《Benediction e(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Benediction (Live) - The Weakerthans

[00:00:24] So you don't get to be a saint

[00:00:29] Martyrs never last this long

[00:00:34] Guess I'll never be the one to defeat desire in song

[00:00:43] Here's a marker here's my naked skin our Exhibit A

[00:00:53] Put a small x where I lost my way

[00:01:03] All the actors broke their legs

[00:01:07] And it's too late to postpone

[00:01:12] The producer's getting high

[00:01:17] And the audience went home

[00:01:22] Smile and take your awkward bow

[00:01:27] Turn and stumble off the stage

[00:01:31] Let the rain be your applause

[00:01:36] Every encore soothe your rage

[00:01:41] Squint with one eye hum a show-tune

[00:01:45] And wait for your ride to say

[00:01:51] "Oh that's where you must have lost your way"

[00:02:20] Megaphones in helicopters squeal

[00:02:26] "Hey are you okay "

[00:02:29] As searchlights circle where we lost our way

[00:02:39] All our accidents went purposeful and fell

[00:02:49] Stripped of providence or any way to tell

[00:02:58] That our intentions were intangible and sweet

[00:03:08] Sick with simple math and shy discoveries

[00:03:14] Piled up against our impending defeat
