《Fool’s Gold On Main St.》歌词

[00:00:00] Fool's Gold On Main St. - Simon Joyner

[00:00:19] Fool's gold on Main St from stop

[00:00:25] Signs to dangling telephones

[00:00:35] Children delivering newspapers all the grotesque and the hum drum

[00:00:49] I used not to worry but now it's all I do

[00:01:02] I used to be in a hurry but now

[00:01:07] I'm dragging both my boots

[00:01:15] Wondering how to get from Main to Meadow

[00:01:28] From fisherman to fish to butcher

[00:01:45] The struggle is never ending

[00:01:53] You can put your life down on paper

[00:01:59] But it's not the same as swimming

[00:02:07] I dropped a hint and you were kind enough to retrieve it

[00:02:19] You asked me where the trouble was and

[00:02:24] You were sweet enough to believe it

[00:02:30] But it was such a sad lie I had to whisper

[00:02:56] What happened to Blake and Eric

[00:03:00] Douglas Phil and Amanda

[00:03:03] What happened to Jennifer the Great

[00:03:12] Who loved me before anyone

[00:03:22] They're flying into the ground or walking high around my city

[00:03:34] While my head is just some town you wouldn't want to visit

[00:03:44] It's crowded and the people all look ghostly

[00:04:09] Fool's gold on Main St shuffling through orphan trash

[00:04:23] The birds search for the sun at their feet

[00:04:29] In every crumb of shattered glass

[00:04:36] I slipped on holy blinders as if I could turn my body in

[00:04:47] If I'm guilty when I despair will hope make me innocent again

[00:04:58] Or will it only get me through this winter

[00:05:24] There are neon invitations where

[00:05:30] Shameless billboards babble

[00:05:41] You belong to nothing at all now s

[00:05:44] Ince your pockets have unraveled

[00:05:49] Your soul is just a drop of the dream

[00:05:53] We collected with pans in the stream

[00:06:00] The streets of heaven are lined with it

[00:06:04] And the streets of heaven are clean

[00:06:10] But everything you'll ever touch is dirty
