《Darkling Down》歌词

[00:00:00] Darkling Down - Walter Becker

[00:00:24] Well along in the twenty first hour

[00:00:27] When the whole damn grid goes down

[00:00:30] This is how a party gets started

[00:00:32] In for a penny in for a pound

[00:00:42] All at once the whole joint goes quiet

[00:00:45] And all the wavy lines go straight

[00:00:48] One fool among fools is wondering

[00:00:51] What happens if I die too late

[00:00:54] Get back with your dime store nihilism

[00:00:57] Big daddy's on a glory run

[00:01:00] Gettin' down on the cellular level

[00:01:03] Just in case I got to call someone

[00:01:05] Darkling down on a darkling plain

[00:01:10] In the dim dank night of the pissin' down rain

[00:01:16] Darkling down on the balls of his ass

[00:01:22] While he prays and waits for the storm to pass

[00:01:35] Lemme show you where the good thing happens

[00:01:39] It's a barbershop in inglewood

[00:01:41] Too bad we won't get past the bouncer

[00:01:45] Sadly I've been banned for good

[00:01:53] Well there's a coffee shop right round the corner

[00:01:56] The proprietor knows my name

[00:01:59] Cup of joe and a vicks inhaler

[00:02:02] Now you're ready for the big boy game

[00:02:05] Steady son come seven come eleven

[00:02:08] If either one of us can count that high

[00:02:11] Muscatel if the deal gets dicey

[00:02:14] Milk and honey in the by and by

[00:02:17] Darkling down it's a damn disgrace

[00:02:22] Going round and round in a very small place

[00:02:28] Darkling down with a hole in his soul

[00:02:34] That he can't explain and he can't control

[00:03:17] For the fun or for the money

[00:03:20] For the f**k of it or just because

[00:03:23] Listen friend this is no damn picnic

[00:03:26] But let's imagine for a minute that it was

[00:03:29] Who will feast on this buzzard's banquet

[00:03:31] Who will render my heroic bust

[00:03:34] Who will choke on my lachrymose musings

[00:03:37] Who will eat my zero dust

[00:03:40] Who will wear this puke streaked tunic

[00:03:43] Who shall gorge on this cup of spleen

[00:03:46] Who will sing about the good bad and ugly

[00:03:49] And all and everything in between

[00:03:51] Darkling down this is god's good man

[00:03:57] On his hands and knees livin' god's good plan

[00:04:03] Darkling down and we don't know still

[00:04:08] When he'll come around if he ever will

[00:04:15] Darkling down on a zero g dive

[00:04:20] And we just can't say will the fool survive

[00:04:27] Darkling down in a seven g turn

[00:04:32] Glowing like a coal in the after burn
