《Smart Flesh》歌词

[00:00:01] Smart Flesh - The Low Anthem

[00:00:20] See the high wire man there before the sun

[00:00:27] He goes home at night where he beats on his son

[00:00:34] The play right in the attic in his skylight of sun

[00:00:40] As the cigarette on his lips

[00:00:47] And his son beats down on the smart smart flesh

[00:00:54] It comes down from high in its heavenly stand

[00:01:00] Suggesting redemption will be easily possessed

[00:01:07] For less than any pound of Flesh

[00:01:14] It's terribly important to every man of his state

[00:01:20] To settle the score write the record straight

[00:01:26] So he may free his slaves where on the death bed he lays

[00:01:33] Such sweet and knowing flesh

[00:01:39] Knowing in the end you'll be alone

[00:01:46] For lonely death does creep

[00:01:53] So hire yourself a chimney maid

[00:01:59] And smoke yourself to sleep

[00:02:19] Among the manikin men all dressed up and in dart

[00:02:26] My manic depressive true love she leaves me for lone

[00:02:33] The rooster crawls and daybreak is upon

[00:02:38] As the cigarette on his lips

[00:02:44] Saying pretty girls go and take your time

[00:02:51] For god only knows how you have taken mine

[00:02:57] And seize them clear to the ends of time

[00:03:03] To hold the smart smart flesh

[00:03:09] Knowing in the end you'll be alone

[00:03:16] For lonely death does creep

[00:03:22] So hire yourself a chimney maid

[00:03:29] And smoke yourself to sleep

[00:04:01] Now the hateful play right it's time that he dies

[00:04:08] Must visit the judge in a new disguise

[00:04:14] Saying judge in your robes oh judge so wise

[00:04:21] There's something on your lip

[00:04:27] In a man of his state right before he dies

[00:04:33] Must clear the black pages to tarnish the mind

[00:04:39] In a bible in a bath for mind to hide

[00:04:46] He soak the smart smart flesh

[00:04:52] Saying in the end you'll be alone

[00:04:59] For lonely death does creep

[00:05:05] So hire yourself a chimney maid

[00:05:11] And smoke yourself to sleep

[00:05:45] The unknowing tumor is fixing his home

[00:05:50] In a damp bed of the catacomb

[00:05:57] As a raging war on the high wire unfolds

[00:06:04] She buries her teeth in the flesh

[00:06:10] Now the world's a machine do you know that it's true

[00:06:17] For the sole lover's eye laid just outside the room

[00:06:23] He loves itself widely but what can it do

[00:06:30] The cigarette on his lip
