[00:00:00] Gods of American Success (美国成功之神) - John Mark McMillan

[00:00:01] Written by：John Mark McMillan

[00:00:03] White faced phantoms in a foggy rain

[00:00:06] Minnows in the pool the way they slip away

[00:00:09] And I go fumbling go running in and repossess

[00:00:13] The story of my youth

[00:00:14] The story of my electric pains

[00:00:17] Are we running after flickering sparks oh

[00:00:20] Are we babbling for diamonds in the dark oh

[00:00:23] The way we chase that mercury

[00:00:26] The way we chase that mercury

[00:00:30] Loud like lions in the slickest wool

[00:00:33] Desperately we haunt the other animal

[00:00:37] But in the end if all we are is dogs out back chasing cars

[00:00:40] Then pray that we don't get the things we want

[00:00:44] Are we running after flickering sparks oh

[00:00:47] Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark oh

[00:00:50] The way we chase that mercury

[00:00:54] The way we chase that mercury oh

[00:00:57] Love a pound of flesh

[00:00:59] Offer it up to the Gods of American success

[00:01:02] Doesn't matter what you are you're only second best

[00:01:06] If it's all that you can ever hope to be

[00:01:09] The way you chase that mercury oh

[00:01:18] Around your fumble in the mystery

[00:01:21] Afraid to be it smells while we pretend to be

[00:01:25] Something more than what we are

[00:01:26] Losing love a bunch run hearts

[00:01:28] Mystified by everything we see

[00:01:32] Are we running after flickering sparks oh

[00:01:36] Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark oh

[00:01:39] The way we chase that mercury

[00:01:41] The way we chase that mercury oh

[00:01:45] Oh the way we chase that mercury

[00:01:48] The way we chase that mercury oh

[00:01:52] Love a pound of flesh

[00:01:54] Offer it up to the Gods of American success

[00:01:57] Doesn't matter who you are you're only second best

[00:02:00] If it's all that you can ever hope to be

[00:02:04] The way you chase that mercury oh

[00:02:08] The way you chase that mercury

[00:02:34] There must be more to this

[00:02:37] Our desperate wonder and

[00:02:40] How do we put to rest

[00:02:44] All of our victims and

[00:02:47] Beneath the shadows of

[00:02:50] All that we think we want

[00:02:54] Is there a light we can't see

[00:03:01] There must be more to this

[00:03:04] Our desperate wonder and

[00:03:08] How do we put to rest

[00:03:11] All of our victims and

[00:03:14] Beneath the shadows of

[00:03:18] All that we think we want

[00:03:21] Is there a light we can't see

[00:03:26] The way you chase that mercury
