《Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine》歌词

[00:00:00] Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine - Nellie McKay

[00:00:17] She hides in an attic concealed on a shelf

[00:00:26] Behind volumes of literature based on herself

[00:00:34] And runs across the pages like some tiny elf

[00:00:39] Knowing that it's hard to find

[00:00:43] Stuff way back in her mind

[00:00:47] Winds up spending all of her time

[00:00:52] Trying to memorize every line

[00:00:56] Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine

[00:01:05] Sweet lady of death wants me to die

[00:01:13] So she can come sit by my bedside and sigh

[00:01:22] And wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes

[00:01:26] Then softly she will explain

[00:01:30] Just exactly who was to blame

[00:01:34] For causing me to go insane

[00:01:39] And finally blow out my brain

[00:01:43] Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine

[00:01:51] Well you know that it's a shame and a pity

[00:01:55] You were raised up in the city

[00:02:00] And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways

[00:02:08] Ah 'bout country ways

[00:02:13] The joy of life she dresses in black

[00:02:21] With celestial secrets engraved in her back

[00:02:30] And her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack

[00:02:35] But you know when you look into her eyes

[00:02:38] All she's learned she's had to memorize

[00:02:42] And the only way you'll ever get her high

[00:02:46] Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die

[00:02:51] Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine

[00:02:59] Now she's the one who gives us all those magical things

[00:03:08] And reads us stories out of the I Ching

[00:03:16] Then she passes out a whole new basket of rings

[00:03:21] That when you put on your hand

[00:03:24] Makes you one of the Angel Band

[00:03:29] And gives you the power to be a man

[00:03:33] But what it does for her you never quite understand

[00:03:37] Sweet Lorraine ah sweet Lorraine

[00:03:46] Well you know that it's a shame and a pity

[00:03:50] You were raised up in the city

[00:03:54] And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways

[00:04:02] Oh 'bout country ways oh 'bout country ways

[00:04:10] Yeah about country ways oh country ways
