《American Wife》歌词

[00:00:00] American Wife - Rilo Kiley (里奥·久利)

[00:00:16] 'Losing your brave 'is that what he said

[00:00:22] The flag will still wave even after you're dead

[00:00:30] I'll be your American wife

[00:00:35] Like the eagle perched atop the globe

[00:00:38] We'll climb up above the smog and

[00:00:42] Live in blissful ignorance

[00:00:44] With a dog and a TV set

[00:00:47] We'll eat flesh 'til we're fatter than our friends

[00:00:53] But I only play the fool very often

[00:01:00] I only bet my heart like a spade

[00:01:07] But I like the gambling life

[00:01:13] You never know what you're gonna get

[00:01:16] Bet your shoes keys and glasses

[00:01:19] You'll be barefoot free from debt blinded and wandering;

[00:01:24] Maybe then you'll be happier

[00:01:28] (then you'll be happier)

[00:01:34] The wind used to come and nearly blow you over

[00:01:40] The wind doesn't move down these parts anymore

[00:01:48] And so goes the bartering life

[00:01:54] Caught for food then they strap you down

[00:01:56] You scream 'Miami was pretty before we were bitter;

[00:02:02] Before we let our sadness litter the streets '

[00:02:43] You offered your father could be mine

[00:02:50] We looked at your family tree and politely declined

[00:02:57] You have eleven siblings

[00:03:00] Who've had ten broken limbs

[00:03:03] Nine divorces

[00:03:06] And eight broken hearts

[00:03:08] And seven grandkids

[00:03:11] And six bypass surgeries

[00:03:15] Five college degrees

[00:03:18] Four are sick;

[00:03:19] Three are well

[00:03:20] Two are dead

[00:03:22] One's in jail

[00:03:24] No one here moves away

[00:03:26] No one here moves away

[00:03:32] 'Come on to the grave 'is that what I said

[00:03:38] (Is that what I said )

[00:03:39] My memory fades when I'm drinking in bed

[00:03:47] I miss the sobering life

[00:03:52] The comforter will not come unto to me

[00:03:55] 'Til I'm a fearless faithless

[00:03:58] Nothing at all

[00:04:01] 'Cause no one escapes their life

[00:04:04] No one escapes their life

[00:04:07] No one escapes their life

[00:04:10] (No one No one)

[00:04:13] It may sound depressing

[00:04:15] It's just a life lesson

[00:04:18] In the bartering gambling life

[00:04:24] I'll be your American Wife
