《Reflections of the Marionette》歌词

[00:00:00] Reflections of the Marionette - Two Gallants

[00:00:32] Call the dogs and sound the horns

[00:00:36] The city key of where's I borns

[00:00:40] Has been stolen by someone

[00:00:43] I thought I knew

[00:00:48] She blew in with some angel dust

[00:00:52] From southern state where love is lust and I hope she's gone

[00:00:58] By the time this song is through

[00:01:04] Out among the passers by

[00:01:08] She wets her lips sweats her eyes

[00:01:12] Baits her tongue with pity for her prey

[00:01:17] Do your best to look away

[00:01:20] And she transcends the avenue

[00:01:23] A smile for me a wink for you

[00:01:27] I guess I'll take my place in yesterday

[00:01:33] But darlin' I can't wait

[00:01:36] For you to leave this town

[00:01:40] You just got here too late

[00:01:43] And no one wants you 'round

[00:01:47] With one foot on my back

[00:01:51] And the other on the rail

[00:01:54] I don't want to see you fall

[00:01:58] I want to see you fail

[00:02:03] And the night is sweet the night's divine

[00:02:06] It stains your teeth with blood red wine

[00:02:10] And leaves you lying

[00:02:11] In your enemy's arms

[00:02:16] And while you mumble down the hall

[00:02:20] Something 'bout a skin made wall

[00:02:23] You find you're just

[00:02:25] A sucker for her charms

[00:02:30] And the vanity that cakes her face

[00:02:33] Sucks you in to death's embrace

[00:02:37] Feel your sense of self just fade away

[00:02:41] Spread you ashes in your grave

[00:02:44] And see you're just a one man show

[00:02:47] And once you're done it's time to go

[00:02:50] Hear somebody's footsteps down the way

[00:02:55] But darlin' I can't wait

[00:02:58] For you to leave this town

[00:03:01] You just got here too late

[00:03:04] And no one wants you 'round

[00:03:08] With one foot on my back

[00:03:11] And the other on the rail

[00:03:14] I don't want to see you fall

[00:03:17] I just want to see you fail

[00:03:38] And the youth protests the failing light

[00:03:41] With his shirt sleeves rolled in the humid night

[00:03:44] He wonders when it was

[00:03:46] That he went wrong

[00:03:50] And in denial while he ascends

[00:03:52] To a lofty room all dreams end

[00:03:55] He watches while his footsteps

[00:03:58] Lead him on

[00:04:01] And in the fires he takes his time

[00:04:04] The well worn steps he slowly climbs

[00:04:07] The final line of meathooks on display

[00:04:11] Did your conscience lose its way

[00:04:13] And in the streets the sirens sing

[00:04:16] What word they tell what news they bring

[00:04:19] The puppet and his cloak of strings obeys

[00:04:23] That's just bound in suede

[00:04:26] Hail the death of day

[00:04:29] But darlin' I can't wait

[00:04:32] For you to leave this town

[00:04:34] You just got here too late

[00:04:37] And no one wants you 'round

[00:04:40] With one foot on my back

[00:04:43] And the other on the rail

[00:04:46] I don't want to see you fall

[00:04:49] I want to see you fail

[00:04:52] I don't want to see you fall

[00:04:55] I want to see you fail
