《Small Metal Gods》歌词

[00:00:00] Small Metal Gods - David Sylvian (戴维·西尔维恩)

[00:00:49] It's the farthest place I've ever been

[00:00:58] It's a new frontier for me

[00:01:07] And you balance things like you wouldn't believe

[00:01:16] When you should just let things be

[00:01:27] Yes you juggle things cause you can't lose sight

[00:01:34] Of the wretched story line

[00:01:42] It's the narrative that must go on

[00:01:50] Until the end of time

[00:02:06] And you're guilty of some self-neglect

[00:02:13] And the mind unravels for days

[00:02:22] I've told you once

[00:02:26] Yes a thousand times

[00:02:32] I'm better off this way

[00:02:41] I'm better off

[00:02:45] This way

[00:02:57] Where's my queen of hearts my royal flush

[00:03:05] I have cleaned and scrubbed her decks

[00:03:14] A suicide my better days

[00:03:23] There's nothing I regret

[00:03:36] I've placed the gods in a zip-lock bag

[00:03:44] I've put them in a drawer

[00:03:51] They've refused my prayers for the umpteenth time

[00:03:57] So I'm evening up the score

[00:04:04] Small metal gods from a casting line

[00:04:11] From a factory in Mumbai

[00:04:18] Some manual labourer's bread and butter

[00:04:27] And a single-minded life

[00:04:37] Small metal gods cheap souvenirs

[00:04:44] You've abandoned me for sure

[00:04:52] I'm dumping you my childish things

[00:05:01] I'm evening up the score
