《How to Be a Carpenter》歌词

[00:00:00] So you want to be a carpenter do you

[00:00:02] Well it takes more than a hammer boy

[00:00:04] You're gonna need blueprints and a will to build and

[00:00:05] Straighten your cap

[00:00:06] You look like you've been through a war

[00:00:08] Wipe that grin off your mug

[00:00:09] You got a sturdy frame

[00:00:10] Sluggish posture just won't cut it

[00:00:12] You're gonna need schooling

[00:00:12] And and take notes

[00:00:14] And god if I catch you yawning again

[00:00:16] You're gonna regret ever asking for my help

[00:00:17] And dammit you gotta hustle

[00:00:18] This is a slacker-free zone

[00:00:19] And where's my pencil go get your hard-hat

[00:00:21] Here's a nickel go get us a ruler

[00:00:22] And a saw and a drill and lots of graph paper

[00:00:24] I used to have a rope ladder

[00:00:25] But tattered were the rungs

[00:00:27] I strung it from the highest willow

[00:00:28] Trying to hug the sun

[00:00:30] The seventh level buckled

[00:00:31] And I tumbled from the summit

[00:00:33] Now I'm back to re-climb

[00:00:34] And this time light my cigarette from it

[00:00:36] My stitchin division to vision warfares numb

[00:00:38] Enough to soak suddenly in a bullet bath

[00:00:40] And skip stones in the morning as I

[00:00:42] Lie in color phantom tantrum explicable

[00:00:45] Sit and pull the petals off wild flower patches

[00:00:47] Magic happens

[00:00:48] Behold pity the lowlife parish

[00:00:50] Doom City barracks left remorse coursed

[00:00:52] On a horse-drawn carriage by the torch of Polaris

[00:00:54] To the Badlands where every bridge

[00:00:55] Collapse right where the crowd stands

[00:00:57] Where the witches are fireproof

[00:00:58] And every preacher's a madman

[00:01:00] Frigid be the appleseed demeanor towards the bay

[00:01:03] Where the landshark Parliament swims

[00:01:04] When they pause to polish they fins

[00:01:06] The better brains will preach the village

[00:01:07] Through the city square

[00:01:08] To the light heavy and middle-weight integrate

[00:01:09] Slept with sticks and stones in my pillowcase

[00:01:12] Oohmy bomb's light simulator

[00:01:13] Picks barnacles off the tugboat belly

[00:01:15] Left my spirit home in a shoebox in case I die

[00:01:18] Got a rugged smoke-green halo floating inches off the swamp

[00:01:20] Had that phase when the devil

[00:01:22] Tree contacts a sparkle in my eye

[00:01:24] Now step back from the reservoir

[00:01:25] And let the settlers drink

[00:01:27] Salvage all priorities and iron out all kinks

[00:01:30] My house ain't made of bricks

[00:01:31] And straw but never has it crumbled

[00:01:33] Cuz I stitched the brain's rigidity with symmetry

[00:01:35] Come visit me

[00:01:36] It's fascinating

[00:01:37] Now here's how its done

[00:01:38] I'm only gonna show you once

[00:01:39] So pay close attention

[00:01:40] Hear me now or hear me never

[00:01:42] Glue your little eyes to the diagram

[00:01:43] See the plywood the nails the glue

[00:01:45] You work every inch

[00:01:46] Your domain and you must treat it well

[00:01:47] Keep it clean or it'll swallow you whole

[00:01:49] Where's the T-square hand me the pliers

[00:01:51] Now dammit oh this will never do

[00:01:52] You have to want the castle

[00:01:54] Head Up shoulders back

[00:01:55] Be the materials

[00:01:56] Know your limits only to break your limits

[00:01:58] Are you listening

[00:01:59] God dammit boy pay attention

[00:02:01] Little bit more juice this time

[00:02:03] Try it again

[00:02:03] Yeah a little bit more elbow grease this time

[00:02:06] Try it again

[00:02:06] Concentrate a little more focus this time

[00:02:08] You can kick and scream

[00:02:09] And yell but damn I'm only tryin' to help

[00:02:12] Try it again You're not doing it right

[00:02:13] Here now yall watch

[00:02:14] Try it again Stop sulking

[00:02:17] Try it again I'm bout to make it easy

[00:02:19] For you yall just Watch

[00:02:20] You can kick and scream

[00:02:22] And yell but damn I'm only tryin' to help

[00:02:24] Stinging the hunt

[00:02:25] The hunt dispatched a pack of wild dog silhouettes

[00:02:26] All sulking by the skyline

[00:02:28] Focused with a bonus hunger pain

[00:02:30] My sincere addiction imbalance stems

[00:02:32] From a vintage grimace slap to the mug of

[00:02:34] Ancestral branch camped on the vessels

[00:02:36] Yes and I abide

[00:02:36] The laws of the hidden desert survived

[00:02:39] And every peasant presenteed it

[00:02:40] On the crescent less deprived

[00:02:42] With the exception of pleasant finale binges

[00:02:43] On the great endangered interests

[00:02:45] Of phantom brigades slaving to save that princess

[00:02:48] I double the negative

[00:02:49] To no avail no promised benefits

[00:02:52] Just delegates peddling pairs of negatives

[00:02:54] With magnified magnanimous appearance

[00:02:56] Sandy sinners in opinion shut

[00:02:58] Now what of the madness fragments Stagnant

[00:03:00] I oughta make a vision sing my twix

[00:03:01] Cling to your pigeon wings

[00:03:03] Vision militia indent benders

[00:03:04] We've flooded Hell's kitchen sink

[00:03:06] Walkin' eye civility simpleton citizen

[00:03:08] Mixers to kiss the sky in unison

[00:03:10] Sinister city-blistered corporate rule-igans

[00:03:12] All I really want's a nickel to feed my little pigs

[00:03:14] Big Dick three cheers to the product

[00:03:17] Consumer populace feed but never dreamed of the process

[00:03:20] When a slanted advantage point sort of makeshift

[00:03:22] Criminals date rape the hostage

[00:03:24] Dream away the blame pain yeah

[00:03:26] But it seeps through the cracks

[00:03:27] And drips from the ceiling and smells

[00:03:28] The rich scent of my tracks

[00:03:29] All I ever really wanted was a jungle

[00:03:32] And a jungle I got

[00:03:33] See it ain't the vision

[00:03:34] It's the plot that makes me stop

[00:03:35] Try it again I don't want to

[00:03:37] Try it again I don't want to

[00:03:39] Try it again I don't want to

[00:03:40] Try it again I don't want to

[00:03:42] Try it again I don't want to

[00:03:43] Try it again I don't want to

[00:03:44] Try it again I don't want to

[00:03:46] Try it one more time

[00:03:52] I'm not even interested anymore

[00:03:54] Try it one more time
