《Water Tower》歌词

[00:00:00] Water Tower (水塔) - Surrogate

[00:00:17] When no one but the locals are around

[00:00:21] You will see them as they gather at the

[00:00:25] Center of this town to pay homage to their

[00:00:30] Monolithic patriarch who stands so tall

[00:00:34] He's seen from miles around

[00:00:43] They worship for the gifts that he bestows

[00:00:47] Like the water that they drink and use to

[00:00:51] Wash their dusty cloths and the way he

[00:00:55] Represents them to the passers by who constantly go trickling

[00:01:01] Down the road

[00:01:08] They will do as they are told

[00:01:14] The old folks know their time has past for usefulness and

[00:01:24] Things that don't last

[00:01:27] But they laugh themselves to sleep as they retire

[00:01:39] 'Cause they remember when they built the frame

[00:01:46] That holds that head that bears the name

[00:01:53] But the young ones shake their heads and call them liars

[00:02:18] They know that someday he will come around

[00:02:23] And he'll realize he's far too good for their midwestern town

[00:02:29] And he'll pack his things and move to where the people are

[00:02:35] The southern coast where he'll become a star
