb cross her head.
[03:19.10] She crawls to the train and drives herself home
