《These Few Presidents》歌词

[00:00:00] These Few Presidents - WHY?

[00:00:17] At your house the smell of our still living human bodies and oven gas

[00:00:24] You pray to nothing out loud

[00:00:27] Two first names and an ampersand

[00:00:31] Embroidered proudly on a kitchen towel

[00:00:34] You're a beautiful and violent work

[00:00:38] With a skinny neck of a chinese bird

[00:00:42] In a fading ancient painting

[00:00:45] And if you're in heaven waiting

[00:00:49] You made it there fighting

[00:00:51] The tightest kite string

[00:00:52] In a bad storm with lightning

[00:00:56] And now these few presidents

[00:01:01] Frowning in my pocket can persuade no god

[00:01:08] To let me let you talkoh

[00:01:12] These few presidents

[00:01:15] Frowning in my pocket

[00:01:19] Can persuade no god to let me let you off

[00:01:27] Even though I haven't seen you in years

[00:01:31] Yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere

[00:01:40] I thought I had a peble in my sock

[00:01:44] I pulled it off and shook out a wasp

[00:01:48] It stumbled out lostand without a pause

[00:01:51] I'm stung as I wasstill I stomped it

[00:01:55] I thoughtthere is no paved street worth

[00:01:57] Of your perfect scandanavian feet

[00:02:01] My crooked chinese fingers groped

[00:02:07] The machinery of your throat

[00:02:13] And now these few presidents

[00:02:17] Frowning in my pocket can persuade no god

[00:02:25] To let me let you talkoh

[00:02:29] These few presidents drowning in my pocket

[00:02:36] Can persuade no god to let me let you off

[00:02:44] Even though I haven't seen you in years

[00:02:47] Yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere
