《Evening Drag》歌词

[00:00:00] Evening Drag - Simeon Soul Charger

[00:00:28] Back to the land of old familiar feelings

[00:00:34] And overflowing fountain cola tides

[00:00:42] I read the lines but couldn't find the meaning

[00:00:47] Was a greeting card in cold fluorescent light

[00:00:54] There's no consent to marry here

[00:00:57] But the cops can't carry off the queers

[00:01:01] So they raid the malls for Mexicans

[00:01:04] And cups of joe that never end

[00:01:08] This isn't home but I'll pretend

[00:01:11] To pick it up and start again

[00:01:14] The paranoids and prophets here

[00:01:17] Speak with one mouth but in both ears

[00:01:21] And everyone spoke of the apocalypse

[00:01:24] With a certainty I didn't have

[00:01:27] When the world didn't shatter

[00:01:29] Well I wonder if they cried or laughed

[00:01:36] And all the choirs and all the people greeting

[00:01:41] They all sang and praised

[00:01:43] And asked if it had changed

[00:01:49] I could have lied but all good things are fleeting

[00:01:54] Well I knew it but it didn't look the same

[00:02:16] The more they spoke the more they were revealing

[00:02:21] And I knew it was a sale and not their lives

[00:02:30] But I stayed quiet and let them go on speaking

[00:02:36] For everyone deserves a chance to lie

[00:02:42] Not alcohol or hurricanes

[00:02:46] Or snorting high school kids' cocaine

[00:02:49] Could scab a wound or twist a fate

[00:02:52] Or dull a child's fermented rage

[00:02:55] Better to burn out fast or so they say

[00:02:59] Than stick around and fade away

[00:03:02] And though we touched I never came

[00:03:05] The sex feels best when I feel ashamed

[00:03:09] And I ran to the paper like a confidant

[00:03:12] And I dressed it in the evening rag

[00:03:15] Well I should have known better

[00:03:17] But old habits kind of seem to last

[00:03:19] And I went to the bottle for my confidence

[00:03:22] And I dressed up in my evening drag

[00:03:26] And everyone chattered

[00:03:27] But I guess I only had to laugh

[00:03:43] How are you my friend

[00:03:46] He said I'm working for the weekends

[00:03:49] If you care enough to ask then I will tell

[00:03:58] And at the end he asked how was I feeling

[00:04:03] Well I heard you were somebody somewhere else

[00:04:11] Annie Star's in Zanzabar

[00:04:14] Where life don't move so fast

[00:04:18] Adam thought his mind apart

[00:04:21] But he was always into that

[00:04:24] And Mike Good really was good

[00:04:27] Well I stayed at his museum

[00:04:35] A magician could not escape

[00:04:38] The crushing load of father's weight

[00:04:41] Or pacify a mother's hate

[00:04:45] That keeps her children rightly raised

[00:04:48] And everyone asked are you a champion

[00:04:51] Of the puppet on the right of left

[00:04:54] They said everything mattered

[00:04:56] But I guess I only had to laugh

[00:04:58] And I ran to the paper like a confidant

[00:05:01] And I dressed it in the evening rag

[00:05:05] Well I should have known better

[00:05:06] But old habits kind of seem to last

[00:05:09] And I went to the bottle for my confidence

[00:05:12] And I dressed up in my evening drag

[00:05:15] And everyone chattered

[00:05:17] But I guess I only had to laugh
