《City Of Gold》歌词

[00:00:01] City Of Gold - Pearls Before Swine

[00:00:14] I have crawled across

[00:00:17] The burning sands to the city of gold

[00:00:26] When I scratched upon the gates

[00:00:31] Oh lord and I felt so old

[00:00:37] My talking it was only words

[00:00:44] My smile was only teeth

[00:00:50] Though I had so many friends there

[00:00:53] I knew I was alone oh lord

[00:00:58] I felt like a thief

[00:01:02] And I saw a man all wrapped in chains

[00:01:09] And wracked with pain all through

[00:01:15] I said :

[00:01:15] 'I saw your face once in a pane of glass

[00:01:21] And he said : 'I saw you'

[00:01:28] Then he handed me a book I asked him what it was

[00:01:40] But just then all the town's people

[00:01:44] Gathered around to look at all the blood

[00:01:52] The people

[00:01:55] They all jeered at him and circled him all 'round

[00:02:05] And an old man pulled a gun from his pants

[00:02:11] And laughed and shot him down

[00:02:17] They called for gas they pulled out knives

[00:02:23] What they did I will not say

[00:02:30] Then the old man turned to me said :

[00:02:33] 'We don't like your kind'

[00:02:36] And I knew that I was saved
