《Mechanical Telephone》歌词

[00:00:00] Mechanical Telephone - Janis Ian (珍妮斯·艾恩)

[00:00:12] DARK NIGHT BUT THERE'S PLENTY TO BELIEVE IN

[00:00:16] WHY'D YOU HAVE TO LET HER TOUCH YOUR FEELINGS

[00:00:26] I ALWAYS GAVE YOU EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEEDED

[00:00:30] ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS ASK BUT YOU JUST GOT GREEDY

[00:00:37] NOW THE ONLY TIME WE TALK

[00:00:40] IS WHEN WE TALK ALONE

[00:00:44] TO THE VOICES THAT YOU LEAVE

[00:00:47] ON YOUR MECHANICAL TELEPHONE

[00:00:52] SOMETIMES I CALL JUST TO HEAR YOUR VOICE

[00:00:55] SET FREE OF THE TALONS AND CLAWS

[00:00:59] BUT THE MEMORY I KEEP

[00:01:01] DOESN'T REALLY LET ME LEAVE ANY WORD AT ALL

[00:01:19] YOU ALWAYS LIKED ANY WOMAN WHO WAS EASY

[00:01:23] HOPE YOU'VE MET YOUR MATCH

[00:01:25] BUT CAN SHE BEAT ME

[00:01:30] YOU ALWAYS SAID I'D BE THE FIRST TO WALK

[00:01:33] YOU SAY I'M ALWAYS THE FIRST TO TALK

[00:01:36] BUT CAN SHE FREE ME

[00:01:41] NOW WE RARELY TALK ALONE

[00:01:44] WE USUALLY SPEAK IN GROUPS

[00:01:48] TO THE PEOPLE YOU INVITE FOR THE THEATER

[00:01:50] AND A BITE WHO ARE USED TO YOU

[00:01:55] THEY LIKE TO LISTEN TO THEIR OWN MOUTHS MOVE

[00:01:58] THEY LIKE TO WATCH YOUR JAW DROP TOO

[00:02:03] BUT THE WITTICISMS FADE WHEN THE COVERS

[00:02:05] ARE UNMADE AND I'M SO FAR AWAY

[00:02:22] I BET YOU THOUGHT I'D BE AN EASY LAY

[00:02:24] I BET YOU THOUGHT I LIVED ALONE

[00:02:28] HUNGRY FOR THE VISION AND THE AFTERPLAY

[00:02:31] I'VE HAD BETTER TIMES ALONE

[00:02:36] NOW WE RARELY TALK OF LOVE

[00:02:39] WE ONLY SPEAK OF NEED

[00:02:43] AND THE SACRIFICE OF LIFE TO THE ALTAR

[00:02:46] AND THE KNIFE ON OUR MOUND OF GREED

[00:02:51] I RARELY CALL JUST TO HEAR YOUR VOICE

[00:02:54] SET FREE OF THE PILLARS AND STONE

[00:02:57] BUT FOR THE COMPANY I KEEP WHEN I SPEAK

[00:03:01] TO YOUR MECHANICAL TELEPHONE

[00:03:05] IT'S THE COMPANY I KEEP WHEN I SPEAK

[00:03:08] YOUR MECHANICAL TELEPHONE

[00:03:13] THE COMPANY I KEEP
