《How Can You Live in the Northeast?》歌词

[00:00:00] How Can You Live In The Northeast - Paul Simon

[00:00:22] We heard the fireworks

[00:00:25] Rushed out to watch the sky

[00:00:28] Happy go lucky fourth of July

[00:00:33] How can you live in the Northeast

[00:00:36] How can you live in the South

[00:00:39] How can you build on the banks of a river

[00:00:42] When the flood water pours from the mouth

[00:00:45] How can you be a Christian

[00:00:47] How can you be a Jew

[00:00:50] How can you be a Muslim a Buddhist a Hindu

[00:00:54] How can you

[00:00:57] Weak as the winter sun we enter life on earth

[00:01:01] Names and religion comes just after date of birth

[00:01:07] Then everybody gets a tongue to speak

[00:01:10] And everyone hears an inner voice

[00:01:13] A day at the end of the week to wonder and rejoice

[00:01:20] If the answer is infinite light

[00:01:23] Why do we sleep in the dark

[00:01:29] How can you live in the Northeast

[00:01:32] How can you live in the South

[00:01:35] How can you build on the banks of a river

[00:01:38] When the flood water pours from the mouth

[00:01:40] How can you tattoo your body

[00:01:43] Why do you cover your head

[00:01:45] How can you eat from a rice bowl

[00:01:49] The holy man only breaks bread

[00:02:03] We watched the fireworks 'til they were fireflies

[00:02:08] Followed a path of stars over the endless skies

[00:02:25] How can you live in the Northeast

[00:02:28] How can you live in the South

[00:02:31] How can you build on the banks of a river

[00:02:34] When the flood water pours from the mouth from the mouth

[00:03:04] I've been given all I wanted

[00:03:09] Only three generations off the boat

[00:03:14] I've harvested and I've planted

[00:03:19] I'm wearing my father's old coat
