[00:00.000] 作曲 : Colvin
[00:12.357]Please no more therapy
[00:14.959]Mother take care of me
[00:17.778]Piece me together with a
[00:20.641]Needle and thread
[00:23.468]Wrap me in eiderdown
[00:26.249]Lace from your wedding gown
[00:29.173]Fold me and lay me down
[00:31.876]On your bed
[00:34.316]Or liken me to a shoe
[00:37.635]Blackened and spit shined through
[00:40.239]Kicking back home to you
[00:43.234]Smiling back home
[00:45.886]Singing back home to you
[00:48.792]Laughing back home to you
[00:51.445]Dragging back home to you
[00:57.334]I was so wary then
[01:00.043]The ugly American
[01:02.695]Thinner than oxygen
[01:05.599]Tough as a whore
[01:08.402]I said you can lie to me
[01:11.104]I own what's inside of me
[01:14.770]And nothing surprises me anymore
[01:19.441]But forests in Germany
[01:22.395]Kids in the Tuileries
[01:25.146]Broken down fortresses
[01:27.986]In old Italy
[01:30.698]And claiming his victory
[01:33.563]Shrouded in mystery
[01:36.223]He went running away with me
[01:42.333]Back in our home New York
[01:44.864]Walking these streets forlorn
[01:47.685]We all in our uniforms
[01:50.591]Black and black
[01:53.329]Doing that slouch and jive
[01:56.285]The artist must survive
[01:58.897]We've got all we need we cried
[02:01.769]And we don't look back
[02:04.374]Thinking we had it made
[02:07.541]Poised for the hit parade
[02:10.324]Knee deep in accolades
[02:12.816]The conceptual pair
[02:14.801]But ever the malcontent
[02:18.518]He left without incident
[02:21.444]Vanished into thin air
[03:12.474]Now I am always amazed
[03:14.779]Words can fill up a page
[03:17.606]Pages fill up the days
[03:20.468]Between him and me
[03:23.216]But the vows that we never keep
[03:26.036]From bedrooms to business speak
[03:29.028]Make me remember how cheap
[03:31.933]Words can be
[03:34.363]And the letters I wrote you of
[03:37.397]Were those of the desperate stuff
[03:40.117]Like begging for love in a suicide threat
[03:45.389]But I am too young to die
[03:48.433]Too old for a lullaby
[03:51.200]Too tired for life on the ledge
[03:57.057]But I had a dream last night
[03:59.662]Of lovers who walked the plank
[04:02.525]Out on the edge of time
[04:05.388]Amidst ridicule
[04:08.238]They laughed as they rocked and reeled
[04:11.006]Over the mining fields
[04:13.815]Coming to rest on this ship of fools
[04:19.480]But he just took polaroids
[04:22.698]Of her smile in the light
[04:25.507]Of the dawn of the menacing sky
[04:30.867]And before they went overbaord
[04:33.462]She turned and held up a card
[04:36.241]And it said Valentine
