[00:00.000] 作词 : Goldwasser & Vanwyngarden[00:01.000] 作曲 : Goldwasser & Vanwyngarden[00:16.510]Dead in the water[00:19.800]It's not a paid vacation[00:24.150]The sons and daughters of city officials[00:27.960]Attend demonstrations[00:31.570]It's hardly a sink or swim[00:34.530]When all is well if the ticket sells[00:41.160][00:47.240]Out with a wimper[00:50.570]It's not a blaze of glory[00:53.840]You look down from your temple[00:57.500]As people endeavor to make it a story[01:02.250]And chisel a marble word[01:05.310]But all is lost if it's never heard[01:10.310][01:17.150]But I've got someone to make reports[01:20.310]That tell me how my money's spent[01:24.400]To book my stays and draw my blinds[01:28.230]So I can't tell what's really there[01:32.360]And all I need's a great big congratulations[01:39.520][01:52.460]I'll keep your dreams[01:55.729]You pay attention for me[01:59.910]As strange as it seems[02:02.600]I'd rather dissolve than have you ignore me[02:07.60]The ground may be moving fast[02:10.178]But I tied my boots to a broken mast[02:16.890][02:22.600]The difference is clear[02:26.140]You throw it in your cauldron[02:30.549]Rust and veneer dusk and dawn[02:34.209]Steinways and Baldwins[02:38.60]You start with a simple stock of all the waste[02:43.19]And salt to taste[02:52.690]But damn my luck and damn these friends[02:56.209]That keep on combing back their smiles[02:59.260]I save my grace with half-assed guilt[03:04.500]And lay down the quilt upon the lawn[03:08.0]Spread my arms and soak up congratulations
