《Drifter’s Escape》歌词

[00:00:00] Drifter's Escape - Patti Smith (帕蒂·史密斯)

[00:00:23] "Oh help me in my weakness "

[00:00:27] I heard the drifter say

[00:00:33] As they carried him from the courtroom

[00:00:37] And were taking him away

[00:00:43] "My trip hasn't been a pleasant one

[00:00:47] And my time it isn't long

[00:00:53] And I still do not know

[00:00:55] What it was that I've done wrong "

[00:01:17] Well the judge he cast his robe aside

[00:01:21] A tear came to his eye

[00:01:26] "You fail to understand " he said

[00:01:30] "Why must you even try "

[00:01:36] Outside the crowd was stirring

[00:01:40] You could hear it from the door

[00:01:46] Inside the judge was stepping down

[00:01:50] While the jury cried for more

[00:02:09] "Oh stop that cursed jury "

[00:02:13] Cried the attendant and the nurse

[00:02:19] "The trial was bad enough

[00:02:23] But this is ten times worse "

[00:02:29] Just then a bolt of lightning

[00:02:32] Struck the courthouse out of shape

[00:02:39] And while ev'rybody knelt to pray

[00:02:43] The drifter did escape

[00:02:55] Just then a bolt of lightning

[00:02:58] Struck the courthouse out of shape

[00:03:05] And while ev'rybody knelt to pray

[00:03:09] The drifter did escape
