[00:00.00] 作词 : Carroll, Linsley, Linsley
[00:16.53]It's when billy's whores are re to seeorkin'
[00:19.83]They're workin' with the skeleton crew
[00:24.00]It's when the sky over jersey
[00:27.27]That sky starts to drain from view
[00:31.65]It's when my woman pawns her voice so
[00:34.26]So she can make her old excuses sound new
[00:39.39]But i just want one clue
[00:45.33]Refrain:
[00:45.51]'cause when the city drops into the night
[00:49.17]Before the darkness there's one moment of light
[00:53.88]When everything seems clear
[00:55.62]The other side, it seems so near
[00:57.03]What seemed wrong?
[01:04.32]I think it's gonna be just about right
[01:09.00]Before the city drops, the city drops
[01:14.19]Into the night
[01:23.70]It's when the door to the river
[01:26.94]That door is like 26 miles
[01:31.26]It's when ambitious little girls start
[01:34.05]They start to dream about a change in style
[01:38.73]It's when the slick boys got their fingers
[01:41.55]They got their fingers in the telephone dial
[01:46.89]But i think i'll just wait a while
[01:49.53]Repeat refrain
[02:46.29]It's when the sneak thieves are checkin'
[02:48.39]They're checkin the alleys for unlocked doors
[02:53.85]And billy's sister's gettin' frantic 'cause
[02:56.22]'cause billy's sister's little brother can't score
[03:01.41]It's when the woman from the dream is . . .
[03:04.50]Oh my god! that's the woman on the floor
[03:08.70]Each promise was just one promise more
[03:12.00]Repeat refrain
[03:53.82]It's when teddy's ghost is on the roof
[03:56.52]Beatin' his drum
[04:00.42]And teddy's best friend is two blocks east
[04:04.11]And he's makin' teddy's ex-girlfriend come
[04:06.87]You know, they mistook teddy's blind trust . . .
[04:11.37]Just to prove that teddy was dumb . . .
[04:15.72]But listen, you know, i think they are both just scum
[04:23.79]Repeat refrain
[05:23.88]It's when the body at the bottom,
[05:27.09]That body is my own reflection
[05:31.02]But it ain't hip to sink that low
[05:34.35]Unless you're gonna make a resurrection
[05:38.34]They're always gonna come to your door
[05:40.77]They're gonna say, "it's just a routine inspection"
[05:45.81]But what you get when you open your door
[05:49.23]What you get is just another injection
[05:53.40]And there's always gonna be one more
[05:55.68]With just a little bit less until the next one
[06:00.24]They wait in shadows and steal the light from your eyes
[06:03.15]To them vision's just some costly infection
[06:08.67]But listen, you should come with me
[06:10.74]I'm the fire, i'm the fire's reflection
[06:18.09]I'm just a constant warning to take the other direction
[06:42.51]Mister, i am your connection
[06:50.73]Repeat refrain
